[AusRace] Proposed " Everest" Race

[Roman]

Hi all,

Absolute nonsense. Just a rich person's game. Does nothing for the average
owner/trainer.

              This is an interesting read if you haven't seen it:

The concept of an owner buying a 'slot' in a race and then being able to
trade it makes no sense to me. It seems to be more of a rich man's match
race and hardly something I'd get too excited about given the conditions of
entry will likely hopelessly skew the field and rule out many worthier
contenders. You may as well spin a wheel at a casino if all you are
concerned with is the payout and who can afford to buy a place in the field.
