I am not convinced that they do - which pools the money goes into are definitely affected (eg First Four instead of Win) but I am not convinced the total is.
We have to have a sound premise behind any change
Here here Kev.
Anything aimed at levelling the horses up just keeps horses capable of becoming C3-C6 horses racing in C0-C2 horses longer. These more capable horses will be shorter odds more often because tue evening up keeps them in the lower grade longer. Just let them win their races asap and we get in form horses in C3-C6 and then ln the C0-C2 are even because only the same capability horses are racing in them.
