Is there a reason why there is a Confined and a SE Club Conditions race on the same card. Both have nearly identical conditions and penalty systems. Would it not be better to scrap the confined as the club race can be supported by people in/out of the area and put the confined as an Intermediate. There are only TWO Intermediate races in our area both are at the end of the season in April and in May.

The conditions are totally different the club race is for horses that have not won under rules or an Open race since 2006 & to be ridden by owner/husband/wife, son , son in law daughter or daughter in law of the owner ! .

The race planning cttee looked at the statistics over the last 3 years and found that Intermediate races were by far the least well supported i.e. very few runners, hence why we have reduced the number of them this season. All except 1 confined race, I think, have been replaced by Club conditions races to encourage entries from out of the area, which we are in need of.
