TRACK RATING CALL – MAKE IT SIMPLE April 21, 2021 5:58 pm By Matt Stewart, Racing Editor Key figures have urged for a scrapping of our embattled track racing system, days after a Australian Trainers Association chief executive Andrew Nicholl and Flemington track manager Liam O’Keeffe believe a return to four track ratings – fast, good, slow and heavy – would rein in continual grumblings. Racing Victoria chief steward Robert Cram said he also would prefer the four-rating model to the system implemented nation-wide a decade ago, with tracks rated 1-10, from a fast 1 and a heavy 10.
