Trainers Brett Crawford and Eric Sands are to have a conference call with Phumelela racing executive Clyde Basel this week about how to respond to the demand for more runners at Cape Town meetings, writes Michael Clower.
Cape trainers’ committee member Crawford said: “We are going to put to Clyde a few suggestions that the trainers have and then we will discuss the matter again amongst ourselves.”
There now seems more of a determination than there was initially to take measures to increase the average runners per race from ten to 12 and so avoid the stakes cut threatened by Phumelela.
