To give the smaller trainer also a chance to have a runner in the big one.

Racing is about owners. Trainers are just employees.

Harsh but true imo - so I can't see what good a 'cap' can do

quite right - i think a " cap 'of 5 per trainer... more than enough.

Simple question, when de Kock and Tarry ruled the July, nobody complained about capping the trainer's number of entrants, why now?

Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

Let the chips fall where they may.

Whether the selection committee get it right or wrong I really believe it must be the best horses regardless of who owns or trains them.

I think they will use Blinkers as an excuse - his form before that makes him an automatic runner if fit - Running Brave for me should retire - She is clucking for the paddock - Shango does not warrant inclusion as he has not shown enough for me - Johnny Hero should be given a chance
