From the NHRA AGM
Mr Napier raised a query on the Winning Favourites percentage emanating from the Vaal Racecourse, which were half of the winning favourites of any other racecourse, namely
16.53%. He said we all hope to achieve at least one third of all winning favourites,but the Vaal,for some reason or other,seems to be very low.The Chief Executive explained to Mr Napier the various factors that could influence these results. The plated,pinnacle and condition races, together with feature races, are mostly staged at the Vaal Racecourse. Handicap races are mainly staged at the Vaal at the lower end. A handicap race is obviously a race in which any of the participants have an equal chance of winning at most times. In saying that,he concurs that the statistics are low,but it is beyond our control. The Chief Executive ensured the members that the integrity of the races run there are above board.Mr Napier said that obviously this would appear to be the answer, but when you look at Kimberley, it ended up a lot higher and you would expect Kimberley to be quite a lot lower. Kimberley is 28,3%,so again the Vaal figure just looks low.
