I agree with this claiming system and moving them on rather than running 0-65s for €10,000,. He's in the sales and people can buy him here, he's good value at €20,000. We've got a winner on the board, the negative is that it's not for Colin, but that's life. The positive is that the kid is after losing his 10lb claim. He's a good kid. I said to him the ambition was to try and lose the 10lb and give him plenty of experience and he's had that. The horse has done his job but he's not good enough for that owner and that's what these races are for. We are winning them and supporting them and we're getting horses moved. I couldn't speak highly enough of the system. The stigma about them is gone and trainers have accepted them. We need more of them. Lads are giving out about getting balloted out in 0-65s and maybe if we had more of these races it would serve a lot of different purposes. G M Lyons, trainer
