SA Stewards' Apprentices Initiative a Winner

Thoroughbred Racing SA Stewards have instigated a new initiative in the fluctuating fortunes of local apprentices.

Every Monday, Stewards will publish the minimum weight each South Australian apprentice rode at recent meetings.

Chairman of Stewards, Mr Graham Loch, said the information would be of benefit to all the industry.

"This has been introduced in an attempt to provide industry participants and punters with more up-to-date information than what has been previously available," Loch said.

"It will allow us to track apprentice weights and be in a position to ensure they are riding at the correct weight or to act against an apprentice who is not being responsible.

"It will also give owners, trainers and punters a better indicator as to what weight an apprentice is capable of riding."
