Timing of JL Raith NSW Oaks & Derby

Date:
By Superjo

With the change of season and the timing of the major state futurity series Breeders Challenge, Vicbred & Breeders Crown now October/November do we need to look at changing the timing of The J L Raith Memorial - now late January and Oaks & Derby heats commencing February? 

Does the timing of these races allow 2yo horses any time for a freshen up or spell following the Challenge & Vicbred series? With animal welfare at the forefront in modern times are we allowing these horses enough time to recover from a major race series before competing in the next major race? Would they be better placed after the Bathurst Carnival or later in the season in line with Vic and prior to Breeders Challenge
