Bush won't benefit

Racing NSW has recently trumpeted the massive prizemoney increases to some major country cups, some $200,000 and some $150,000. 
Does anybody really think that a country trainer will win one of these cups? Not a snowflake’s chance in hell! 
Of course all the city boys will be out in force. You’d be lucky to see a country-trained horse in the race, let alone a genuine chance to win it. 
The $50.000 “country only” races on these cup days are a great idea and will give the bush boys a chance to race for good prizemoney. 
Otherwise, all the changes will do is to fatten the wallets of the city boys.
