if you watched the event and didnt know how they were scoring anybody in their right mind would have said the internationals won hands down as they made our jockeys look poor.ridiculous points scoring system

We should have a KZN vs GTG vs Rest of the country challenge.

Eish... horses were graded from strong to poor and grouped. Then allocated equally amongst jocks. Not opinion, MR and form was used by a panel of at least 6 racing experts. The horses were graded before the jocks were confirmed. In fact the poorest horses were placed as reserves, so SA were technically on the backfoot considering 3 of their stronger horses were scratched and replaced with weaker horses. Anton himself stated that he had some of the worst horses.

Pretty much what I was getting at
