They say they dont have enough money to adequately test but they add silly things to the list of things to test for?

I agree with what you are saying but what do you do about the handful of trainers (Moquett) who consistently enter and scratch (many times entering multiple to get the race to go then scratch). I know this is not the "spirit" of the scratch but he really shops for races.
