yeah,i had a look at the replay and of the 3 gallopers,one was galloping 50m before hand,another the horse was in front but not concentrating well before the crossing and galloped a couple of strides before the crossing and then the 3rd galloper seemed to resent being restrained when having to change ground so galloped.
the horse in front on the inside kept trotting but wanted to run out bad before and after the crossing so it wasn't th crossing.
what about the person who put $5000 on my bonnie lass to win on the ff.
It was the horse that galloped early but really settled close enough,but n williamson simply sat far too long before he asked it to go over the last 300m,just coming up short.
Really it lookied like it was being given more an educational type run,so imagine having $5000on and watching that race.They would have been cursing to themselevs a tad.
funny you should say that , as was thinking John Dunn races a lot of trotters . Had the very best in Sundee's Son in recent times.
But nearly all of his can fly to piece's any old tick of the clock as well . not just at Addington but grass and country racing too. He has as many gallopers as any other trotting trainer so not sure the Woodend Beach is your complete answer to the problem at all.
HOPE's team train there too , and don't have as many gallopers , and are trotting specialists , so there is the chance that Beach training is of some help as you say. Habibti Pat a bit erratic at times , but great Win in the trotting Derby recently. They're quite a fickle beast to train the old trotters.
There are some interesting issues in this closure. Pokie and Casino cross-subsidisation of racing. A land claim by local native american tribes (or first nation peoples as we are supposed to describe them nowadays).
