      Race field sizes? Cambridge?

      haven't you just used words to imply they mean the same,when they may not. In other words ,"trying"  or not,is  often not the same as "didn't give horse best chance of winning". you can be trying and at the same time get suspended for not giving the horse the best chance to win.That has happened quite a few times when the stipes have deemed drivers have overdone the speed or tactics used. but when was the last time you heard of a driver getting suspended when they drove in a negative way.That type of driving is not policed the same.  i haven't suggested either driver at cambridge should have been suspended,but if i was a stipe on the night i would have asked the question of k coppins as you have to let drivers know that theres an expectation that they give the impression they are trying to drive their horse on its merits.As i have said before,complacency by the stiipes leads to the things that start the likes of operation inca.Stipes in the north isalnd give the impression they treat some paticipants like they are mates or family.

      Only on the coast, a patient ride, remember backing another of Mr Fuges horses called all ginga, never went any any good at greymouth reefton or kumara, was certainly losing faith when she lined up at hokitika, 4th start in a short circuit, I thought couldn't win, after many dubious thoughts and how horses make a fool of you, stuck with the ship, ran very wide on the post corner, then hunted up for the front,  lead and won, 32s, oh the memories, just that these days, thanks for the replay, any our your favorites from that era, or good horses to race there you remember,  or any from other readers.

      Interesting 12 races I think on Friday, at Addington, why not same at Auckland and no Thursday.? In regards to trying, I always thought drivers were suspended if they didn't give horses best chance of winning.

      so i expressed an opnion that claude and rough and ready were driven in a manner that indicated they weren't trying to win,even though one was favorite and the other the major win mover. welll lets see how they get driven this week in a race where they can get a penalty free win. In other words,the connections knew if they won last week they would  either become ineligible or get worse draws or both,for the race they want to win this week. coincidence or not? Do people think like that.i think they do.
