Oamaru has always been leader biased. Reefton is another one. Slightly more entertaining if it is wet. Motukarara with a bit of sting out of the track and they can win from anywhere and pay anything. -
As I've said above, the point is to confirm the track condition at that stage of the day. -

Seems Sth Island grass racing tracks are dominated by those up front, regardless how big the tracks are, i remember 30 or 40 years ago, more where winning from further back, especially at the bigger tracks like motukarara & Methven. Whats the reasons? 1, Drivers rating races far better, although looking at times, not setting records each week. 2, Tracks are now set up differently, grass seems a heap longer nowadays, horses seem to struggle to get through, soft or form. 3, Less lead changes, too many relatives and mates dictate races. What other reasons, i used to love grass track racing, but the leaders bias is annoying, one reason i liked the grass was most had a chance, but not anymore. -
Nothing simple these days, poor top weight lump 60kg, most of the rest 53kg, even Trav who had won an Auckland cup, interesting fact, I'm sure he won a race at greymouth couple years back.
