Two drivers complained about it. It seems that the problem is the wind blew the cut grass cover off it and or the other reason given was that it was very dry and dusty. Hence the have a kids plastic watering can putting some water on it!
Well you know my views on too much head gear. The best one's don't need it. The more you put on them they more they need to trust their driver.
looks like 3 of the 10 trotters in race 2 galloped going across it soon after the start of R2 . Not a great result .
All the drivers looked like they were approaching BECHER'S BROOK Chief . 🤣😂 nervous times for all lol.
Why ? they just had race 1 and nothing happened . ( they all got over it without galloping)
It does look like a quick rise and fall as you go across it though.
This might not suit the trotters , where balance is important. So maybe you'll see something gallop at it in Race 2 shortly ?
Don't know about soft ?? not a great description ? more likely use that for POMMIE Batsmen at the Ashes lol 😂
but the harness horses generally race with their heads up a lot Higher than thoroughbreds Chief. Just so they can keep their pacing or trotting gait at high speed. But they are prone to spotting things out the corner of their eyes accordingly rather annoyingly at times. so > Hence the common use of blinds and shadow rolls and all sorts of head gear to keep them concentrating.
