no,didn't see that race,but do remember seeing videos ofpreux chavaliar bowing his head as he ran around sometimes.There was one nz trainer who didn't put overchecks on his horses who trained a small team in nz not long after. Not sure,maybe tank ellis,although i may have the wrong name there. Emma stewarts horses are so well mannered,especially for young horses and most seem to have no overcheck like you say. personally, i've always thought the less gear the better.My thoughts may not be the norm,but they are what i think. i believe most don't need overchecks,although they seem to need them when they are learning.Just depends on the horse.I don't believe poles should be needed,but having said that i know the all stars loved putting them. I don't believe in hopple shorteners either. I've found the first 20m you may be a 1m slower,but your horse will accelerate quicker after 30-40m and that will be more of an advantage.Definetly don't believe in prickers.I do believe in using ear plugs. Hoods i know work,but you should be able to get a change in mindset through alternative training. boots i believe every time.anyways,thats my thoughts about gear. -
A great days racing but Trackside are not doing serious punters any favours as to how they show or perhaps better said, do not show preliminaries.
