The punishment was harsh and he looked hard done by to me. When was the last time a jockey was fined $4K here? -
Trainers do not rock the boat. They do get pissed off but have to work gently to get any traction. Think of it as if you were working for a company/corporation, how long would you last if you were continually saying 'the strategic overview and tactics are beyond flawed. Owners heavily invested in the industry work with their trainers to maximise opportunity based on this seasons calendar. That then leaves us with who? to challenge the muppets, appointed by past muppets, who produce the calendar. -

I thought part of the Entain/Government deal meant relinquishing the pokie money. Maybe that's changed. -
Theres a pattern to virtually 80% of standing starts. And that pattern is the horse/horses who are back a length or two are the ones very ikely to be slow away and consequently get back in the field,effectively diminishing their chances.That 1 length behind at the start can quickly turn into 10 lengths off the leader after 150m. And when the starter is letting them go almost as soon as the last horse turns around,then its going to be the last horse that turns into line that is unlikely to get a fair start, compared with others. And who is the last horse to turn into line,well its the horse drawn in the middle,in other words the last horse to turn in from the 2nd of the 2 circles that turn into line .(The front line being split into two circles pre race). Theres the occasional exception to the that,mostly when the field does not have a full front line, giving more room, or if the start is delayed,giving more time. Its become so obvious that i now factor that in when making my selections. In particular some drivers are nearly always are in the last couple after 20m if they draw the middle. in some ways you can't blame them too much as its a little unreasonable to expect horses to begin at speed when the horses,as well as the driver,know they have other horses in a starting position to crowd or cross their line due to those horses advantagous pre start circle formation position. Theres only 2 or 3 drivers who can be relied on to have their horses who draw in the middle,in a favorable position as the tape is released,possibly thats becuase the starter may give those couple of drivers more time to come forward ,or simply those couple of drivers are just more on the ball.
