If they can run home the last 600m in a tick over 33 and the fastest part of that sectional is the last 400m why can't they break 1:10? Obviously the straight isn't soft is it? -
Race 5 Result . The PURE Steel for tough horses . and fittingly the tough NZer Triple Eight Wins . my pick for the race too as won it last year. He still has a kiwi part owner in Scott Plant too , who took him to Open class in NZ 6 or 7 years ago. TRIPLE EIGHT , the tough kiwi wins !!!!! for Brodie in the Comp too. Blackie zipped home for 3rd with kiwi bred Tango Tara , the other kiwi bred was 4th for Chief = Rock and Roll Doo. TABman had Luke drive a great race for him again to grab 6 points with 2nd placing 2 races in a row. and he takes the Lead ! off Chief. 1st 12 TRIPLE EIGHT GREG SUGARS BL - - 11.70 2.60 2nd 5 EXOTIC BUSHRANGER LUKE MCCARTHY FT - 1.50 3rd 13 TANGO TARA KATE GATH - 4.10 4th 11 ROCK N ROLL DOO ANTHONY BUTT CAPTAIN HAMMERHEAD unplaced for the Galah after an ordinary Moran drive in the death . Maybe should of dropped a foot or something ? POINTS after Race 5 TABman 24 points, Chief 22 pts, Brodster 20 points, Blackie 16pts, Gamma 12 pts , The Galah 4 pts. -

Yes I believe it does. The horses lose their confidence and a bit of speed. Takes them maybe 80m - 100m to pull it together and balance up. Those that are in the front have got a 3 length break and that half second is hard to make up with only 300m left. That's my theory anyway. It is worse when it rains as I reckon the track turf floats because it has been sliced and diced during the week with tynes. -
My reference to 'smashing' was focusing on the individual jockey in question who gets little slack from the stipes -
I am with the pair of you. Occasionally there is a runner winning from the back but I think they are a grade ahead of their opposition. Mostly it is starting to become that those further back, that look like they are going to charge by late; DO NOT. So has the unbalancing taken its toll late on the back runners?
