The one I uploaded which is the same race you started the post about. It wasn't horse 11 that was overracing. It was horse 2 that was and it finished 2nd. Horse 11 couldn't go with it. He lost 10 lengths because he couldn't go quick enough. You were looking at the wrong horse! -

Google Jamie Searle Invercargill. His workmate Logan Savoury had a very good 'story' /tribute about Jamie in the Southland Tribune last week. -
Interesting race actually. The jockey had two options, the option he took didn't work as he has no momentum coming into the straight. We will never know if option two, getting the horse rolling from the 600m, might have worked or not. If he had tried option two and got run down, people would have complained about him going too early. Option two always looks impressive when it comes off. -
dont know what race you watched chief. he was cruising in the 1/1 ,behind a horse that was not taking him into the race,then he let a horse move up outside him and box him in at the 500m ,which given he was over racing looked rather stupid,then he didn't know whether to follow the one that he had been following that was gong nowhere or follow the one that had improved ouside him going nowhere,then he overracesd as he had to restrain it to stop it getting on the heels,then got out with 200m to run,having lost 10 lengths on the winner in just 200m. Obviously he has never been taught about the forward momentumfactor on a heavy track,or the trainer had no confidence in his abilty and chose to give him instructions and because he wanted to ride to instructions,he did what he did. personally i've noticed that stable seems to get their apprentice jockeys to keep something up the sleeve for a last dab. Thats all well and good if they are in the first 2 0r 3 but personally think that is part of the reason that stable had such a long losing streak recently.At least when they put k williams on she thinks for herself. In my opinion. -
And Waterlea is not a good winter track. Meanwhile Timaru and Oamaru sit virtually unused, not to mention Waimate, Rangiora and Motukarara, although to be honest, Motukarara is not a good winter track either.
