Its not an awful move in an experimental sense as it will be a tick over 200m to the winning post plus approximately another 50m to the bend where before it was a tick over 110m to the winning post
it would be good to see more horses storming home from the back at ashburton but i am not convinced this will do that. hopefully i am wrong
while we are mentioning ashburton it is interesting to note that back in 1991 at the 2 day queens birthday meeting the average stake for c0, c1 and c2 races was $5304
