Had handy type called Big Idea in the 80s. His daughter Marie Price , didn’t she have good trotter So Long Eden? Thought she trained and drove it early on, but I could be wrong
Surely horses in other stalls would have tried a little harder when time to race ?.
Not saying I don’t believe this, but I’m hoping it’s just in your imagination and you’ve recently been watching some trashy horse horror
How many members now chief. You can use same formula as rc if you want. Add up all members, multiply by 1000, then reduce by 20%. Good enough for them, good enough for us
Ohokaman should have stayed here, he would of loved it. Now he’s trying to score a comp, it’s a bloody disaster. BB, short for best bet bud.

A horse pulling extra weight from a standing start would be a disadvantage , but once going at speed, in some ways extra weight is an advantage on hard surface.
Try stopping trailer when attaching to tow ball, loaded & unloaded.

Thought I had read the same Double R. Pretty sure some brainy but bored professor came up with some sort of info.
I always thought the lighter the better too, but maybe not the case
Brodie,
Frees Best, Hondos Away, Best dream , never won a race with any other driver than Cowie, so Brodie might not be on the money on that one ?.
Also trained Kahuna Pele later on, he drive that in all his wins when he trained it
This has been mentioned before. I thought that on a grit track, little difference between heavy and light drivers.
Thought Eddie had good record driving, in fact can’t remember others driving the horses you mentioned , apart from junior drivers etc
Ive not looked at trainers record last 12 months, but trainer stated he had a horror year, so I assume he battled a bit?
Would it alter my betting if I knew virus in stable, most likely.
