Why do they race 1700 metres at Ashburton?

Does anyone at all enjoy the 1700 metre racing at Ashburton?

To Brodie it is just so damn boring, and to run group racing over it is farcical!

Nothing out the back has any chance, as the front runners dominate and home turn not banked enough.

These races are just a yawn fest and that sort of racing is not going to entice people to go on course or wager !

There is no way on earth that the race stakes  are being covered by wagering!

A Purdon horse not winning or featuring  in the Sapling Stakes, who wouldve thought that??

Yes wasn't going to have a bet as I thought Hadron Collider would just lead and win in the 3yo race, until I saw the money drift and a ton of money come for the stablemate. I knew then they were not going forward at the start with Hadron and he couldn't win coming from the back so had a wee nibble on Harrison John.  Stable had that one worked out well before hand 😂
