Thanks for that Chief 👍🏆. got a tingle up the spine watching that . Next time pop the whip in the left hand even better lol That was a Group 2 race worth about 50k from Nov 2022. Nathan Dawson the winning driver. He drove in the recent World driving Championship here too. and is very good. The thing that gets me most in a race (any race) is how fast it flashes by when you are competing. The 2 minutes of the race seems like just 30 seconds when you're out there as everything is in FAST MOTION. flat out Go to Woah. you barely have time to make a decision of any kind. Just go with the flow. It's like rafting rapids 😅 *** Notice Nathan was going to go for the passing lane from 3 back on fence as they turned for home , BUT didn't even have Time to do that 😂. He came through between the 2 up front instead, which is not usually available. What a great sport horse racing is. one of the only ones where you have pairs of great athletes working together to not only run fast as you can, but beat up on others trying to do the same thing at the same time !! amazing stuff !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go with the flow. It's like rafting rapids 😅 A really good horse that is tractable will buy you time. One thing I noticed and it bought back memories was watching the boots in the foot rest. There isn't a lot to grip is there and if you are a bit short it is even harder. Are the foot rests adjustable? The other thing I noticed with the foot rest is if the distance to it is too long then it is difficult to hold the reins properly as I was taught to do. That is further up than in the video. You have no control over a horse if your elbows are bent and your hands are on your chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the speedo Geez you can't read a race can you? He was lucky the horse outside him faded as well as running out under pressure. The Driver then skilfully drove through the gap using a combination of whip and rein. Notice the whip use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
