Newmarket Posted Thursday at 03:08 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:08 AM Wow, that track is crap. Nothing coming from back, makes Te Rapa look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB2.0 Posted Thursday at 03:56 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:56 AM Ashburton has always had a shocking front-running bias, but that seems to be a growing trend in NZ (Te Rapa, Tauranga) and just about every tight-turning track in the SI - including synthetics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmarket Posted Thursday at 08:02 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 08:02 AM 17 minutes ago, Mustang Kenny said: I didn't mind it 🤪 Yeah, good day for you, well done. But they used to win from the back, but hardly now. Seems a few jockeys got going early, very wide home turn, but they were left flat footed when leaders kicked. When the harness raced on it early 80s, they came from well back, as did gallops. From a betting point, not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a betting point, not for me. When the harness raced at Ashburton it was the old track, much bigger. Similar size to Riccarton I think. I saw hands Down win there one day early in his career. Well, saw the last 100 metres anyhow. The track was covered in fog. I suspect it was remodelled to the smaller circuit some time mid 80s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curious Posted Thursday at 09:40 AM Share Posted Thursday at 09:40 AM This possibly didn't help. Rail: Out 3 metres GENERAL The rail position was incorrectly advertised as being True Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB2.0 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Good to see the leaders continuing to win at Tauranga. Why jockeys are happy to sit out the back is beyond me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
