Careful - Frontline stand only 8 at Addington!

[Brodie]

For those punting at Addington on Easter Monday - The standing starts have a frontline of only 8, rather than the normal 10!

maybe they saw that the GALAH requested more room for the horses behind the tapes ?   to get away cleanly ?

Well done Mr Galah 🏆  you helped them see the light. The Galah said they were packing them a little tight in a post recently , which was a top observation. (happens a lot in the NZ Cup even) 

'Beach Ball' got away ok yesterday , as did all the field ( bar one runner from the pole)  in the 'fast class' standing start at Addington Easter Saturday. 

I was terrified my Bet of the Day 'Harrison John' would miss away , but the starter did a great job getting them lined up, and on the journey. 

BUT please use the mobile MET club. it is waaay way better,  and easier on the punter and driver lol. 😆

The 8 across the front is only for this one meeting.

Been done due to Mot only having 8 across the front for stands.

3 more late scratchings yesterday.

No room for tk megatsr to fit into its place on the front line.

Mind you the other 2 were a result of b hope starting  about 5 horses wider on the unruly than the horse that drew inside him.That was a bit odd.. he got a $400 fine.

Do horses late scratched still get the appearance money and still drop back in the rating system if late scratched?

Thats the normal for Addington track.

They are running with the front line as if it was being run at the Mot.

Rest assured it is only 8 across the front for the stands.
