The 11 year old gordonian got going early, and just kept on going to well for the rest, great win for the Southland connections, goes to show, your never to old.

Yes, true. I see connections after the race said that they didnt see any difference on rails or out wide. 

Which was my main point, to see so may riders going wide.

The boy was told to be wide the first day.

Why, i thought they fixed drainage a few years back to make it level playing field. Yes a few came down outside, but most of winners came closer in. Still, didnt worry jockeys, they still went wide most of way, most gone a long wayfrom home.

Drainage..?      Don't get me started on that.  When I went to school water ran downhill.....but that's another story ..

To be honest, before they did half arsed job on home straight drainage, was a huge advantage out wide on a wet track. 

So sort of worked, as you never see a group of nags flashing out wide, usually just one that handles that soup shit.

There seems to be a proclivity in some of these track drainage projects to try and get it to do otherwise. About to try that here but from my limited engineering design skills and if the understanding about gravity hasn't changed since I went to school, I'm pretty sure that will require a pump. I'm putting one in anyway just to be on the safe side.
