Oscar B Left Right Out?


Happy Sunrise

This will be insightful regarding how the handicapping works as I don't pay much attention.

Will Oscar B get a start even though it does not meet the conditions? 

And if it is given a start, will it get a 20m head start off the likes of Sundees Son? Is that fair when you don't meet the conditions of the race and there are enough starters anyway.

A real shame enhiegn hasn't come back very well this term.....but, that ex northern trotter matua Tana I'm picking to win some big races, went huge for 4th as a 2 win trotter in the open class at the mot ... when does your majestic man reappear globe?

Not sure where he will resume as yet. That decision is still to be made. He is trialing at Ashburton tomorrow.

I tell you what , that Matua Tana ,s run was huge at the Mot. Five lengths last at one stage ,still last on the turn and powered home for 4th running greenly. Big lump of a horse but boy can he run, smoked past Winterfell in the straight. I always maintained Winterfell had found his mark some time ago.  We are confident MM will have a very good season .

Despite the fact he's outside of the race conditions, he'd get into the field irrelevant because there isn't enough horses there to fill a field from those within the conditions. 

The fact that he is outside the conditions because his rating is not high enough is different to had he been outside the conditions because his rating is too high. 

If there had been 15 eligible nominations for the race and they all accepted then he would be on the ballot.

To me winterfell is the trotting equivalent of chase Auckland, I wouldn't be surprised to see both sold
