Davis Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 What a weak effort from favourite Leaf Stride. Disappointing run. Is this horse overrated? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a young trotter who has only had a few starts and they all seem to be of a similar ability so will make interesting racing in the future.

Not so sure. i think others will improve more than him, Paul Nairn's horse definitely will. The Leaf will be headed to Australian soon I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Probably just an off night for him,and on what he's done in his first 2 starts/wins i'd wait before i wrote him off. And yea it wouldn't surprise me if at some stage he ended up with Ants(Butt) as he is the main trainer for his owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia will be easier for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the galah Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm agree with happy's assessment. There is not much between 5 or 6 of them at the moment. Leaf stride had to work harder to reach the lead in his latest race,then maintained the lead whereas the week before he had trailed after not burning as hard early. Personally i thought he went just as good as he had the week before. In my opinion he was only disappointing if you were expecting more than he had shown so far. Having said that everyone has different opinions on every horse/driver/trainer. Who's to say anyone's wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
