the galah Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Why is it you see horses who start off the ur starting from 50 and 60m behind the field? Race 2 tonight you had 3 horses start so far back they had no chance. Is that the drivers or the starters fault? Its not the first time. If its so important for the stipes to penalise drivers in mobiles if they are even half a length behind,why not the stands when they are 60m behind where they are supposed to be? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite astonishing ! seemed the 'unruly' three didn't want to be anywhere near any other runners. Must be so they don't get too anxious being close to them ?? so were way back as the tapes released and almost out of contention as you say . (unless can trot 4-5 seconds quicker than leaders over that distance ) Standing starts are just such a bad betting medium anyway with the risk, but that takes the cake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 You do see it often from the stands, inconsistency. Often you also see the front markers standing and the unruly in a jog up! Yep, standing starts are just take your chances as they say! Why bother? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
