Chris Alford is a brilliant driver, more evidence with a treble at Shep tonight
BUT why would he position $2.50 Eq Fav Cracker Jet 3Fence in a 7 horse field? in the last
It may have 'only' been a $10k race for the 3yo with a big future but all of his 4 wins from his previous 7 starts were all only $7k races

I just watched it again and CA always had eyes for the 3F position with the Lilley stablemate of the co-fav and winner always there to keep him on the fence. Add to this the fact that CA is normally a first choice driver for Lilley trotters. Why has Josh Aiken lost the gig on Cracker Jet.
Maybe I am too suspicious but IMO things not only have to be on the up and up but they have to look like they are on the up and up
