With a sprint lane does the leader have to fight off all challenges??cant he fight a couple and then take the sit say 1200mt out..isnt that driving tactics and skill? and then use the sprint lane to his advantage?..just a scenario to consider.For me,I bet on the trots only,because Im passionet about them..a lot of my mates wont bet on the trots at all!! why?? they say you get boxed in and you cant get a run for your money!! Gallops win..Trots lose..the TAB reflects this.I understand that its not soley the previous mentioned and there are other variables but we need to do something.
