Ch2 ODDS AND ENDS - not big enough for a thread of their own

[Toohard]

The splits suggest a serious headwind in the home straight at Cranbourne today
In every race the 3rd Q was faster than the 4th Q
The average Q4 was over 30 secs

Considering the conditions it was a top effort by Commander Buzz who never had any cover throughout the race and ran 1.55.6 (a Betting Line doing well)

Back straight at Cranbourne 'downhill'. Front straight 'uphill'. Maybe explain times?

You're definitely right Paul.
I looked at their 2 previous meetings and the same pattern, 12 races out of 14 saw a quicker Q3 than Q4
It must be some slope
I haven't been to Cranbourne for nearly 50yrs but I have a faint recollection of looking down the home straight now that I think about it
