    The old PP is asking big questions about R3 at Globe Derby last night
    and you can see why he might be
    The favourite led as it said it would with the heavily backed Cavalryman on his back
    Gaita Pullicino attacked the fav mercilessly throughout but as big a worry for me was the fact that the 1x1 horse was never asked for an effort by Samantha Pascoe and Cavalryman was always going to be able to get off the leaders back before the sprint lane even

    Jayden Brewin is gaining notoriety for all the wrong reasons and some are suggesting his recent 3 week suspension should have been classed as race fixing
    I am going to class it as careless for the following reasons - the 8 horse who benefited from his wayward drive was always going to get the back of the favourite (1) and eventually the sprint lane so you would think needing the lead was not imperative
    The way JB's head turns as if surprised to see the 8 splitting him and the leader
    We are talking about the start of Race 3 below with JB driving the 2 horse

    Could Leigh Sutton on Blue Chip Delight have protested against the winner at Melton last night?
    Bailey McDonough was suspended - I assume for taking the spot behind the leader when there was insufficient room
    It would have been a totally different race - I reckon it would have been successful at the Meadowlands

    I have read a suggestion that Jack Laugher's drive on $1.25 fav Captain Bellasario left a lot to be desired
    Their point is that he could have got off the pegs before the straight
    I was also surprised at his lack of urgency when the sprint lane came up
    Take a look for yourself

    Agree, disinterested drive that did not appear to display any great sense of urgency even when the sprint lane opened up. And, with the leader so obviously displaying signs of defeat before the turn, no interest was shown in putting the horse into gaps you could park a truck in.

    It will be interesting to read what the stewards says about Rocknroll Rod being declared a non runner in R1 last night, I am thinking it is something the starter should have picked up as we all saw that he had his head over the gate at the start

    The ol PP is asking questions about R1 at Terang last night
    Such as:
    What was Alex Ashwood doing going that fast on the leader who has not got those times in its record
    How did James Herbertson's horse run into the back of the fav
    You would hope the Stewards Report might ask and have some answers
    The Hargreaves horse was backed for plenty and 2nd up won very easily

    No answers for the above in the Stewards Report

    http://www.harness.org.au/racing/ste...l/?mc=TE091121

    Why would the stewards consider the leader ran poorly when he has never run those times before?

    18mths for failing a pre-race blood test with the winning favourite

    He got into trouble for the same thing with the same horse 3yrs ago and only got a fine
