    Ladies In Red was brilliant, the 10 draw did not work out that bad as she land 1x 2 before taking the death
    They are talking about whether she would even have been competitive in tonight's Vic Cup
    (If Act Now drew front - he definitely would be)

    Nathan Purdon sounds identical to dad Mark LOL

    Great run by Max. Good draw, good drive, great training effort (missing a week was definitely no disadvantage)
    He loved the pace - less than a second off the Tk Rec
    Maybe we sold Max short - winner of 20 races and nearly $500k

    A super finish to the Bill Collins!

    A Tk Rec and had to be on the pace again (understandably for 1650m)

    It doesn't seem right that it is only a $50k Gp1 - the gallops race for that midweek, our stables deserve greater reward for their effort

    Gareth Halls interview of Matty Craven compared to JB's lack of subtlety confirms who I would choose for host
    Maybe we need a third host rotating onto the desk - my god we hear so much of Bon by the end of these nights

    I rarely watch Trots Vision but did for the big races tonight. I concur Kev, Gareth Hall conducts himself professionally whereas Mr Bonnington strikes me as too matey. We need to raise the image of the business and the host comes across like a bit of a bogan.

    We're in trouble if the best alternative is a bloke who cat even get the name of the Vic Cup winner right. Went with Malcolms Delight 3 times...

    Disagree a bit but all in all in all dont think Bonno does too bad. Everybody will have their downfalls.

    Ladies Im Red does as expected. Just far too good for them


    Act Now fantastic. Bondi Lockdown would be good to see drawn well in a big one

    Pink Galahs showed how dangerous she can be with the right run


    King of Swings run just about his most impressive over the last few yrs I thought the way he had to do it hard in quick time. Showed the difference between Grand Circuit star and grand circuit contender with Amazing Dream. The first two did well to run him down but had the luxury of nice runs.

That is not what racing is about.

    I can handle being dudded by RBD in heat. I can't handle by that being dudded in the heat can in turn have severe repercussions.

    Your system has so many negative consequences. Purely because Blitzern drew two he just beat American Dealer and Bondi Lockdown (who copped some whitewash after a horse broke). That opens door for Major Moth to draw good and also only have the lower rated Blitzern draw good alongside him. How is that fair to American Dealer and Bondi Lockdown? RBD is not perfect but it sure beats a system so easily open to throwing up unfair results. Its like how the more the AFL tinker with the rules the more unintended consequences there are.
    BUMP

    Hey Brenno, I was reminded of this discussion when I read about New formula used for Meadowlands Pace final post position draw

    https://ustrottingnews.com/new-formu...position-draw/

    It is an attempt to make the heats more competitive without necessarily making the winners morals in the final
