Scott, whats your opinion on this bit, "In the post race interview on track following his win on Will Trapper (who he said he drove to that trainers instructions even though he thought not right)" Will Trappers Trainer obviously got it right, he crapped all over Sundons Gift and is now Australias best trotter at the moment...imo!!! Great run trainers instructions 100% correct...

Neither. BIG Courageous Annie fan and hate to see good horses lose due to incompetence.
I did back Will Trapper and he is going brilliantly! I think Nathan follows Trainers instructions, good and bad, because he has no bloody idea about tactics himself.
Gday Scott. Firstly, I don't know Nathan Jack personally. But he told everyone of his intentions pre-race and if he hands up to Courageous Annie this forum would have been flooded with complaints about him again. I reckon Courageous Annie goes round like she did and sits outside him instead of attacking for lead she wins easy. But thats just my opinion and we all entitled to them.
By the way, the drive of Scott Dyer on Tara Royale to win the race was a 10 out of 10. Perfectly judged as was N. Jacks drive on Will Trapper.
Fair enough. It's his decision to hold the lead that I'm questioning regardless of him giving prior notice.
Hi Guys
Was really looking forward to the 2 Graham horses run at Melton Friday night (Lanercost and Courageous Annie) as they both have incredible records racing against their own age, and are terrific horses, but both have led in the vast majority of their career starts, and that wasn't going to be the case Fri night.
Was always going to be interesting to see what would happen if either or both had to come from back in the field. Not that they couldn't be successful with that style of racing, but they simply didn't have to racing against their own age group, as they were so far superior they couldd dominate and dictate the terms of most races .
With regards to Nathan Jack - If he simply hands up the lead to Courageous Annie on LIP they're running for 2nd place, if they burn to keep her out then they obviously compromise their own chances. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Either way both Graham horses are top class and will bounce back no doubt, but racing against open company they'll need to add another string to their bow. With their high speed as a fan of the sport I'd love to see them driven sit sprint style to see how they'd adapt.
Cheers.
Any results re the original race regarding the Jacks?
Still waiting how long does it take
this inquiry will resume next Monday as all information has been received and analysed.
