Peter if you were the professional from student you claim to be you would know the 3rd quarter at Newcastle is run virtually in a straight line with minimal turns involved, the track lends itself therefore, to many drivers allowing their horse to slip along a bit quicker than is ideal and hence start to get a bit more tired than ideal at around ther 300 mark, which is usually an ideal spot to get out from behind the leader....I know this not from picking grapes our pretending to myself that I know racing...I know this because I have driven a few winners at Newcastle and many of those coming off the leaders back.
This characteristic of the track also enables horses further back to improve their position in the 3rd quarter with less effort than at a lot of other circuits, again making it more difficult to get off the leaders back at the right time.
I have no idea how long you have been an "expert" on harness form, but you might need to do a bit more homework on your assessment of racing at Newcastle, funny you didn't mention how wrong I was about you never having been in a bike or any of the other points I mentioned about why Kylie might not have handed up.
Some punters and form students get a bit peeved when a race doesn't pan out the way they see it and get upset, people who have sat in the bike and done it a few times come to the understanding that it's a race and the plan A you had can quickly turn to plan B ....plan C or.... bugger it we'll just have to wing it, ask a few drivers if I'm wrong here, thats if you know any.
