I was at work when he ran so could only listen to it. In the call he said that they'd gone 27.1 in the first and then at the end called a mile rate of 1:59 which was disappointing. My brother rang me later and told what time they'd run, I was blown away.
That was his 5th run at Goulburn for a couple of 2nds, a couple of 4ths and then yesterday. Taking in to account how far he was beaten, I reckon he's rated about a second and a half quicker than he's run there before. It was his second run back from about a 4 and a half month break so we're hoping with a bit of racing fitness he can have a good season again.
