    +2 theres no chance in hell Chilli is a death horse and as if the death horse would let him to the chair anyway, good decision Gavin

    The No's have it. The long and the short of it is that Chilli should never start favourite in a race as without a strong pace early he is never going to be able to finish over the top of them - Right?

    I think that's exactly right Kev, I like the horse but just could not back him at any odds with confidence with his racing style, A fast pace is a must for him and should never have been the Favourite. Pretty sure that he will prove me wrong on the odd occasion though but it's risky backing him.

    So I am guessing everyone thinks that Chris Alford had no alternative but to just sit there in the 1x1 on the $1.40 fav when the leader walked a 35.6Q in the 2nd Vicbred at Ballarat tonight

    Chris got caught napping big time Kev, Certainly misjudged the slow tempo and should have been off a lot earlier, Didn't notice anything to indicate that he was hauled in but definitley should have been.

    I am not a big fan of driver's having to notify stewards of driving tactics BUT I am a big fan of stewards expecting drivers to give a horse the best possible chance of winning
    In the last at Ballarat tonight, I see following out the leader on a track that has no sprint lane as a risky tactic when you are driving the best horse in the race - especially when you are the only horse on the 2nd line and had options

    My Kiwi Mate's first Oz run was considered spectacular because he had to come from so far back after breaking early
    An inquiry was adjourned as to why he broke but why doesn't the Stewards Report (Kilmore 29/4) contain any information about the cause - surely there must have been some questioning etc before it was decided to adjourn it.
    As usual we will be hard pressed to hear the wash up of this for despite requests to improve communication by posting the results of adjourned inquiries in Stewards wrap (see first 2 pages of this thread)

    Weird abbreviated Stewards Comments at Gloucester Park - instead of abbreviating the death as 2 they abbreviate it as L1W - RIDICULOUS in my book

    The form guide says that Senor Macray is ODM after his one and only start - is there a way that can be overruled without him racing as he is drawn 2 at his second start tonight

    He would need to trial satisfactorily twice Kev but it could be put back in draw without racing.
