The distance and the format are probably never going to be the ideal for a speed machine like Hector

The time difference between the Consolation and the Final was totally due to the Lead Time and Run Oneover pulling although if that had not been the case there may have been more moves

ps A big race at 12.30am AEST does next to nothing for the advancement of the sport (anywhere except WA)
Totally agree on your feeling about "the advancement of the sport (anywhere except WA)"
But its typical of the state and its detachment from the East, thinks its its own Country.
Sadly for the Trots world, fans, owners, trainers, drivers etc in Eastern states and all of NZ that WA Trots put ZERO care into the race being so late in 80% of the trots world timezones.
Selfish, uncaring, ignorant in my opinion, if i may have one!
The race belongs to us-the followers the fans the community and its special-its not owned by WA
