How many more reasons do we need to abandon SS racing given Adore Me was a 'safe' option from the stand.
There was discussion on the forum during the week about walk up/stand starts and the inconsistency. It's inconsistent for different horses in the same race. Some better behaved ones have stood still and walk up 2m before tapes release, some worse behave horses and/or clever drivers get a 5m walk up and are ready to get into a trot/pace before the horse that stood nicely and only got a 2m walk up.
Some horses do the walk up and get left half a length or more behind still.
P.S Adore Me backer here. But I've had this opinion well before that.
