Racing is completely different from age racing to grand circuit racing. Times can be similar but the way the race is run is so different and it never surprises me seeing these really nice young horses fresh out of age racing into very strong FFA feilds and there tunnel visioned ego driven drivers thinking they are going go get the front handed to them so they can run a 62 half and zip home. Doesnt happen. Grand circuit racing is run at a true tempo which sorts out the good ones from the REALLY good ones and maybe when your fresh into the big boys league it might be an idea to look after the horse and dip the toe in the water instead of going up thinking Jaccka Clive is going to hand the death up. Jaccka Clive would fight Smoken Up for the death and rightly so (massive show for the Hunter Cup Jaccka Clive).
