This is where it becomes very confusing with Stewart training both. Despite some good distance runs, I am not as convinced that Honolua can lead all the way. I have not properly researched how fast 1 & 2 are, I might do that tonight.
Overall I have say that it is a bit of a joke that Shadow is a chance purely because of his draw - one of the bad points about harness racing but it has always been that way.

The old poster's model I referred to earlier, made the 'heats' big races in themselves (and after Rnd1 they are tiered) and the Final only marginally better prizemoney - takes some 'luck of a single draw out of it' and potentially spreads the prizemoney around (attractive if a '24 slots funding model' was introduced)
