I thought it would be a good idea to acknowledge a skilful (or lucky) drive of the week! (Monday to Sunday). Anybody want to put forward a suggestion to kick things off! If you are a driver, even better!

Tell me what u think
Luv it!...........Drove too good early to get behind the lead, then got shuffled back 2F to 4F, off fence 600, 3 & 4 wide late........perfect drive! You would nearly have torn your ticket up at the bell!

Thought the drive on the 2nd horse in this was sensational, T Buchanan, I've got it all.
Take your point, he could see the sit horse was getting tired, and instead of going 3 wide, elected to switch back to the fence, and take it's position.......probably still would have ran 2nd pushing/waiting to go 3 wide at the turn! But to see the run back on the fence was perceptive!
What about Matt Craven last night at Bendigo, Race 5 to bring Znana a Peter Manning trained horse from well back in the field in a scorching 1:55:7.

Top drive, Buried back in the field and had a lot of traffic to get through and got the chocolates.Quote:

As Kev pointed out in another post, that equalled the track record, before it was broken later in the night!
Interesting one Noel. I am not sure how much he made it happen or how much it fell his way.
One thing I do know, is that Znana likes a hot pace (esp in November?)
It was this time last year that as a 3yo she set the Horsham Track Record. I was there when she sat on the cracking speed set by her more favoured stablemate and finished over the top of him
Your not suggesting a MM run are you?
