Leigh's horse Savesometimetodream copped a QDT . I notice there was also a COT - what were the stewards expecting from Jodi after starting from Sr2 ?
It was a big run Leigh - being forced to sit 3w for the 56 last half and only the horses on the pegs beat him
COT to be more aggressive. Lance threw the anchor out but she was none the wiser. Horses just aren't traveling for her like they once did.
Wasn't who was in the Death a problem Bob?
I agree but they announced the COT and she should of been on her bike much sooner. Lance was holding the front and she's taken 1 x 1 cover on Asoka recently up in class.
Not a lot happening tactics wise down there. Nothing moves until they're in for the bell and that was exactly the case here.
I really think she wanted to but with Asoka staying wide until he found the death and unlikely to hand up - what was she to do from Sr2 settling in the 10 spot. I guess you mean they should have taken off and seen if Asoka might get the lead and them the death?
Perhaps easing 3W at the bell was their COT ? Which was being more aggressive than the two previous runs.Quote:

Was the going better on the pegs last Friday?
19 of the 24 placings came from the 1,3 or 5 posn
This is a bit over the average but it could be a natural variance
She went 3 pegs last night when the 1x1 presented itself early on. 1x2 following KC and Punt. The way the race panned out, if driven positively he finishes ITM and gives that winner a fright IMO.
Paul Rowse needs to get the hook out and find himself a driver. That horse is flying but she's not up to the task.
Guaranteed driven and winning like a horse a class above them but how was the run from The Majority - Brian Gath could not hold him.
This half bro of Falcons Blue Jean could prove a handful for the opposition this season
