There are 10 invited drivers for Invitational Drivers Championship at Horsham on Monday so why include R3 in the championship when there are only 6 horses
I can guess that it was advertised as Ratings Exempt and if they deemed 6 horses enough for the race to go ahead they had to honour the ratings exemption But to a statistics buff, 10 into 6 doesn't go

I can see why the race had to hold up - for the President's horse to win ;)
see more on the winner in the Family Ties/Well Related thread

Rigthio Nathan what are you up to?
Is this a bucket list thing?
Telemachus in the feature Melton Plate on Saturday night
Tele on NR48 is the equal lowest rated horse going around on the night - the other two are 3yo trotting maidens
Good luck to you

If I was Geoff Webster, I might be a bit surprised. A mere month ago Stingray Tara was in his stable but left for Jason Grimson's barn. Last week he won at Menangle in his best time of 1.53.8 - quite plausible going on narrow defeats at Bendigo and Geelong last year which would have seen him rate < 1.55 and we know Menangle is faster. Then last night he comes out and rates 1.50.8, albeit with a dream run but still 1.50.8

Ben Yole has really got PP's knickers in a knot after the last at Echuca last night - he is wanting Life for everyone (even suggesting the draws were rigged LOL)
There is an INQADJ so the stewards are asking 'Please Explain'
How the stablemate ran up the track in the back straight to let the well supported favourite through
The crazy thing is that they did not need to do it as they could have waited until the sprint lane for the leader hung on for second

2 days later the same horses go around in the last at Kilmore with a third Yole horse
Robert Walters led on Machavelli again but Border Cross was obviously supposed to win again as it was $1.40
Plus I think Walters long look around about 50m from the post was to see where the fav had got to as I think he already knew that nothing was going to take second off him

What is the point of having pegs determining the course
Have a look at the last 400m of Michael Stanley's drive on Iolanta in R4 at Melton tonight
He went a mile inside at least a couple of pegs to get 3rd
