Firstly, yes I had a little bit on him the place.
Secondly, it was only a little bit because I believed the favourite was a false favourite after its terrible run 2 starts back.

Now heres the point of post.
2 starts back Mohican Prince drew the pole at Shepparton. Same thing happened today. Both times it handed up, today lobbing back leaders back after being 3rd on the pegs 2 starts back.
Both races were ran in near identical Mile rates. 2 starts back it saw daylight at the top of the straight and was taking ground off the winner to be beaten 1.3m in 1.58.8. Today it was gone halfway round the bend and was eventually beaten 15m in 1.58.9.
So that is a 13.7m turnaround, or a bit over 3 lengths. In fact, 4 lengths if you think today he came from leaders back instead of one spot behind.
I know horses arent machines but as someone who normally follows rather than bets, especially away from the Metro meetings, its a bit off-putting. I'd imagine punters would be more peeved off with this kind of thing more than myself as well. Things like this should be put in the stewards reports; not just the occasional odds on pop getting stuck in the chair and going down so having the run queried etc. Need more actual horse people in the stewards rooms.
