Is there a place for Standing Start races if we are looking to maximize market share

[Richard prior]

I think we are all smarting after last nights Hunter Cup upset but I've been going through some stats this morning that might make some sense, The Kiwi's have far more stand starts races over there than what we do here in Oz, Now our racing here has become very much focused on sprint to 2200m racing apart from a few Country Cups and the Interdom, Hunter Cup etc, I've got together some figures for races above 2400m and I'll start with the Kiwi's,
Arden Rooney 16
Franco Ledger 44
Easy On The Eye 20
Adore Me 12
Christen Me 16
Terror To Love 34
Aussie Horses
Restrepo 9
Guaranteed 3
Philadelphia Man 3
Beautide 16(13 of these in Tamania)
The figures are quite staggering and the Kiwi's definitley have a big advantage with their experience in standing starts and are far more experienced over the longer distance races.
