Poor Judgement and no action

[p plater]

I wonder if there will be a COT this week? Reservation Road drawn wide again and change of driver. But going forward was best chance of winning last week. Maybe it was the drivers best chance of winning.

VVV- I've watched a lot of races over a lot of years and right now, off the top of my head I cannot think of so much as A SINGLE HORSE, be it Southern Hemisphere or Northern Hemisphere, that made it to the 1/4 in 25.8 (25 & 4/5ths) on the lead and lived to tell the story.

by Northern Hemisphere, you mean QLD ? : )

Sub 26 in the US and Canada is very common and many do live to tell the story.

I have no problem with the drive. Heza Presidente (sub 26 as well ?) and Heres Rommel went with her early and finished 2nd and 3rd. They went out with a plan, made it public, executed that plan and it failed.

The horses these guys are bringing to Menangle are breaking the clock (trialling and racing) around Newcastle. They're rock hard fit and they drive them accordingly. They make racing at Menangle far more interesting.

24 years ago Westburn Grant and Thorate carved out a 26.2 around Harold Park. What would that equate to, 24 years later around Menangle ?

Watching it again it did not look that bad but as far as plans go, a bit of flexibility never hurt (unless you are playing bully and maybe that is the real reason for making it public?). Of course 2nd and 3rd had more right to finish off after taking sits

Sub 26 is common in US and Canada as you say, so is sub 1.49 but only one horse has achieved that in our part of the world.

And if your not there at the finish what's the point in being first out if your last home, because that's the money part of any race.

The girl cannot judge pace at all period.

true

only good in front

Horses travel for her. I think she's an exceptional talent and it was on display well before she hooked up with Shane Tritton when freelancing for numerous trainers. She's not doing a lot of driving away from Tritton at present which is surprising.

[Mighty Atom]

When L Panella lines up on the front of any track she has only one strategy and that is to get to the lead in the quickest time possible. In the case of Shane Tritton's horses she is usually driving the superior horse in the race and the majority all capable of running fast sectionals making it look a lot easier than her exceptional talent suggests. When driving back in the field she is reduced to mediocrity.

Hit's the nail square on the head.

There's a lot more going on with her tactics than you guys give her credit for. She's one of the few drivers you watch and know for sure that she's done her form.

It was on display again last night.
