It looked to me like Shane Graham on the Stablemate wasn't privy to such tactics Kev. I think he was in as much shock as everyone watching. It took a furlong to go from one out to half a cart onto the pegs. At any time that Fav could easily of got onto his wheel and it's game over for the 10's on pop taking a sit at the 600m!
I know they drive like that in NZ but NZ Harness Racing is as unwatchable as it is uninteresting.
