I remember Van Wyk doing it for either a Hemming or Stenger horse over the 1600m straight Vaal not the bend - When they started the 1600m straight jocks kept to one side and bunched up - I think it was the outside rail and Van Wyk jumped from his draw and kept to that rail and was clear of the rest who followed the inside and won as he liked
