Warm White Night should add extra speed and also is a Mr P sire so from draw 1 she could be a springer.

excelllento....brillaint....well done....

Can anyone tell me why Mark Dixons wife was hitting African Dream with a Pick N Pay packet when she was refusing to load, talk about a pointless exercise :silly:

Why is that woman with a white whip standing behind the starting gates?
Don't think she knows what she's doing, for goodness sake get her outa
there.

Another brilliant ride from Superman on Eddie Sweat, this boy is world class :woohoo: :woohoo:

just as good as the odds on arm chair ride in the first race :lol: which lost

Maybe because I needed the fav to go missing but how long does a horse have to load. It seems as well that certain horses get a bit more leniency but again could be my mind playing tricks.

It may have made no difference but my bet loaded 1st and was at least in the starting gates 4 minutes before they were sent on their way.

Hard call to make for the starter - obviously the Public horse in this case but i remember a week or so ago Gavin Lerena had a horse for Alec Laird that was hot to trot and it was scratched very quickly. Gavin was livid.
Simple fix - the Starters ALL agree on a set time for the last horse to load and start a loading stopwatch - You go over that and we RACE - NO time to reconstruct bets as I believe that horses standing are prejudiced unfairly. If everyone has the same rule and punters KNOW about it before hand then we are all playing by the same rules -
