R3 No1 Black Jack Zac EW. The way this track is playing I thought that even he might take the option of holding up and shooting for an all the way win.
R4 No3 Patrickthepiranha. As good as Mighty Conqueror is I think Patrick is being grossly underestimated and they should be closer to even Stevens.
R5 No12 Athabascan a maddy for me tonight to run in to the top 4.
R7 No2 Tajie Baby. I know Parisian party girl is quick out and will wont to get the favs back but I thought Lindsay could do enough to get Tajie to the top and cause a boilover.
R8 No2 Overboard Again. Best of the night for me.
R9 No5 Extreme Prince. Having a throw at the stumps here that he might be able to cross.
R10 No1 Whitbys Gamble. Bolted in 5 back leading throughout, price is way to good to go past it doing it again.
Happy punting.

Now that is an example of the quality of race you can get from GP when the best horse can't just walk to the front!!!

Lay of the day another vinnie @ 1.95
Hates the pole gallops most times drawn 1
Totally agree on Vinnie, just can't see him leading.
Watch him dictate and bolt in now

Brilliant drive Maddison Brown flying home along the pegs to nearly pinch it on the 100/1 pop.
Argyle Red well rated in front, thought was way too short in the betting and couldn't win..wroooong. What's more he looked gone 100 times.

Wasn’t that long ago that every man and his dog was pretty vocal on here when Vincenzo Perugia applied pressure to I think it was wesley, claimed it was an improper drive, tonight was much worse

Fluke that the marbles fell where they did to make the races and the drivers upped their game!
Wildwest draws 1, Carter Michael Draws 1, Arma Indie draws 1, Overboard again draws 1, Pradas Ideal Dahlging draws 1 and Seargent Oats draws 1 Which they all could have we are looking at another dead in the water meeting.

Gee's he lost some ground on the bend and into the straight and motored late, in front a fraction after the post.
Yes well done to Belltane connections, picked them up pretty easily, and the boys who layed Another Vinnie spot on too. Didn't gallop but didn't give much either.

Previous week Our Jimmy J went three back and ran a place. Argyle Red a big chance to lead, The Bucket more than handy trailing, three back for the 100/1 pop was a nice spot.
Never seen a bigger first four divvy with three well fancied runners, and the roughie only third.
However with no sprint lane - you have to think! He came to the outside and Rock On got his run, that's why happy with no sprint lane, ya gotta think for yourself!
So in this case a sprint lane would have assisted the horse coming from out wider on the track and at GP those coming from out wide need all the help they can get.

It is easy to view from last 200 mtrs perspective but when drivers are familiar with it the tactics for a sprint lane finish start in the first 400 Mtrs of the race.
This can be the driver that’s drawn barrier 1,2,7,9 and so on depending on mobile set up. It also has a big bearing on horse racing in breeze as to when to place pressure on leader and horse coming from rear. It just brings a whole new dimension into the race tactics.
Have won on and got beaten on sprint lane tracks and from a drivers perspective it really opens up the field and adds some science to it. It’s not just about the horse sitting behind the leader.
My opinion only I’m sure there are legitimate reasons against.
