Backed it straight out but should never have been at those odds.

10/10 drive now that’s a driver doing his form and knowing the horses around him.
Well done.

Very unjust that Gary Hall Jnr gets off and poor Emily doesn’t get any time reduction. The world can be so unfair

Plenty of roughies Australian wide getting home tonight
Of those 65 wins 63 have been at GP and roughly 55 wins have been from in front or outside the leader. What does that tell you about the horses racing style, last night was nothing out of the ordinary except he didn’t win.
As far as sprint lanes are concerned your assumption of walking and sprinting home is definitely nothing new to GP. It has been happening at GP for the past 35 years and that is why punters, owners and spectators have left in droves.
Your assumption that a sprint lane on a 800 mtr track creates a sprint home is incorrect. Typically if the horse in the breeze is good enough it will put enough pressure on during the race so the leader folds before entering the straight thus impeding the run of the following horse. This also opens up the field and brings the backmarkers into the race.
If you want a great example of what a sprint Lane could do for GP just have a look at this years Pacing Cup result. Horse pushes up along inside and knocks them all off (even the caller didn’t see it).
Punters now like to bet novelties so if you wanted to increase returns on novelties at GP you would put a sprint Lane in. I could not think of a better track in Aust for a sprint Lane to add some much needed interest.
As far as your borefest 1000 plus metre tracks I totally agree but don’t get the size of the track and sprint lanes confused with reasons for boring racing.

Cant_Refuse, cisco dislikes this post.
But she said that the horse was doing its best and didn’t think her celebration cost it winning
He should have got 3 months for knocking someone over to get an illegal run. Old hubby couldn’t handle the missus winning the cup so knocked someone over to beat her.

Nope not at all. I’m in the camp of the female drivers. Love it when all the girls do well. Emily, Jocelyn, Maddison, Shannon, Deni all of them. You obviously need to chuck your spectacles on old fella as none of my posts have said anything hateful towards Jnr - fair dinkum
Get your shit together TAB Touch.
Has he done a Dean Laidley.

got carried away listing off all the female names. Forgot shannon is a blokes name too
THORNS (A DeCampo) breaking gait in the front straight on the final
occasion. Evidence was taken from Drivers A. De Campo and G. Hall Jnr
(CABSAV). Driver G. Hall Jnr pleaded guilty to a charge of causing
interference under HR163(1)(a)(iii), with the particulars being that he
allowed CABSAV to shift down the track approaching the front straight on
the final occasion causing BETWEEN TWO THORNS to be tightened with
contact being made to its off foreleg resulting in its breaking gait.
Driver G. Hall Jnr subsequently had his licence to drive in races
suspended for a period of 18 days from midnight the 25th of February
2022 to midnight the 15th of March 2022. When assessing penalty Stewards
took into account his guilty plea, the degree of carelessness being at
mid-level, the degree of interference being mid to high level, his prior
overall good record under the rule and that this was a Group 1 event
where increased tariffs are applicable.
Couldn’t have planned it any better.
