Also giving Vincenzo a chance at big odds of trying to zap them and run well.
Clares Fool EW R3 Narrogin my best of the night
His form through the months has come on leaps and bounds. All credit to both trainer and a driver who is racking up wins and places on big priced runners.
The other thing - have spoken about this once or thrice - the free for all bunch of gee gee's there is a different winner every week and glad to report Luis Alberto didn't let the system down.
Wonder who'll it will be next week ?

Only one thing surprise's more than Luis Alberto's genuine improvement...and that's how in the heck did Whozideawasthis dash past Chicago Bull ?
Anyway it was his turn to show up that night and unplaced twice since, next week we will see a new result again.
It's a terrific stable, one of the best I've ever seen, but if anybody can ever convince me that it's all positive and a great thing for trotting to have that many stablemates in a race - please do.

Raymond Alexander was that other improver mentioned - placed again tonight at Narrogin at $3.60 tote. He was a quintessential battler and still is, but doesn't matter if Luis Alberto or Raymond Alexander when they can improve its good to see.
Do horse's literally get happier at new camp's ? There would be different training methods etc, but I'd reckon yes a new environment might make a horse happy or happier for sure.
Nobody believes me - but I still reckon 25-30 years ago bookmakers would've bet 6/1 or 7/1 Campora but on the flip side Luis Alberto would only have been 20 to 25/1.
Don't know what was more ridiculous the 2/1 9/4 Campora or 75/1 Luis Alberto.
Never has the barrier draw played a bigger factor in betting odds in the history of trotting at Gloucester Park.
Of course there are the processions and forget any horse drawn badly - but then there are the other races! Barrier draw can be thrown out the window after a lap - and they are much better to watch.

How well does he place them too.
Talking of tucking in behind the leader - look Browny that thing you drove in the last at GP - it ain't that good, ( compared to the Hall driven horse ) just tuck in behind the fave - why wanted to stay in the one out line and go up and down on the one spot instead of running second just like Galante did ?
Draw gate 2 - Hall in one driving the good thing just get in behind it.

No doubt that will turned around very fast and will bet London to a brick a Hall runner wins the Free For All next week.
"Giddyup's" brief comment previewing the race race was..."tricky race dominated by the Hall stable"....was tricky alright, but domination as it transpired was only on paper.
Nice if backed getting 14/1 about a 6/1 chance.
Got a lot of time for Caviar Star but the 40 metre mark at GP can test the best of them. That's what makes them such good races.

the races are divided by HWOE as it narrows the bands in accordance wit industry feedback
Just Barney was in RBD race and someone has to draw bad and unfortunately he drew bad
His other two GP starts were under the MCR system in GPC races one of which was pref draw on C and the other was RBD - Neither race was under the HWOE system
Just Barney comparison
2016/17 season - 20 starts - 2 wins - 3 x 2nds - 3 x 3rds - 4 x 4ths = $14,435 - av/start $722
2017/18 season - 18 starts - 2 wins - 4 x 2nds - 2 x 3rds - 2 x 4ths = $14,442 - av/start $801
15 starts under HWOE - 1 win - 3 x 2nds - 2 x 3rds - 5 x 4ths = $12,943 - av/start $863
No success for Just Barney this week but another successful night under the HWOE system for the Scott camp

Metro races drawn at handicappers discretion unless field split then it is just fill each race by HWOE
It is probably something that needs to be looked at ,if there was only 1 field we probably would have got a ballot to be honest.Current form should be considered when selecting fields to pit the best performing horses against each other to make a race out of it not just a procession ,just my opinion .
Still waiting on results of the NBM and CRS to be provided to the industry .Maybe some forums to display the results and get some industry feedback on its implementation will be provided in the near future .
Maybe next time we head to GP we will get a bit more luck with the draw maybe we won’t thats racing
