Never got a crack at them in straight this course 18/4.With a clearer run should be there or thereabouts R4 #9 Westburn Bliss Always close up .If it can overcome draw sure to be close again R8 #4 Bettor Beontoit Going ok without looking like winning.Won't take much to see it in the money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those super short races will be an eyeopener. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't use any criteria as I think they are just trying to create a different spectacle and I severely doubt they are trying to increase turnover by it. Anyway, 90% of punters won't even realise the race is over 1390m and most again wouldn't even consider the difference between 2000m and 2600m races for horses so I doubt it will have an impact people's betting habits. Today's novelty distance is more in line with Addington's 2400m (lottery being so close to a bend) stand whereas the mile / 1700 stand racing at Methven is something which is much more considered and with a view to the long term. Personally, I like inventiveness of what Methven does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos1 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 They (short races) were good to watch. Good finishing runs. Only disappointment backed Pay Me Visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting start, the length of the straight. What a dash. Might replace the greyhounds... 12 minutes ago, craigos1 said: Only disappointment backed Pay Me Visa.

How long does Archman have to be at John Dunn's before he is considered the trainer? Been ages. The interesting watch tomorrow is Dalness Arizona now being trained by Amber 'Aveross' Hoffman and to be driven by Blair Orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos1 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Does Archman's trainer travel up to Chch every week? Your 2nd point .... Interesting to say the least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a zoom meeting with the horse I imagine. 13 hours ago, craigos1 said: Your 2nd point .... Interesting to say the least! And Friendly Eyre in Race 2. I am expecting vastly improved performances from both of them. A Hoffman double is 156 to 1 on the FF but it is not beyond the realm.
