Exactly Greg, exactly. Although Magi has been saying all along the inside is probably fine and the jocks were just acting like sheep, it is strange how today they go there immediately in Race 1. I have no problem with that apart from the fact that punters are never given any advice pre-racing where the advantage may be, we can only go on what recent history says and whether Magi was right or wrong, that would definitely seem to suggest high is better. (It still may be, was only one race, who knows?!!!). The Vaal in particular is a course where draw advantage can change frequently. It is about time this was brought to an end, it opens up underhand conspiracy theories which may or may not have some foundation but, either way, the punter must be given a fair chance when having a bet, when the advantage seems to change or level out like today, all my early bets now seemingly seem a waste of time. I can't believe that the track manager or whoever has no inclination pre-racing that there may be an advantage and on what side of the course that would be. The fact that I had Chestnut Dancer as an idiot and it won the far side "race" makes it even more aggravating though does not have a direct influence on my opinions with this. Doubt anyone else will bother to comment though.

Was just thinking same thing

The Snaith first timer better be good because the Ramsden horsie looked very well going down!

Thanks WE (tu)

Looks a decent 2 year old that one(tu)

thanks we(tu)

So either Snaith has some unbelievable stock or the other 2 year olds from other stables are decidedly moderate..........

He has won every single 2 year old race in CTN bar 1, the very first one, which he never had a runner in.

That is some record!
