The better three year olds and older horses for that matter are just about to make their seasonal debuts and the ones which are running are relatively unexposed and do get rolled by other three year olds and or older horse with worse exposed form, but the penny has dropped (on race day) and arrives at any price.
I don't believe the track has anything to do with it, after all, they all running on the same track, not like the winner ran on the turf all alone.
Just my opinion.
The standard of horses running in KZN is way below Gauteng - How else will a 6 yr old, (rated 32-45) maiden get 9 runs in Maiden company this year - Bad horses make for bad results
BUURRN - look at this form
You cannot blame the owner and trainer as they have a right to see their horse run but how bad must the nominations be if the horse can get into a race.
