Great day out at riccarton saturday, nice weather, top fields and a good crowd, the hardest part was trying to back a winner. Just thought after the feature races and un saddling of the horses in the birdcage , after such a hard race, the winner then had to endure the duration of the speeches and the replay of the last stages of the race over the loud speaker, then were expected to line up for the winning photo with the owners. A tough ask on some of the younger horses who are not used to the big occasion, and are all hyped up, after running their heart out. To their credit they were well behaved, but just thought the photos would be best done first and the horse wisked away for a hose down. Enjoyed the day out and after a big week of racing, looks like all horses got around unscathed, at the end of the day, that to me is the most important thing.

After watching the staying races these days, have to wonder about the riding tactics, today at timaru in the rating75 race some runners were 3 and 4 wide the trip, makes it a tough ask to win, the second favorite travels from last 4 wide to reach the front at the turn, surely the objective is to be in front at the winning post, not 400m from home, is it just me or have our riders lost the art of rating stayers, all to often you see them take off so far from home, hit the front at the turn. Even at riccarton with a 500m straight, they seem to make their moves so early, be interested in any other opinions.
