Blue 1,099 Report post Posted December 3, 2019 I didn't hear or see the race and I think it was Oamaru last weekend. Just heard Pete Early and Dave Mac lamenting the start of a trot race. Abysmal said Pete (being nice) and said he would be asking serious questions in his show tomorrow morning. I hope he adds race 2 at Alex Park tonight to that discussion as well. What a bloody shambles. (never had a bet). There's got to be a better way. No wonder turnovers are dropping. lamour 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how there is never any trouble with mobile starts! There are quite a few false starts with mobiles eljay. I think many are caused by the mobile going too fast before horses have settled into their stride properly. I may be wrong however.

eljay 1,720 Report post Posted December 23, 2019 That surely is one of the reasons, but horses being animals are unpredictable. Every meeting there is usually one example of a re-start, but because the offending horse(s) get another chance the punter overlooks these indiscretions.
