GOM 1,017 Report post Posted May 10, 2020 Jape you need some training to do with getting out of the starting barriers quicker. After another very slow start on the GG'S picking comp yesterday ran on well again at the finish. Mind you Bus stop had the same sort of start and hardly ran on at all. Mr Zim was holding hands with Bus Stop all the way and needs to consult a family member quickly to get some advice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jape 344 Report post Posted May 10, 2020 Ha ha. Once again, though, I was very pleased with my final result at 13th and over $3K in the bin. BUT you are so right about the tardy beginnings. I grew up with the likes of Highland Fling and Lord Module and Thunder and Shorty Bijou. They often gave their opponents a good start before unleashing in the last lap - or even last furlong.. On the other hand, in my days as an athlete, I was a sprinter and long jumper and anything further than 220 yards was a challenge. Fast out of the blocks then try to hang on! Stamina was not in my genes. Those comps are great fun and certainly liven up a Saturday arvo. GOM 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
