I hope thats better for the trainers finishing down the field. Now and then in maidens horses can run a shocker but I think rating horses nearer 70 rather than 80 is fairer. Some of those out the back could end up in the 50's and some will definitely need to come down to a mark in the 60's to have a chance of winning. But that can be done over their next few races.

Good job. I wouldn't fancy it!

Its very hard to handicap the staying races as most dont have any pace, which means those front running or handy can have a huge advantage due to the flaws of the racekit. At the same time those held up have no chance of winning.

I wish you all the best there! The races run at 25-28mph might as well be ignored, although I know you cant do that.
