BACKING UP HORSES - BEST EFFORT EVER??

[SCD]

Mal - i've got an absolute beauty for you to go on about...

Whyalla on Friday are conducting 1000m races (x4) for a 1000m final at 4:00 the same day..

Well Jimmy Coby is engaged in these heats at Whyalla and then backs up in race 1 at Globe Derby on Saturday night...

I would be happy enough to back this horse Saturday though.. the stable has a terrific record of backing horses up 2 days running and then going good the 2nd run - in saying that.. 3 runs in 2 days = not sure how that will go...

johnsmename at victor harbor (in the 80's) on numerous days raced twice in the one day in fact i remember on one day it ran 3rd in race 1 & in race 6 in a harder race won it


maybe it needed the run

truly unbeleiveable.... to get numbers up there they have to race twice in a day..... shut it down!!!!!

Yeah fellas itemise the times it does happen.
If I had a spare decade I could highlight the times it fails.

[bayman]

to be fair they are racing over 5 furlongs so it wouldn't take too much out of them

5 furlongs twice = a mile & a quarter (2,000 metres)

Gee holding the lead would be an advantage.....

Yeah - but what about the effort to race twice at Whyalla on Friday and then at Globe on Saturday - in the first.. only some 3 - 4 hours by car on the way home on Friday night.. good form
