Just wondering if any of the punters on here are into backing some of those bold front-running horses that really get the blood pumping and making races exciting?
By this, I mean ones like the old Queenslander, Maltese Beauty, that used to open up 40 length leads in many races and on some occasions, simply built too big a lead to be caught (used to puncture a few times too of course
). I used to love the Adelaide (ex-NSW) runner, Power Plan in the mid 90's, that used to do the same thing, and would often hang on for a place or the odd win, with amazing displays, that would be nightmares for cameramen, trying to keep the whole field in shot?
Perth's Crying Game was another that used to set the pace, and would break opposition hearts, until its trainer, Angela Johnson, simply got far too greedy with the horse and used to race it much too often, until it broke down one day.
