Becareful,

You don't think this has the potential to be a defacto "cut-away" rail? A savvy rider could begin slowly from a wider barrier then hunt up on the inside thus saving several lengths. Fine, good riding, but an unexpected/unanticipated factor to be considered by we form students.
I believe that if they draw barrier 1 then they should start from that barrier notwithstanding the state of the track.
Isn't that what form study is all about? - by spending hours poring over every variable then hopefully coming up with an "edge" over the general betting public?
I just see this as an inappropriate practice by the racing club(s) and I will have to be more vigilant in respect of this aspect in future.
