Very true, I'd prefer to stay in my stall but the trainer may not give me that option so there might not necessarily be a lack of exercise.

Three faves won the nine races at Randwick on Saturday, maybe they were not affected by the bad weather? Still, it's food for thought.

Maverick 1993 says both horses looked good in the yard - if this was responsible for the plunge or part of it, then how could anyone possibly factor this into their earlier calculations? I too get the impression that you might just be a little too hard on yourself. Your other selections did very well.

If Mark Read, etc, had soft opening prices on the two horses it would then seem they also did not rate them too highly.
