Phil's opinion and mine agree with the facts of the day last Saturday [SLOW times!] So what???
If you have no racing opinion for this thread Sportz, don't use it to snip at my heels [Bark, Bark!], it's not a good look.
From my records of the day:
[track record for 1400m: 1.21.20]
r1/1400m/Gabbidon 1.25.51
r2/1400m/Shadow 1.23.29*
r3/1400m/Seafarer 1.22.52*
r8/1400m/Miss Finland 1.24.58
* Both would have beaten Miss Finland, Haradasun and El Segundo [unplaced but fastest sectional] on the day by many lengths.
The only race that ran time was:
r6/1700m/Ice Chariot 1.42.19 [record 1.41.42].
Like I've already said, training has been out of whack for most horses, not that Miss Finland, Haradasun and El Segundo where donkeys. Just that on the day they all would have been beaten by one!
