SR4,

Uh-oooh,

Whilst initially I was all in favour of the "changing of the guard" in Sydney racing whereby the "dead-wood" moved on to other venues to be replaced by "the mexican" riders and the Sth African topliners, I now have some reservations.
I'm referring to "team riding" which I understand is tolerated on the continent and some other racing countries.
Well, this is Australia and it is not tolerated here....!
If you watched this race, any form student would have some concerns as to how a particular runner is labouring on the fence "unable" to get a run but his compatriot charges down the outside to win!
I'm not suggesting anything but I will be watching very closely in future and I suggest other form students do likewise.
NB. I hope the officials are doing similar surveillance.
Hmmmmm.

Cheers.
