Hi all,

I had one bet last night at Canterbury night races, Race 4-3 Iceskates. It was a drifter in the market and started second fav. At it's previous run it ran a big race at Rosehill over 1400 coming from last in a field of 12 for a very good finish, sectional times by far the best in the race. Last night it was over 1550 at Canterbury, and I had a gut feeling that knowing Canterbury it would NOT be suited there, but of course I still backed it. Sure it went back towards the tail and did nothing in the straight, along with other backmarker horses. The race was won by a horse that led all the way.

The obvious question here is, does anyone have any sort of stats for certain tracks, (mainly sydney and melbourne), as to winners coming from leaders/on pacers/mid race/backmarker type horses, you know what I mean. I guess the distance plays a roll here also.

Any thoughts..??

Regards, Paul
