Have to put these up early. I feel confident. Don't know if this will help the horses though. Watch them closely, you will see them trying their hearts out. They are noble and stoic animals. I like the idea of removing the last jump on the second round. The horses are very tired then. I'd like to see the last 600 metres or so of these races without an obstacle. The last steeple at Oamaru is a horrific jump, even for a horse that isn't tired. Would like to see it removed on the last lap. Don't know if there's any research on which jump claims most horses (i.e. last, 2nd last etc).
