With so many races in Australia run as sit and sprint affairs, I must say that backing horses who can find a position just off the speed from a good barrier are the ones I'm always keen to be on.

Dundas, your right. Races in NZ are pretty similar, except the jockeys here 'walk' until the last 600m. In USA a few years back and they just don't let up. It's almost like a continuous sprint for 1600m. |
