Here's a couple at the Valley that will go close but I think just miss the chocolates.

Moonee Valley

r7 n2 Olympica - could be a bit dour, dropping 400m

A nice start.

Moonee Valley
r4 n2 Unchain My Heart - 2nd $2.50/1.24
Ran a good race then the extra weight told over the last 200m. The winner Star of Jeune was also very well rated in front by M Payne.

Look at how tight tracks favour on pacers.

I just don't understand why the jocks haven't learnt this after all this time.
Why would you let a horse just skip away, when you know he has all the favours?
It's getting like the trots, these days, because no jockey has the sense to take on the leader and by the time the wake up, it's all over.

Very strange, I'm starting to think something else is going on!

I'm not talking through my pocket, as Star Of Jeune was my best result.

Hi Chrome Prince,

It is hard to gauge what's going on sometimes I agree! In this instance, perhaps the riders on the two favourites got obsessed with following each other?

We curse and swear when a jockey rides a shocker but maybe we're not giving enough credit to the best riders and the job they do of summing up pace and making decisions in a race?
