Would all of yesterdays VIC runners have had the first flu shot yet? Could that be a factor in some of the results?

I didn't think it was a bad ride up until they come off the turn. Should of followed Hoff and Satinspin into the race. Don't think it would of beaten the winner though.

I wouldn't think so. Correct me if I am wrong but i believe that the horses are not meant to be worked for a week or two after recieving the shot. But I guess they need to get it at some stage and cannot afford to miss work at any time. Fair point you raise.
