Speed and SA
The biggest question i have is why anyone would want to go to the lead on that surface at SA????
It seems that 90% of the time or more that speed doesn't hold. I can understand that if you are on a horse that is speed and can't be controlled that maybe you have no choice. That said, why would Chantal even consider to have the horse in yesterday's 6th on the lead????? Makes no sense to me.
If the jocks all understand that you can't be on the lead on the synthetic what happens? Do they draw straws to see who will be on the lead every race? I assume not. Someone always goes to the lead when in theory they should be stalking or sitting in the back on a closer for that one run. NOthing is more frustrating then placing a wager on a horse at SA and seeing the jock rush up to the lead when the PPs show that they don't need to do that.
