DateCourse Rail Track Comment
08/11/2014FLEMINGTONOUT 4MGOOD(3)Very firm track and warm drying day and the racing pattern strongly favours on pacers. Very few horses made any ground out wide and down the straight they even went hard against the inside rail.
06/11/20144FLEMINGTONOUT 4MGOOD(3)Early in the day they can run on and win, but it was noticable as the day progressed that most winners cut back to the inside or raced on speed. Middle of the track down the straight.
04/11/2014FLEMINGTONTRUEDEAD(4)Even racing. The inside was barely touched on Saturday and it was noticable that many of the winners today raced on speed or close to the rails. Down the straight they spread out down the middle of the track, but most of the winners actually came closer to the inside.
01/11/2014FLEMINGTONTRUEGOOD(3)Few showers around but not enough to affect the track. A very windy gusty day means that on pacers struggle. Most winners run on late out wide. Down the straight the outside rail and outside barriers are the go.
25/10/2014MOONEE VALLEYOUT 3MGOOD(3)Rail moved out further and watered after strong leader bias at Friday night meeting. Even racing, though most winners came closer to the rails.
24/10/2014MOONEE VALLEYTRUEGOOD(3)Even with rail TRUE there is a strong leaders bias and pretty much every winner leads. Lots of outsiders stick on sitting on speed too.
18/10/2014CAULFIELDOUT 6MGOOD(3)Firm track and even racing, though in most races they come off the rails and a lot of winners finish hard down the middle of the track.
15/10/2014CAULFIELDTRUEGOOD(3)Even racing though on pacers stick on well and quite a few runners sneak through hard against the rails
11/10/2014CAULFIELDTRUEGOOD(3)Track definitely favours on pacers and most winners either lead or sit on the speed. Very tough to run out on wide and get into the race.
04/10/2014FLEMINGTONOUT 9MGOOD(3)Even racing, but most of the winners race on speed but off the rails a bit and it is hard for back markers to get into the race.
28/09/2014CAULFIELDTRUEGOOD(2)Strong sunny windy day and track ends up very firm indeed. It helped to get cover, but nearly all wins raced on speed and close the rails and it was very hard to make ground in the straight.
26/09/2014MOONEE VALLEYOUT 3MGOOD(3)Traditional return to MV night racing - and a traditional dynmate MV leaders track. Winners either led or tracked through on rails and was hard to get into the race from well back.
20/09/2014CAULFIELDOUT 9MGOOD(3)Fairly windy day and a firm track and they can win running on late. Inside appears to be off and a few horses kick clear on the turn on the inside, only to stop soon after. On pacers generally struggled.
13/09/2014FLEMINGTONTRUEGOOD(3)Really good days racing, track is a firm GOOD(3) and the racing does tend to favour those running on late, especially in the straight races. First and second home in all of the straight races came from outside barriers and there was a distinct fast lane out past the middle of the track.
06/09/2014MOONEE VALLEYTRUEGOOD(3)Even racing, though it was hard to come from well back and get into the finish and on pacers features in most finishes.
30/08/2014CAULFIELDOUT 6MGOOD(3)Even racing, though the on pacers did win most of the races. Follow those who come from behind and won, they are class horses going places.
23/08/2014MOONEE VALLEYOUT 4MGOOD(3)Even racing they can run on OK but most races are won by those racing on speed.
16/08/2014CAULFIELDOUT 3MDEAD(4)Even racing, though the on pacers did win most of the races.
09/08/2014FLEMINGTONOUT 10MGOOD(3)Tends to favour those running on late. Down the straight closer to the inside seems to be better.
02/08/2014MOONEE VALLEYTRUEDEAD(5)Inside is really, really off and the runners on dominant. Anything on the inside has close to no chance.
26/07/2014CAULFIELDTRUEDEAD(5)Miserable cold and wet day and the on pacers stick in really well, though you could still run on and get into the finish.
23/07/2014CAULFIELDOUT 13MSLOW(6)Mid week pop up meeting and rail out a long way tends to favour those racing on speed.
19/07/2014FLEMINGTONOUT 4MDEAD(4)Even racing, they can run on and win, down the straight they tend to head to the middle of the course.
12/07/2014FLEMINGTONTRUESLOW(6)Cold, windy day with strong head wind in the straight and class horses can win coming wide down the middle of the track.
05/07/2014CAULFIELDOUT 9MSLOW(7)Horses can run on OK, but most of the winners lead or race on speed and racing does tend to favour on pacers
