Straight Course. High or low please?

Actually, it's the other way round now, so high.

The media journalists love to stick doubts in the mind of punters,
so don't bother about the draw it's a STRAIGHT course, last year a thread on here
was discussing the draw in the CESAREWITCH a 2 1/4 MILE handicap with just
one bend at about halfway, bloddy stupid.

Mind you my horse had a bad draw in the GRAND NATIONAL, that's why it lost.

Either high or low can end up bad draws as we've already seen this week. Doesn't help that jocks have sh*t for brains and are like lemmings, going where they think most other runners are going, which often means low and high nos lose lengths at the start congregating towards the middle.
Then the field starts to split and fan out and it's all about where the fastest pace is. Have seen horses on near and far side screwed by lack of pace around them. Which is what makes the big field straight races such a lottery and a bookies benefit. Dimension ended up having no chance from his low draw in RHC, and Valbchek chance compromised by high draw in Jersey. Need a crystal ball as a punter trying to work it out beforehand.

Extremes usually pay off, if youd backed all of the top and bottom six in the Hunt Cup, Brittania,Buckingham and Wokingham in the last few years you probably would have netted around 66% of the winners from less than 50% of the field
