I,m not to bright but if I could give some advice to jockeys
forget all this shoite about 2 winning posts at sandown and jut ride out as though the 2nd is the only one and if you benefit afterwards from the 1st one , its a brucie bonus,
how can anyone find fault with that or am I missing something

Why have 2 winning posts in the first place or am I just being being thick?
I don't watch the racing channels but it is surely possible to just adjust the starting positions and have 1 winning post?
No Denzil, the last fence and last hurdle are at different angles coming up the hill, so the chasers have to go further.
Ok jmdc but why can't they just have 1 winning post and accept that for e.g 2 mile races the hurdle track could 1 mile 198 yards or whatever and the chasers 2 miles.
i mean adjust the distances in name or will that not work either?

^ Correct - It is not the STARTS - after all - we have all these daft distances like 2m 73yds - and 2m 55yds.... irrespective of where the Winning Post is - at many different tracks.
if you have 1 winning post (say the hurdle winning post) then the inside rail is significantly shorter to the winning line on the chase track than the outside rail (should be equal on a straight run in...which it is with the chase winning post)
and you have a corresponding problem on the hurdles course if you adopt the chase winning post
wonder is presenting the correct argument as explained by Hoiles this morning.
