So what happens in Race 6 ?
The Sunday Herald said this :
Veteran Jockey Noel Harris defied a natural on-the-speed racing bias at Tauranga yesterday to kick home impressive winner Vonusti in the $25,000 feature event.
Racing close to the pace was the place to be at the right-handed track but Harris took no notice of that in the 1400m event. Harris settled Vonusti back towards the rear of the field against the running rail and rode in his typically patient style giving the 5-year-old plenty of time to relax.
And then in Race 7 and Race 8 All In Tempo and Natsinga win from the back. Time after time the proponents of some magical form of alternating track bias are left with egg on their face ....
Occasionally, all races on a card will be won by handy runners. These occasions are nothing more than statistical. Horses are more likely to win from handy positions anyway. Still ... it keeps the proponents of the bias illusion happy.
