Mac, I keep speed figures of SA horses and I see when consistent horses suddenly produce below par figures (they don't have to win but the figures should be close to consistent). I unfortunately I do not have the stats to prove my point.
For an examples look at the De Kock stable, just see how many disappointing runs they've had recently.
What happened to Celtic Sea, Queen Supreme, Summer Pudding? those are just the big guns that pop into mind right now but there are many ordinary horses running that like yo-yoz on a daily basis.
I don't know if anyone can back anything with confidence based on past performances.
By the way I see Kommetdieding is out of the Derby, anything is possible.
If I was in charge I would commission a study or open an inquiry to look at all the disappointing runs of the last 2yrs, maybe something can come out.
I wonder what is Anton Marcus take on this, he probably gets shocked every week when the good thing he jumped on just runs a flat race for no reason.
It may or may not be the case but just burying heads in the sand and making excuses does not make the problem go away.
