CLOUDS CLEARING in the last needs 1800/2000m preferably at Vaal or Standside track....but she should show improvement and should stay on late. I would like for them to give her a chance at the back to run on at them

Imo, it was akin to the first race victory - but somehow you selected it - you must have been chuffed to see that Yeni took the ride (won on her in the Maiden at Fairview) - I did not even realize that Yeni was a replacement 

. And the winner - more than a year since her last win 

. I think we all assumed that Bay Empire would be even better over the 1600 - and the weights and draw - but we did not realize that with the fast pace she is better over 1400 - and I think it was not the greatest ride from a fast pace 

I'll be honest....I had two horses in the race....The winner was only my 5th pick. BAY EMPIRE....whom I know is a 7 furlong horse was my 1st pick...but I was going on the fact that the race was gonna be run at a slower tempo, because BE defnitely does not get a good run mile. CLOUDS CLEARING was my LS of the day....the 1st time i realized YENI rode it was when it read your comments just now. Most times I couldn't care less who rides a horse, every jockey wants money, right? Anyways....I used Sectional Timing in conjuction with STRIDE LENGTH and CADENCE DATA(In other words the BIOMECHANICS) the Horses to see their preferred running distances....because in the end breeding only gets us so far.....along with that 'indicators' that show a horse is ready for his next run...even thou he finished close to last in his previous race.
