RSN producer Ben Day and I were having a bit of a joke today about
Rupert Legh and
not quite right about the computer – or presumably computers –
that spit out the random barrier draws for horses all around the country.
Moroney and Legh’s horses are having a run of wide barrier draws. At
Randwick on Saturday,
Sound drew wide (12) and
Tofane drew the carpark (15) in the Sapphire Stakes. At
Caulfield,
Shelby Cobra also drew the boondocks (16).
“I’m not saying it’s rigged or anything but it’s bloody strange,” Moroney said. “It’s been happening for months. They either all draw in – mostly when you don’t want them to – or all draw out.”
