Does the draw effect the outcome of long distance races?

I was just perusing the cards for today and wondering if there is anything worth mailing about and I saw that Pontefract has a meeting.

Good morning all,

The flat season has finally started and I’m still trying to get my head around the fact the first two Classics have been run, albeit a month by schedule, in the first week of the sports resumption.

Racing behind closed doors seemed to go without any major hitches.  It still seems strange to see the parade rings devoid of connections, never mind empty stands. But at least it’s happening which is the important thing.

Not sure what the older horses make of it all. They must be wondering where the crowd and the all the noise is. We know that horses are intelligent animals and I’m sure some get some extra energy from the excitement of a big race day crowd. On the other side of the coin, those horses of a more nervous dispensation could put in a better performance due to the lack of pre-race ‘buzz'.

Inside today’s piece I’m going to take a look back at both Classics. Oh, and I have also taken a look at Monday’s action.

Good morning all,

Drew a blank yesterday and in truth not a lot I like today, despite it being a really good day's racing. My thoughts on the main piece. Good luck, and have a great weekend.
