POLINA finishes 4th
David drove an excellent race. Polina was 3rd most of way (see pic) behind two of the front-markers, but she dropped her head with about 500m to go. This meant she couldn’t trot as fast as she could have done and she made no headway in the straight. There will be some small gear changes around the mouth for next time. She was not very tired at the end, so her stamina is not in question. Next race? Don’t know yet.
Porto won yesterday at the ridiculous odds of nearly 7-1 in a five horse field. Olda was third, 4/100 second from the winner (a few cms) and Mariol finished 7th in the claimer (and wasn’t)
