Lady ran 23.27. She needs to improve around 5 tenths to be reasonable.
She probably lost 1to2 tenths at the boxes.

coops

First time at 400m so hopefully she improves next run and jumps well.

Nothing wrong with running in the 23.20 for a maiden. Given the right race, that would win some maidens, but if you can get her down under 23, you are guaranteed to win more than just a maiden race.

I have no doubt that she'll get below 23.00 in the next couple of runs. But at the moment I'm concerntrating in getting her fit so she can get to that time. I've got 5 weeks to get her ready for the easter maiden heats at wentworth park.

Well lets hope she can break the 23 second mark.

Hey Coops, your aiming high with Group 2 Wenty Pk Easter Maiden as i hope she can get a good 520m for you and morgan. We had a go with my two dogs for a winner and a 4th a couple of years ago. The winner ran about 30.50 but best time was under 30.00 in the heats. He was blown away in the semi finals. Anyway mate you never know if you dont have a go. 23.20 for a maiden at richmond is okay. She should improve on that. Good Luck with her and are you still going to the meeting on sunday. Just letting know i wont be there. cheers Dougie :)

No it's not a group 2 Dougie, it's a maiden. Would 24.38 post to post at WP be ok to win a heat.

coops

It is a group race, however, I am under the impression its a group 3 race?
