Someone in another thread asked about what people thought about having guards on horses prior to races , my horses competed in 2 group 1 races at menangle during the last season and we were elated that guards were placed on the horses in those races , ( in our case they were stewards not guards ) and our horses performed well and at least we felt we had a fair chance in the race once the guards/stewards arrived.
