The boys from downunder put on a driving clinic today at the Red Mile winning 10 outa 15
-
When I watch racing from "Down Under " I see two distinct classes of drivers. The first group I call the "Outback Cowboys " and the second group is "The Finess Fleet ". Guys like Dex and the McCarthy head the list of of group 2. The guys who are in the Cowboy groups are not going anywhere soon because they don't rate horses or seem to have any strategy whatsoever, ( every quarter is a new race to them in my opinion) When I look at the guys who have migrated to the States to drive,I see very tactical drivers who were very fortunate to get the hell out from down under in one piece! I believe that the guys who are now racing in the States have experienced every single thing that can possibly happen after the starter screams "GO!" and this is the reason why they always seem to be in a position to win!

Amazing that some don't do their homework and are that thick. Don't give a shit, ego, never get a mentor, or ape other's winning playbook and routine.
