Horror Draws Becoming The Fashion

ROBERT Price has three options with sprinting filly Fashion Addict.
Nowra today, Canberra tomorrow, or wait and hope for more luck in the barrier draw next week.The Armidale filly has managed to find the outside marble three of the last four times she has accepted for a race and on the other occasion she drew one from the outside."She drew the outside at Canberra and Nowra and before that she drew the outside when she won at Goulburn," Price lamented."We also took her out of a race because of a bad draw in between times. I don't know what she's done wrong but she can't get any luck with a gate."Price rates the Sita Recycling Class 2 Handicap (1000m) at Nowra this afternoon one of the more competitive races seen at Archer racecourse in recent times."It's a hot race but it's my first option," Price said."I favour running her in that race because we don't have to travel and if a couple (of horses) came out it's not that bad a draw."I will make my mind up in the morning but if she doesn't start at Nowra I know there is a nice race for her at Warwick Farm next week and we might wait for that."You never know she might draw a gate."
