SR2,
Small fields are always a mine-field for the unwary punter(s).
However, how can supposedly professional riders allow a horse/rider to get so far away from them in a small field?
Check your calendar...is it xmas because some riders were "presented" with the perfect opportunity to compete in the finish and others were left languishing!
You work it out for yourself............!

Cheers.

MR8,
the leader set a good steady pace for the "swooper" to win easily.
I'm not complaining because I anticipated this and subsequently backed the winner:
No.6 Galactic Gun WON $3.0w$1.7plNSW
this is the whole principle of my approach.....punters-use your brains!
If you fail to notice the obvious then you are doomed to lose everything you own!

Cheers.

Wyong(SR6):
Did anyone else have reservations regarding some of the riding tactics adopted by some of our supposedly top jockeys in this race?
Hmmmm......work it out for yourself.

Cheers.

Bendigo R5,
How is it that a certain rider is flashing home, wielding the whip in a vigorous manner, then 50m out from the line reverts to a more relaxed action and subsequently costing his mount 2nd place......?
You figure it out............!

SR6,

They're kidding.......!
Wasn't it opportune that the leader eased out from the fence in the straight to allow the long-shot to secure a run!
Not only that...why was a prominent rider peering behind him in the early stages of the race...maybe someone was yelling out to him to "follow the script.......!"
The sooner we get an ICAC officer in Sydney racing the better....!
This in no way implies that the current officials are not doing their job but rather, they can get on with the day to day operations and the ICAC officer can initiate his/her own enquiries.
Can anyone come up with a viable argument in the negative?
Please don't say the extra cost because the AJC is employing new bureacrats whilst telling the trainers there is no more money left in the "kitty."

Cheers.

SR3,

Even the commentator mused: "they were all cutting at each other up front....setting it up for something from behind"- which is exactly what happened!
Of course those involved in the duel for the lead weakened and finished "down the track" and the backmarkers swooped!
You figure it out.

Cheers.

PR9,
hmmm...do you bet regularly in W.A?
I certainly don't and I never intend to because I will never forget the sight of that Perth Cup winner being held up by attendants to ensure it didn't collapse in the birdcage.
If you bet there, good luck to you because you'll need it!

Cheers.

Yes, agree with the statement about that Perth Cup winner, quite distubing.

I don't think WA is worse than anywhere else for 'suspicious' results [look no further than Flem. last Sat.]. WA still has the highest Fav. strike rate in Oz. I think I'd rather bet their than NSW !

well said Crash, i continue to focus mainly on perth racing and will remain to for some time. im off to the stradbroke on saturday and my missus asked me who i liked , i replied keytomoney looks the goods, which race is that,its in perth
