seen 2 races, seems to be favouring the rail rather than out in the middle.

There coming from behind and well off the fence, opposite of saturday, the leaders are getting run over, i'm not going to back horses in front, on the fence for the rest of the day.

The vet just was on TV and he passed Tawqeet fit to run!
Fine, but my usual adage is : "when in doubt take them out!"
I realise that everything appears to be OK but I am very wary when there is any doubt over one of the favoured runners.
I, personally, will be reducing my "dutch book" wager on Tawqeet and spreading it over my other selected runners. In my opinion this shows the advantage of betting on the day rather than PP betting-the advantages are obvious-you can change or manipulate your wagers to suit youself rather being "locked-in" when you wager early on the PP markets. I recognise that the better PP odds give an assumed advantage but this is often offset by the dramas leading up to racetime!
It is a matter of choice.

Cheers.

as Tawqeet won the caul cup... most people think its a lock.. That run did not convince me enough... Its like Railings last year.... flopped in the melb cup after the caul...

Hayes does play with your head because he talked up Growl winning the caul cup... and when tawqeet won, all of a sudden growl was forgotten..

Ususally his other horse wins.. like Unabated did to Benko today...

So... ill put a dollar on short pause...

:eek:
