Well, the "Saturday crowd" as I personally describe these "tipsters" again failed to deliver. Their "specials" failed to salute the judge and one of their "lays" duly saluted, so, if they actually backed their own recommendations they would be broke in a very short space of time.....then again there is "arbitrage" isn't there?
Moral Of Story: Punters, please have faith in your own selections and support them accordingly........you will get better value!
On another note: I monitored a review program once and the panelist admitted that he rarely bets....well, what can I say.....it's like buying a motor vehicle from a used car dealer who had never driven a car!

Cheers

The affable commentator stated that "we did our money in the first(Syd) but I guarantee that we'll get it back in the 2nd: SR2 5 Memorisation.
Well, it ran like a dromedary!

Cheers.

MR6 1 Polar Bear was a "MASSIVE" media push and hopefully no smart punters "fell" into this abyss-but, I am sure some "mug" punters did their money although all the signs were always there to "steer clear."
Some punters will never learn!

Well, there was a "goose" at it again the other day bringing out all the cliches and speaking on matters which are way beyond him considering, as he conceded himself- he does not bet.
We will call him "postage stamp" from now on because as a "wise" observer once noted:"his knowledge about punting could be recorded on the back of a postage stamp."

Cheers.

Oh dear.........,

Did anyone else hear the rant from a certain commentator berating the rule that connections are required to advise stewards and the betting public of a change in riding tactics?
He stated:..."why should they have to tell anyone....!" In his opinion if the stewards believe it was not ridden correctly they can take appropriate action.
Well, mate we punters live in the real world!
In this particular race the horse in question was ridden contrary to advertised tactics and duly saluted but the public were advised it was to be ridden in a completely different manner!
Yes, there should be a inquiry when such instances occur because the very people who pay your "fat" salary are those people/punters who should be protected from potentially dubious/suspect activities.
Now. go back to "Planet Zergon" or whatever planet you are living on because you definitely do not reside in the "real world!"

Cheers.

Within a very short space of time, twice, I have witnessed a well-respected long-term race-caller nominate the wrong horse in a close finish.
I acknowledge that race-calling is a particularly demanding job but equally, it is very disconcerting to those punters whose runner is being incorrectly called.
Perhaps it is time to give this "trouper" a gentle tap on the shoulder(NB. not NSW).

Cheers.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A POSITIVE POST:-
Could I suggest that the ubiquitous Andrew Bensley be given his own program on TV. I have never witnessed a more informative "news-hound"/journalist, who provides the betting public with the absolute latest updates and information.
He is concisive, informative and does not resort to the "giggles" and cheap "white-anting" that some other less proficient commentators resort to, in attempting to "bring him back to the field."
Andrew, whose mobile phone must at times be in melt-down, continues to bring the pertinent news to the betting public, for which we will be eternally grateful. When does he get time to sleep............?
Could I suggest that other "hosts" take note and understand that the betting public do not want "pub comedians".....we want incisive, thorough reporting and there is none better than Andrew Bensley to provide the betting public with pertinent industry news.

Cheers.

He is a regular reporter on Skychannel and NSW racing radio 2KY! I presume he is also heard on 2KY's sister station in Victoria.
Have a good one.

Cheers.

Cheers.
