Are all Pre Posts created equal?
 

Had reason, in the last couple of days, to compare the Pre Post prices as published in the Telegraph and **************.com.

They're DIFFERENT at times, why, both supplied with prices from AAP Megaform?

I took it up with manager of AAP Racing and the answer was:

"Whilst newspapers take our prices, they may adjust them if they desire. The Tele would probably tinker with race prices if they feel something is too short or long in the market accordingto their racing staff".

Now I replied, " but what about Corowa today, I wouldn't think anyone would bother tinkering with that race meeting?"

If Corowa is a Dead Track I,m a Dutchman.
Disgusting slackness by the Stewards.

Commentator says it's heavy but caption on screen still says dead 4.

Thanks Speedyben.

Perhaps they're running the mtg without stewards.

The unique thing about Corowa is that no-one, and I repeat NO-ONE (locals I'm talking about here !!!) uses their blinkers to indicate. They drive at about 40kmh in a 100kmh zone and do left hand turns from right hand lanes without indicating or looking. Been through there heaps and it's always the same !!! So the track condition could have been left over from the previous meeting .....

BTW, how's the tulip farming going there DD???????????

Having a ball at Corowa - couldnt give a rats what the track rating is:)

That is quite funny, Barny, but scary also. I live in a semi rural area about 35km from Perth central. The fav trick of the locals here is to roll through Stop signs. Used to scare me but now I know where all the Stop signs are I'm ready for them.

Oh dear !! Wrong town, it's Cobram that's the disastrous driving centre of Aust. Anyway, I live up NE Vic so I'm probs just as bad ..... lol !!!!!! ;)

I found the same thing when I was looking at pre-post markets for my system. I was looking at 3 sources, the West, the Telegraph and Racing and Sports. The West and Telegraph were almost identical, with only slight differences with the favourite. The Racing and Sports market was very different at times.

Hi Barny,
The indicator issue is rampant in my hometown too.
I,m sure people dont know cars have them.

Weather in Holland around 65 F.The locals are on the beach sunbaking.

Thanks Brett for getting this thread back on track.
Who ever tinkered with the Corowa Pre Post prices new what he was doing as it was another 4 Lay winners for me as opposed to 4 no bets???......lol

Corowa was the only race meeting tinkered with.

So which of all the available markets is the original?

And while we are on the topic, why are the pre-post figures from the racing and sports site so obscure. For example the pre-post price for Top Glory in Taree Race 1 was 0.78 It is not a huge issue for me as I only rank the odds for my system. Just interest I guess.

Cheers

Brett

From what I can work out Brett **************.com prices are verbatim AAP Megaform who provide the prices to most of the media. APN provide the official on course bookmakers prices. R&S are independent.
