If anyone needed further evidence of the pitfalls of betting in Qld they need look no further than Ipswich R4 today(19.7.06). A well fancied runner gets out of the barrier in a reasonable position then finds itself in third last place. At about the 8oom it is ridden hard to regain ground on the leaders then goes"via the cape" on the home turn before tiring and finishing about midfield.
Unlucky run.....?
I will watch with interest what the stewards have to say.
As I have reiterated on numerous occasions....if you choose to wager in Qld then you do so at your own risk. As for me.......leave me out....I'll do my wagering mainly in Melbourne where the competitive nature of racing and the accompanying value for punters provides the bettor a fair chance of returning a profit.
Cheers.
