Mystic the Carnival is definitely not overrated by some. It is a time for the leading Stables and leading jockeys to make big money. It is a time for the TABs and bookmakers to make big money. It is also a time for your average punter to lose big money. All the glitz is part of the bait to get the punters out there to bet up big and part with their money. You know the saying, "The rich get richer, the poor get poorer." That's what the glitz and glamour of the Carnival is all about.
