i enjoy the chase but am very wary of the game.
a story i was told from good authority.
a gang of punters had the good oil on a race at kembla and took the day off to plunge including the trainer.
the horse got 4th. after the race the explanation by the jockey was that when he got to the barriers he was informed it was not his turn.
the lost plunge couldnt be avoided due to the peers determining the result.
so the story goes.
the source is reliable (has the burnt fingers to prove it)
