Everyone wins in the Spring. That's when the TAB controlled media is at its best - listen to the radio or watch TV and be told "There's fantastic value in the race, no mattter what you back." Be told "Fancy getting $10.00 about such good horses as these."

With so much value around, how can punters possibly lose???

We of course know who are the real winners in the Spring. Let's start with the VRC who run the Melbourne Cup Carnival, let's add some wealthy trainers, wealthy jockeys, wealthy owners, TABs and on it goes....

As for punters - well, you're meant to enjoy yourselves, have fun, and of course bet up, bet up and bet up.
