Gday All,

I find this topic pretty intersting. Over the weekend just gone I had the pleasure of being on course at the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. Can't reccommend the SSCST highly enough, what a great place to enjoy the races.

Now to the stuff about THAT bookie in Darwin, and his probs with Brisbane Racing It appears there is no form done by that mob but rather they follow. And heaven forbid you are consistent winner with this mob..

The race he questioned I thought wasn't that big a surprise. I had Never Sad at about 8 bucks 4th pick behind Moving, Perance and Sea Artist. I saw the Price of 12 bucks in the ring at GCST and took the 50% over. If I knew it was an over why didnt the expert in Darwin. ...If he had done his homework he would never have bet the horse at 12 dollars. ....I don't know if he was betting on the GCST races last Saturday, but if he was i would love to see what he made of the books in the ring having that last fav at 2.20 in about a 200% market and it paid $4+ on the tote. I am not sure that it even started fav on the tote. My point here is that the Bookies at the Coast HAD done their home work with LUX and were not taking chances. So you had to bet him on the tote where you got better than 4 bucks. They were bleeding fairly profusely from a Fav day at the Coast on Saturday and they sure as hell werent going to get stung again..
