Default Wodonga Quaddie programming

Anyone having a crack at the quaddie at Wodonga?
Check out the 1st leg.
A $20000 2y.o. maiden. Six 1st. starters, all untrialled in public.
If ever there was any doubt that rank and file punters are treated as absolute fools, then this programming removes all doubt.
When Supertab moved the quaddie legs to the last 4 races on the programme, there was a general feeling that maiden races would no longer be part of this form of betting.
Lo and behold at Yarra Valley on monday. up pops a maiden race in the 1st leg and up pops an unraced, untrialled in public 5yo, at odds of around $26-00.
A nice start to the quaddie for those with inside knowledge.
Today at Wodonga, a C1 where horses have revealed form has been overlooked in favour of the 2yo maiden.
It seems race clubs are being dictated to by the TAB regarding their programming to swell the quadrella pools and turn them into as much of a lottery as possible.
