Interesting Race
Greetings to all,
Iomaca - goodonya! you identified a class performer which was well over the odds and ignored the general trend of the betting public, good luck to you.
Sportz - good bet! you were able to turn a profit from an "upset" result - keep doing that and you will survive in the long-run.
Gazman - it is an interesting statistic isn't it? The major stables and riders certainly get all the "cream" and the "battlers" have to be content with the "crumbs." Then again why shouldn't excellence be rewarded?
Let's face it...the Waterhouse stable certainly supports the country and provincial circuit especially at Newcastle, Gosford and Wyong where she takes her lesser lights and potentially promising candidates for an "easy" kill. Seriously, an astute punter can make a good living from following her runners at these venues as most are high class, high cost, well-bred individuals which are working their way through the classes before taking on the more elite opposition in town. To a lesser extent, the same applies for the Hawkes establishment so I suppose that, as far as benefit to the industry goes, the domination by the mega stables may not be such a bad thing.
Cheers.
