Well the virtual formguide which I thought would be my salvation failed the Sunday test. Same jockeys are blank in this as they are in the RSB fields.
I thought all was well when I went to Sportingbet and found that the missing jockeys were all in place and there were apprentice allowances in brackets after them. Wrong again. Some of the apprentice allowances are out of date and they are giving too much allowance to some apprentices.

Horse racing is supposed to be all about handicapping. It's based on putting known weights on a horses back. I can't believe that I am unable to reliably find out on the net what weight a horse will be carrying in any given race.

Does anyone know who is the source of all official weights and riders for Australian racing? There has to be an ultimate arbiter of these things - a source for this most basic of information on which to base a bet.

Waiting hopefully,
KV
