Thought I would beat Neil to the punch and point out what a disgrace the Gold Coast bookies were on Saturday. A certain high profile bookie was quoted as saying the betting on the day was a bit of a fizzer. Gee I wonder why? It must have been bad because it even got a mention in the press up here, quite unusual. Perhaps the more amazing aspect was that some horses actually firmed quite markedly even in these already tight markets. I would be interested to know if anybody was on track at the coast and could shed anylight on this farce.
