Ladies and Gentlemen your help please

I live in the country Victoria and don't have access to city newspapers until almost midday everyday.

I therefore have difficulty in getting opening prices other than online.

Most major city newspapers have racing pages online but i never seem to be able to get the 5 major city racemeetings in one paper.

Are the opening prices consistent across all newspapers?

Is there a racing site (free) on the internet where I can find opening prices which are comparable to the city newspapers? I have seen the ************** site. How does that sites opening pricesmeasure up?

Your assistantance would be appreciated.

Regards
Ted

Hi Ted,
you can get all paper prices at the Herald Sun -

Hope that helps,

Thanks Den

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I get the Herald Sun online as well as a paper later in the day but I find that it does not contain all the races meeting for say, a Saturday.

Maybe I need to look individually at each States main sporting paper containing the form guides?

How good are the weekly newspapers devoted to just horse racing eg The Winning Post and their opening prices (if they have them) in comparison to the daily form guides?

Any comments please people?

Regards
Ted

if you check the 2 links supplied and compare say pakenham r1 today you will notice that there is a significant difference between the pre-post odds quoted

as to which is the better -- i wouldn't have a clue

at a guess i'd say that the pre-post odds are computer generated and don't necessarily reflect the actual market (money)

whereas, the "official" bookmaker opening price does reflect the early market and is consistant -- these are readily available from various bookmakers approx 15 minutes before jump -- i think that IAS might be an exception in that their opening prices are proprietary

good luck!

i also would be interested in what others have to say

a slight tangent, but I did heaps of research a few years back on pre post prices,

the conclusion was that overall the performance in terms of winners was almost exactly the same as the actual fav. even though in some cases the nags were different (if you see what I mean)

The important thing though is to always use the same source for the pre post fav, I use www.ozbet.com i.e. WA Tab Form (on line) whos' pre post prices are from commercial ratings converted to prices so I'm told.
