SR6,
there was a supposedly top rider who "buried" his mount back in the field amongst "traffic" and then he "got the split" and what did he do....?
He "put the brakes on" and the horse finished unplaced!
Mate, I didn't miss you!
Why do the media "pander" to such individuals?
You figure it out...!!!
People, study your videos and you will see what I mean...!!!!
For goodness sake...what are the officials doing...!!!!?

Cheers.

A certain commentator exclaimed today:
"How could that possibly win?"...!
He then went on to outline this hack's previous form and was left nonplussed!
Like the rest of us mate...the long suffering betting public!
I ask you..is it time for an ICAC officer to be appointed in every state?

Cheers.

MR3,
there was a "late go" for a certain runner which eventually won.
I was on No.7 the usurped PP favourite which ran 2nd and paid $1.4plNSW which equals a 16.67%POT so I am not "talking through my kick!"
No.7 missed the start and settled well back in the field and unleashed a solid run in the straight but the winner had too big a break.
However, I again ask the question: "how is it that the favourite or well-fancied runner misses the start on a disproportional ratio of racestarts?"
You will have to ponder this and work it out for yourselves.

Cheers.

I can't believe I stumbled across this post. Are these fair dinkum posts or a gee up. You can't seriously be this down all the time, why are you punting?

If everything you say is true, how is it possible for someone with no inside knowledge, contacts etc. to win.

As my son would say, "Chill dad".

Point taken,
however, I will always exercise my god-given/democratic right to express my opinion.
eg. BR7, this was a very controversial race and I feel it is something which may in the near future elicit discussion/controversy, being the very principles of this forum.
Contributors of differing views can express themselves in a civil manner and whilst not always agreeing can appreciate the views of other contributors.
Yes, sometimes I do play "devil's advocate" to elicit the very responses as you have so graciously provided.
As you can see from other threads, I am not always "negative"...rather, I am attempting to get people talking/expressing their views in a conciliatory manner.
Good to speak to you.
NB. on another note I am currently enjoying a brew from Millers, U.S.A. named "Chill" "Chelada style" which is similar to Corona....my advice ...give it a go...!

There is no doubt that you have every right to express your views and power to this country we live in.
Just a couple of things: Is it your contention that there is, on a regular basis, skullduggery and illegality going on in horse racing.
Do you invest on horse races and if so, why would you if you believe everything that you say on this thread. Surely a learned man such as yourself could find something a lot less nefarious than investing on crooked horse races.
Enjoy your beer, I have had one but I will stick to the locals.

I agree there was some controversy surrounding BR7.
But I will be interested to see what your take is on this one, because without wanting to give offense, you do tend to go over the top with the drama about these things.

Bob El Issa did stop riding, a stride or so before the post because he genuinely thought he had it won. Much the same as jockeys have done over the ages.

He has made a mistake .....

But the theme of a lot of your threads tends to suggest something crooked has happened. Honest mistake on this one.

Nothing too much here X, I'd forget it as a form race and move onto further profits.
