Mackay R3,
the favourite nearly falls at the start thereby taking no further part in the race......go figure....!
Again......it is the favourite......maybe laying them in Qld would be more profitable...but then again.....maybe, some "smarties" are already doing this.
As I've stated previously-if you continue to bet up there then be prepared for some meals at the St. Vinnies soup kitchen!
You work it out......hmmmm.

Cheers.

So it continues......!
SR1 4 Fizeau bungles the start and plays no further part in the race....why does it nearly always seem to happen to the favourite?.....you'll have to make your own mind up.
Fizeau did finish on very hard to the line although finishing unplaced..hmmm, maybe next start?
Keep an eye on him.
NB. I'm not talking through my "kick" as I also backed No.5 Universal Magic($4.6w$1.7plNSW).

Cheers.

SR3,

The favourite in a field of five runners, misses the start and tails out last yet usually leads or races in the leading bunch. If one was cynical he/she could reach the conclusion that this horse was ridden "upside-down."
Again, it happened to the favourite but that's racing isn't it......?
If this type of rubbish continues to be dished up to the betting public the consequences may be more dramatic than the repercussions of EI.

Cheers.

YOU DIDNT HEAR THE MAN OF CLASS RACE XANADU?


Missed it by 3-4 and won >> short priced fav.

How ever i do agree with some of your stuff. When you introduce a place where people can make money for a horse getting beaten then its a given that some will go that way.

I watch the money on betfair but again >> would be happier to see it dissapear

You lead the fight........i'll fetch the torches and be right behing you

Hey Xanadu if you want to smell the fishes have a look at MR4, no form, money on, kid rode like George Moore and gets the money. Must be the ocean air. Same kid MR2 rides like me on a pushbike after two days and nights on the turps. Go figure?????

King Cugat,
thanx for the support because if we do not hold the officials to account then this rubbish will continue. As I have stated forcibly in previous posts I believe that an ICAC officer should be appointed to the Steward's panel and he/she will act independently from that panel but report to that panel and the relevant Minister.....can anyone see any problems with that?
For example, the ICAC officer may decide to investigate the plethora of such incidents and decide this warrants further investigation.
Look at Hong Kong-where this system works in an exemplary manner.
No, I didn't hear that race - please explain.....(where have we heard that before)?
mjr,
that's OK, an excellent ride on a horse that was primed to win on the day and a credit to it's trainer.
However, as sure as night follows day....if you continue to support 3kg apprentices on topweights then your xmas dinner will be served by that excellent organizaion: the Salvos!
Have a good 'un!

Cheers.

The race involved the same kid ripping along the first 1000m in .7 seconds outside of Miss Andrettis track record, no wonder the horse finished at the tail of the field after that sort of effort. He then comes out and rides the perfect race on a horse that after its last two starts you could only back if you followed topweights or was partial to a horse being improved by the seaside air. I agree with you about backing 3kg apprentices,but when they put in two different rides like that in back to back rides they should be sent back to the provincials for more education or back to school to learn how to count.


AND BEFORE YOU SAY IT ''SOUR GRAPES'' MY BLOOD OATH

Last race Adelaide today, jockey gets pulled up fav so it could get beaten, was actually watching screen to make sure the other horse was coming, very similar to one K Fallon IMO

mjr,
Yeah, I know how you feel mate but all we can do is move on. I suppose with apprentices they just do what they are told to do.

discipline pays,
Yeah, I saw that race and the rider was given 2 months to contemplate his actions. Some commentators tried to justify the rider's actions by saying he was watching the infield big screen and it was an error of judgment....but he still gets his riding fee.....what do the punters get...a hole in their wallets!
Yes, it had a bit of the Kieran Fallon about it(it's always the fav).
Anyway..I suppose that we'll still back up today and tomorrow... etc

Cheers.

Good to see the jock in Adelaide get two months, also good to see young Hamilton get 8 meetings for knocking down the other to get to the lead. Maybe he will take the time to learn how to count. What I didnt say about the race was it looked like it was put on for the favourite, bute jock got caught on the fence and didnt quite make it just going down. Next time make sure everyone knows what is going on.
