I'm fed up with poor rides by hopeless jockeys at country tracks.

I think I should give up betting except on metro tracks, Wed. and Sat. I'm getting a bit sick of watching atrocious planning, poor and even just plain dumb maneuvers and watching them position their mounts with either no where to go, or getting a good sit far too late to do anything with it because they have worn the horse out getting there.

Yes there are some good country jockey's and a few good ones visiting from town, but for every one of those there are heaps that do nothing except get in their way [as often as they can].

If the ************s could ride well, they would be riding in town. As it is they are a traffic hazard with the occasional good run they just fluke. Why bother handicapping country races? Just get out the bl.... darts !!!

Don't hold back, crash. Tell us what you really think.

Who did you lose on Crash?

OK, a few good city riders have bad runs but these country boys do it with a consistency that is breathtaking !!!

Run country meetings without jockeys. Just starve the runners for 3 days and and let them chase a bale of hay like a greyhound lure. It would sure make handicapping a lot easier.

Or stick to the jockey my old mate / buddy /pal KENCHAR recommends A Robinson.

Cheers.

Spriggsy and/or our old mate Greg aint too bad either.

Astute thinking guys [just back the good hoops].
It's a wonder that 95% of all other punters came up with that brain-wave too. That's why the odds on these good hoops are usually crap and way unders. To make it worse they lose often enough to make the short odds not worth taking because all the other hoops [some paid] make sure they do everything possible to get in their way or box them in and succeed often enough to make them poor bets in the long run [check the maths of following any good hoop's rides in the bush, you would go broke even if it's Greg Childs], or they are just getting paid enough by a desperate owner to ride a donkey that won't win unless God is in the saddle anyway.

I might stick to the metro's for any serious bets for awhile. At least till I calm down 8-)
