A recent posting, (although I couldn't find it) was about crooked stables in Australian racing. It went along the lines of the Waterhouse & Hawkes stables (in particular) are crooked because of the number of times the longer priced of their starters wins. Well did anybody catch the result of the Irish Derby yesterday?? The Aga Khan owned 2 runners, the winner at 4/1 & second at 4/7f. Must have been rigged, and A O'Brien had 6 of the 9 runners in the race. His outsider ran 3rd at 150/1. Obviously they had stitched up the trifecta before the race.
I will now remove my tongue from my cheek & restate that just because the shortest price runner of a stable does not finish the best does not mean that racing is cooked. Or maybe it is, all over the world.

And if you're wondering why I'm looking at overseas results...it's because thay bet each-way when there's an odds on favourite, and if you don't understand the mathematical advantage in that then you should not be betting.
