can you ask them all at once???

2-10 hours a week...but that's nowhere near enough

:(

All of them. Throw in NZ & HK also. It's diversifying the risk if there's bad weather on the east coast there is always racing in perth or internationally.

10 to 15
Good thing about those venues is depth limited and pretty much same horses all the time.Rather bet place mostly,there's always one to knock you off!

Melbourne and Perth.

I was betting in Sydney as well, but stopped some time ago, when I found out that I could not bet with any confidence there.

Anyone still betting in Sydney, be very careful.

If you are not sure why, Madam Nash last Saturday. Another brilliant front running ride by J.Cassidy. No history of wrongdoing with him. Anyone remember the jockey tapes? Waller stable mate backed into short priced fave wins the race. Punters happy, Stewards happy, nothing wrong with the ride, only those who backed MN not happy with the ride. Stiff cheddar punters.

Good to see the Sydney Stewards have everything so well under control.

As Pittsburgh Phil and Eric Connelly, one a big USA punter, another the mastermind behind the Amounis PharLap double in 1930 which netted 200,000 pounds both said. "Money lost, nothing lost, confidence lost, everything lost".

How many states they got in Aust, South Africa, UK, France....? I'll have all of the above thanks Eddie, lock it in!

Bookielover, just have a look at the ride on Carnegie Express in the AJC Derby. For the record, I live in Sydney and stopped betting there 25 years ago!

therealkramer · February 2014

@bookielover- I recall rival jockeys being questioned back in june(Randwick 8/6/13) when Madam Nash opened up a big lead(12 lengths midrace) after it was backed $9-$5. MN was still 8 lengths clear turning for home. Ran a class record, with 59kg and still had 3 lengths on them at the finish. That is the horse's racing pattern whether it suits the stablemate or not. Jim Cassidy was pretty effective on Kencella leading all the way last Saturday(same race card), incidentally.

Madam Nash is going like a cat, how it was in the market was amazing, the winner should have won the previous start and went from D Thornton to Nash worth a minimum of 5 lengths improvement on rider alone.

Secondly the races Madam Nash won were very average events in the middle of winter, not ridden much differently from the way it's normally ridden in those sort of events but in saying that there's not much doubt it was acting as a pacemaker, but the fact remains it would have been run over by the ambulance anyway, doesn't make it right but if you couldn't read the play there beforehand you need to take a good long hard at yourself.

The winner also showed at its previous start that it has returned a much better horse than it was in the spring.

Carlosa · February 2014

I predominantly punt in the state of misplaced confidence...

therealkramer · February 2014

Maybe they should send Madam Nash down to Melbourne? If any of Waller's horses need a pacemaker, it's He's Your Man.

bookielover · February 2014

TRK, Andrew said it all about MN's form in the Winter against inferior horses when she was at her top in Winter.

I have no doubt that Waller plays with a straight bat because he has too much to lose and was lucky to not be rubbed out over a couple of positives last year.

Just keep your eye on Betfair and compare the price in the ring with what the layers are prepared to give you, then look at whose riding the horse.

Having said all that, I'm backing the stewards because they can find no fault with some of the rides in Sydney and the fact that the horses have been laid for plenty on the Fair. And they must know what they are doing, don't they?

notapunta · February 2014

Two states, pissed and sober.

therealkramer · February 2014

Come on, Bookielover we know you love it when favourites go under so I have no doubt you were betting around the favourite or at the very least pulling on its tail. Waller is more concerned with prizemoney than being a punting stable so I'm not sure he would be thrilled that Madam Nash didn't pick up a cheque, nor would the owners of that horse-different from the winner.
As for Sydney racing, there is more than a whiff of something going on in Sydney with lengthy suspensions dished out to Serg Lisnyy & Glyn Schofield over alarming riding tactics. The no nonsense manner in which they dealt with Chris Parnham seemed a little over the top but I have more faith in Ray Murrihy than any other lead steward around the country. Some of the protests upheld in Melbourne were a disgrace-if you bet there you'd want to hope you're set with the corporates who offer protest payout because the TAB & on course punters are getting screwed.

Don't like backing them under at least $3.50, but if I think one is over the line, I will go as low as $3.00, therealkramer. Not because of my nom de plume, but I reckon that in the long run, you go broke backing shorties.

The tendency is to have far more on short priced horses than on longer priced ones. For example, if a horse is $2.50 and you think its a special, most punters, and you can vary the amount to your own bet size but I will use $400 as the amount, would have $400 on it to win $600, assuming that the $400 is their usual betting amount if they think a horse is a good thing.

You can bet your life, that the same punter who has done the form and come to the conclusion that a $21.00 shot is a special, will not have the $400 that he would have had on it, if it is $2.50. He will probably have $100 on it, maybe $200 at a pinch.

99% of punters are like that, and that's why 99% of punters don't win in the long run because they never get value for their hard work in doing the form. Why it is so, I really can't say, but it's been the same for most punters ever since I've been going to the races.

As far as Sydney racing goes, yes some jockeys have been rubbed out, but one in particular has not been, and another is not far behind him, and he should have been rubbed out many times.

Just as well the $1.30 chance got up in the first last week, or we would be having a 15 page thread about its defeat. Because I can't prove anything and don't want to get sued, I'm not saying anything more.

But, by all means TRK, don't let anything I say influence you, and keep placing your faith in Ray. Unfortunately, I don't share your faith.
