Neft's Cleft - Blast from the Past
14 years 2 months ago
What was happening 2 years ago..
Santa is a dirty old man
Leon Setaro, 12/12/2008
Summertime and fresh succulence hangs delicately betwixt cleft of bended bough. If only for a kiss under the mistletoe we’d find fruits such as these. Emerald Cup day sure had its moments.. this is Inge Neft (pictured) the girl in the animal print bikini who had Tellytrack presenters confusing Cheetahs with Leopards in the fluster.
School’s out boys and girls and the year-end 'derailing to madness' teeters on hell’s rollercoaster apex - Xmas debauchery is about to rapture you rudely from behind mmmph! Gluttonous, lustful, cram your mouthful; it’s the cardinal climax of flesh and form and society revels in the mockery of it all. But you can only play if you get a job, work hard, owe money, buy things you don’t need, ignore the starving masses you don’t feed, ego, power, avarice and greed. Have a fantastic clucking festive season and drive safely – speed kills.
So what’s new at the races in KZN these days.. Deez has gone for a holiday to India, expect Sheldon Pieters to fill in for him on ‘Under Starters Orders’ for the next couple of weeks. On the racetracks; facilities are being brightened up with surface remodeling and a coat of paint, some new slosh on offer at the ground level punters’ feeding trough, and Greyville still boasts a queue of firm young upskirts hanging around the jockeys’ tack room, no doubt fighting with the penis enlargement salesman for first right of passage.
As for the rain cloud over Summerveld, it’s still there. Comparative strike rate for Summerveld versus ‘the others’ (Clairwood, Ashburton and private training facilities in the midlands) continues to rift and it could be weeks before the playing fields return to balance.
3 meetings KZN (26th, 29th Nov, 3rd Dec)
Training facility - Runners - Winners
Summerveld - 139 - 11
Clw/Ash/Pvt - 112 - 13
Strike rate ratio :
Clw/Ash/Pvt 1.47:1 Summerveld
3 meetings KZN (5th,7th, 10th Dec)
Training facility - Runners - Winners
Summerveld - 167 - 10
Clw/Ash/Pvt - 137 - 15
Strike rate ratio :
Clw/Ash/Pvt 1.83:1 Summerveld
Clairwood last Wednesday and Race 8 delivered a glaring example of the deficit. A stayers’ race over 2800m (fitness critical) and Puller Racing’s Sauron and Tutuzela, both formless and trained at Clairwood, fought out the finish leaving the field of Summerveld competitors languishing 7 lengths back in their muddy wake. This is the race where the bottom 3 in the betting filled the top 3 positions at the finish line - Lotto offers a quick pick and so should we!
SA’s flagship race course Greyville – exclusive home of the Vodacom Durban July and night racing in SA.
If Vodacom Durban July is the high, then this week-end’s Saturday night meeting is the surely the low, and what a shocker for punting! Bewildered before and no doubt bewildered afterwards too; with a card like this I’m going to take a Xmas breather and offer a quick mention of the most innovative and groundbreaking sites of 2008 :
Racing News
www.freeracer.co.za
Sets the standard in balls-to-the-floor journalism - there’s no rulebooks here, no yes sir, no sir colonial boarding school tell me how to talk and dress sir. Just the news, the controversy, and the freedom to say it like it is. A book of big name writers deliver the inside views on racing, politics, entertainment and sports – there is only one Freeracer!
Bookmakers
www.interbet.co.za
No contest! Odds/value is everything and there’s no disputing that best prices rule the punting roost. This is the definitive bookmaker trading hub in South Africa where the real money goes down and the big-boys trade amongst each other. It’s the VIP lounge for betting professionals and it’s open to punters so cash-in on the lowest trade margins in the land. Last season’s J’nB Met saw over R1million traded on Pocket Power alone on the Interbet exchange; the bigger the turnover, the lower the Bookies' exchange trading margins - the bigger the stretch for Joe Punter. If you’re not betting with Interbet then you’re taking on an insurmountable task trying to beat the 25% house advantage of everywhere else.
The Interbet trading page
Trainers
www.mikebassracing.com
This site sets the standard for stable information and there is simply no other like it. View each Bass runner online; see the pics, read the mini biography of each horse etc. There’s comprehensive pre and post race comments, it’s all about transparency and quite clearly these guys understand the business of racing and who the customer is. Can we envisage a day in the distant future when all trainers offer this same bouquet?
Collateral form
www.formgrids.co.za
Fast, brilliantly conceived, unique and a must for form studiers. Regularly upgraded with new add-ons and features, this site deserves a technical award
Enjoy the week-end and merry punting.
