PENNY FARE WTF!

12 years 11 months ago
#244785
How can this horse run so badly twice in a row then come and get touched off by 0,5 lengths today .

Last time i paid particular attention to the way this horse ran . It was handy in the early part of the race then in the final stages of the race it just slowed down gradually .

WHEN WILL THE NHA START POLICING THIS SPORT ? Anything goes at the moment .Racing is fat becoming a lottery .

Solo the horse has never run a bad race at Turffontein and altho it was major improvement I think the horses for courses theory is apparent here

How come we never see horses being suspended for inconsistency?

And has also run unplaced there 7 times...would you not say that on the strength of her last start @ Turffontein she had to be given a place chance???

She seems very inconsistent (at the Vaal track) and that is not good for racing...but persistently crying foul every time a horse disappoints/surprises is offside

She ran to erico's good filly two runs back ( see how strong that form is ) which to me indicated then, that she was in form . All of a sudden she runs two shockers , then bounces back today . Maybe something went wrong at home prior to those two starts , but we the punters were/are not informed .

To me THIS IS INCONSISTENT RUNNING .

That is the better question.

Penny Fare you could still find. Kings Castle no chance.

That was a big surprise GB and disappointed in myself that I never continued to follow this horse...when Muzi rode him in his 2nd start he told me that the horse gave him the feel of a horse that will win more than a few races, I then got the ride again and was disappointed with the run but kept on throwing him into bets in case and then gave up on him 2 runs back after a 15L beating :( he could pay to follow now that the "Penny" has dropped

I'm dead sure 10-15 years back horses were suspended for inconsistent running, this does not seem to happen anymore?

The question still stands, are the NHA policing the sport properly or at all? ...
