Seem to remember (though not 100%) thinking the inside was not the place to be late in that meeting Frodo, was willing him (Fradd on Adams Rock) to come more central. That is all, would have been weary of the same happening today (in general) if on the same course.

If there is one thing that really annoys me... and there's not one there's many lol... it is when you back a horse early at 33/1 and you get hit with a 30% deduction because of a scratching but within an hour the price reverts back to 33/1. WTF??? Just feels like you've been robbed :X

Will they not allow you to cancel the bet??

Funny Greg, someone mentioned cancelling a bet to me yesterday as well... and I have never heard of being able to cancel a bet in 30 odd years gambling prior to that! Must be an SA thing. Now been backed in to 16s anyway, Marsden Jack (think it went out to 28s rather than back to 33s but still aggravating).

The Vaal Turf isn't as biased draw wise as Kenilworth Scotsville and Clairwood
Generally your selection shouldn't be determined by its draw.
As Sherman once said
it rains across the track

A horse to debut over 1700m is always a worry hey.
Could win by ten or run out of the first 3.
Beware in exotics.

I think our trainers should debut horses over there true distance more often... Seems like a mindset here to give horses ''educational runs'' instead??

100% GB.. If a horse is meant to run 1600m, run ir over 1600m, not flipping 1000m

I'd also backed Marsden Jack and Two Ten Jack and I see my bets are subject to 35% deduction (on Bettingworld)
