The Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD) investigates the South African Police for devious doings. Who investigates the NHRA for wrong doing ? Sometimes there are inner circles in corporate companies, commissions and investigating bodies themselves. Just saying.

Is striker no going to comment on the tipping line anymore?

Mike, are you trying to say that this happens only in SA ? Pity you, if you are....
I see horses overseas that are not striding and don't see reports and pre race reports etc. Thats, unfortunately, racing...

What is interesting is hibs comment about horses not trying, second comment on this thread... what did you mean bob?

I'm not sure how that track is running - it reminds me of the way it ran 4 or so years ago - If you got to the front before the straight you would be hard pressed to miss a place - Winning distances were inflated and if you were not drawn well you were gone - Maybe LG can tell us how the track is running at the moment

What I meant was, that far too many horses being beaten gaps , meaning some must have not been ridden all the way to the line when beaten

striker doesn't condition the horse so why not blame the trainer - why striker - he just gives his honest opinion - now we must suffer cause he not gonna talk anymore - Striker we love u man - but not if u beat me on Zephira lol

Just saw the replay of striker dropping his lip and refusing to give his opinion, its leads me to thank the betting clan for spreading the message, we as the punter deserve to have our voices heard hopefully they will read the positive ideas on this forum as well

I do not blame striker if he gives his opinion he is crucified if he does not hiding info. I would have his view too nobody forces u to follow info do or don't

My conclusion on this chapter......................................

In another era I know what a few of the other top-notch conditioners would have done, put on an unfashionable jock or appie and the horse would have drifted out in the betting, run it's race early and no tantrums b'cos jockeys influence punter's.


P.S. Must add that jockeys influence Bookies pricing decisions plenty.

Agree on that. On winning ways, this was also mentioned that in KZN Marcus and Delpech mounts are priced up a few points shorter. IMO the the lack of info will often lead to the assumption that one is being misled. My personal view is that this remains a game of chance, a gamble, no matter how much info and form we have at our disposal. Horses can be unpredictable and difficult to read. eg. last Sunday Hammies Hooker went down to the start very short so much so that the commentator thought she would be scratched, she almost won the race.
