entrenched and hugely damaging to the reputation of racing. Who is to blame - the JC for not enforcing a system which ensures a trustable product? or the actual participants - trainers, jockeys, owners? Australia recently enforced law/procedure to alleviate this kind of thing - is posted elsewhere on this forum, it is far to easy in SAF to manipulate by trainers/connections of a first timer that is so obviously being outrode for monetary gain.
what exactly are the reasons for not wanting to set up barrier trials and reporting on such?
examples - look at these odds....
KW 12/07
CAPTAIN BAGG, VARBRATION, LADY COUGAR
VAAL 24/04 - GOLDEN GLOBE,backed from 50/1 to 28/10 to 6/1 at close, won unextended.
to name a few.
Surely the JC can see there is something suspicious about this and investigate? (bringing racing into disrepute and all that), or the operators - surely they can intervene and realise it is affecting their turnover? Or the trainers - surely they realise this kind of conduct is affecting their livelihood?
