Just heard Nico say that tote bets need to be cancelled before 1st race otherwise bets will stand...suggest that you call tote and have bets cancelled as I don't think it is an automatic process...

not ideal for everyone (uk bets cant be cancelled ) but least the guys that are watching have a chance to cancel bets

but what about the guys that punted this morning and have no access to TT etc?

There are some outstanding bets (in theory ) if they run off the existing weights!

Hope they decide to race. Even if it is on the grass. It will make today's racing interesting. But the jocks and the stipes in the highveld are kind of predictable... Probably won't race.

So, they decided to race :woohoo: Just hope the rain will go away.

Good observation. Worth a small P6 I reckon. For the record, some forum posters here (me included) mock Ngong.....but any overseas viewers watching our racing these past few weeks probably feel exactly the same about our racing

the old jokes in the shopd, do the lions not eat the horses will be back soon

this is on TV in the UK today ha ha ha ha ha

and all the bookies opened early

all my bets null and void now. I just spoke to bookie. he said revised betting will be out soon, but there seems to be plenty scratchings due to the trainers not wanting to run their sand horses on the turf.
