Argo Jewel Bad so bad for racing

no matter how nice it is for a yard to have a winner.

The NHA has an obligation to look after the integrity of racing.

so so bad

What happened there bud?

I just think it was a shite field ( no disrospect ) and it improved for the move to poly, there was about an inch between 1st and 6th if i remember correctly

The problem is that the NHA allows a trainer to have 5 horses stay training. 100/1 shots happen on a regular basis.
what leaves a bad taste is when a perception is created that this is acceptable.
a trainer has 13 runners entire season but is allowed to get away with 100 shot.

wrong

The highest rated horses (of those with an official rating) were Jacaranda Flower and Runaway Time on 49. Jacaranda Flower finished third beaten two noses, so if she ran to her merit rating, then the winner has only run to 50 at most. Argo Jewel was also running for only the third time, had never tried polytrack before and had a good draw. Her starting price was 100/1 and she paid 66/1 on the tote, so there doesn't seem to be any evidence of a betting coup. For what it's worth, my guess is that her connections were as surprised as anyone else by the result. I didn't have a bet in the race and, if I had been given a dozen free picks in it, I wouldn't have included her, but upsets happen, especially in low grade races.

'Shite', pish', eisch!

so in your opinion stables with 5 horses is good for racing and helps disprove the perception of corruption in racing when they have 110/1 winners.

so if you got 200 horses in your yard and you have 100 to 1 winners then that's alright?its simple as rob faux says all the time apply the rule of inconsistent running whoever the trainer or owner is ..there are plenty times trainers have winners at huge prices and they have more fancied runners in the same race so is that ok?their last winner started at 9 to 2 ....if mrs Wilmot meets the requirements of the jockey club why shouldn't she be allowed to train horses if that's her passion in life..she isn't harming anyone..there are plenty trainers out there with 60 to 100 horses who are so far in debt that they the people that should be closed down but get protection for reasons I will not divulge...

maybe the bha should close aiden o brien down for winning the oaks with a 50 to 1 no hoper and the least fancied of his coupling or the Australian equivalent shouldn't have given the taxi driver a license for his one horse who turned out to be a champion..

Or the guy that won the Cheltenham Gold Cup, sure he had 3 winners lately all from the same Mare

The sire produces horses that take to the poly...had a good draw...first time on surface...weak field...3rd career run.
