What most punters don't even realize is how often they are doing their money before races are even run,either by instruction from trainers who want to reduce ratings or jockeys/trainers giving them an easy so that the horse can be punted next time or the time to follow.

This case is easy to solve,it's just a case of how much time the jock gets.

The real problem the NHA faces is identifying those cases.

That is where the game really is crooked.

definitely the best post so far on this issue...we have approx. 4000 races a year multiply by an average of 10 runners per race and out of 40 000 rides our blind stipes cannot see when a horse is not given the best opportunity to gain the best possible position in a race ...there are a few jockeys out there in fact one in natal is so blatant that are giving horses a miss yet our blind stipes do absolutely nothing about it...

Probably fair

Hear there was a group of punters waiting for the decision to bring a civil case ?

Sure he has a honeymoon coming up so maybe work it around that ? Plus he usually rides twice or three times a week at this time of year so maybe misses 20 days racing ?
Still a big loss to his fans

In 2000 the U.S. electorate put a brain dead president into the White House and the world is still paying the price for that. Roseveldt was elected and he was in a wheelchair
