Re: Turffontein, Saturday 12 March
3 years 3 months agoWith all due respect - and of course I'm talking from my pocket - Zillzaal should not be allowed to race again - won a 1400 down the Vaal straight a year ago, then finished 15 lengths behind Summer Pudding over 2000, this year finished 2nd behind MK's Pride over 1400 and followed that up beaten 14 lengths by Reunion over 1800 (granted on the Inside track) - then today less than a month later suddenly finds his best form to win :dry:
This imo is what is driving punters away - one could just as well try your luck on the Roulette wheel :huh:
Yep it is a hard pill to swallow as a punter, but it happens 1% of the time. More than often we can select freely and catch the winner...a loss = 1... a winner is at odds. I feel your pain there Frodo, it pisses me off too, no way you could select Zillzaal. But you did get it right with Del Fuego EW you are covered. Thats all that matters. Ignore, move on and keep working. Just my opinion.
Unfortunately TDF finished fifth - all 3 his stable mates beat him

Oh sherbet...I am not watching sorry. That is a nasty surprise indeed. Here is a deal...Lets post 5 minutes before the off and see if that helps...This sucks now I will have to spend 3 hours on a Saturday to see if it was graft or just my own stupidity or did I post too early? Either way it is a small little bump it the road.
