I can't believe what I just saw in race 8, is everyone blind or have I lost it? WOW

The winner appeared to be travelling well enough to win in the 2nd half of the race. What did you see and what did everyone else miss?

Watch the drifter in race 5 Kenilworth, never given a chance ended 12/1 at jump

Strawberry Thief I gather.
More alarming for me is how the bookies actually get the information that a horse is a non trier or coming to the races in poor condition.
No ways will the bookies drift a Richard Fourie horse out to 12-1 from 28-10 if they didn't hear something.

Durbs, the bookies don't get info, they just don't take any money.. And then the faces will be all over others

......the bigger online bookies may not be getting any info nor brown bagging work riders/jocks etc.....but there are those that do.....so when the top dogs price up and make a certain jocks mounts way shorter.....it is the lack of money support from the brown bagger/s who in the know do not need to lay off any action.....I for one saw no need to include Fourie's mount as it had imo very little form appeal.... yet the commentator reconned that there was a hard luck story in running.....in other words making an excuse for it not running a place......but the major drift in betting looks to others rather suspicious.....
