John Finlayson wins Interbet ROI comp week 4


Popular race horse owner and a 'voice of reason' to the industry John
Finlayson, has won the R2k prize for week 4 of Interbet's ROI
competition.
John is a small punter who looks for value on his selections and had
this to say, 'With the introduction of Interbet I really enjoy the ease
of taking small bets and getting great odds. I pick a horse I like, work
out what I feel are good odds and then use the 'request odds' option on
Interbet to request the price I want.. sometimes you get it sometimes
not, it's all part of the fun. If I don't get the odds I'm looking for I
don't take the bet, you won't believe how often this works out as a
money saver! Last Friday night I liked a horse Bonito trained by Wendy
Whitehead, a top stable in my opinion and Duncan is a great guy so I
follow his horses. 6yr old Bonito went into the race a 4x time winner
with solid form up against predominantly 3 yr old, 1x time winners under
the lights. Whilst trading on course at 10/1, there was 20/1 available
on Interbet which I took and this probably won me the comp'

John's passion and involvement in racing goes back to his days as
bookie's runner in Durban, a job he landed straight out of high school.
This paid his way through University and following his army service,
John went on to work in the Pharmaceutical industry. It was here that he
become involved in racehorse ownership with a group of Durban based GPs,
Herman Brown and Jean Hemming.
John picks up the story, 'We had a lot of fun racing in those days and
I've remained in the game ever since. As an owner I do a lot of reading
on the latest developments in the training of racehorses. In my
profession I am fortunate to work with top cardiac, respiratory and
orthopaedic physicians and although humans race on two legs and horses
on four, there are many parallels between them when applying the
processes of bringing an athlete to peak. To me the most exciting
developments in training today are the use of treadmills together with
cardiac output monitors, walkers, and the benefits they bring to the
management of training programmes. There's also very recent work being
done on racehorse VO2 max pictures, and the early establishment of each
individual horse's ability to move the max volume of oxygen into the
body during exercise.

John, thanks for sending through the info and congratulations on your
success - long may it continue.


Kotzen stable coup! - Time to Travel in the colours of John
Finlayson, comes home lonely at Clairwood earlier this year after being
backed in from 14/1 to 33/10 favourite.
