    • so the tab restricts taking bets from known winning punters. But they take the same bet from everyone else. so its the person making the bet who is targeted,not the actual bet. i understand why you may think that is best practice,i may not agree with it,but i understand it. but,your comments linking that to greater tab profit,well its not as simple as that. if profit is the priority like you say it should be,then you need to have more flexible thinking. because as i have pointed out many times,the tab may reduce the losses on the ff by restricting winning ff punters,but if those same punters use those profts generated to invest on tote pools, then by resticting the ff profits,you most likely will impact their spending on the tote pools.Its just the way it works. i've given specific examples several times in the past to explain how it can actually play out. For some reason people will still always argue its black and white,in other words restricting winning ff punters leads to greater tab profit,when clearly that isn't always the case. And thats also without even factoring in winning ff punters  using some of their profits to participatie in other areas of the industry like ownership,breeding, sponsorship.

    • After returning to Hong Kong from a horrific trip back to Australia to fight the Longwood bushfire at his family’s property, the sight of Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress) would have been a welcome one for David Hayes on Monday morning. Hayes says Ka Ying Rising has the capabilities to be a champion miler given how well he breathes but will avoid that temptation and keep him to the sprint trips. The world’s best sprinter galloped at Sha Tin on Monday morning as he prepares to have his first start for 2026 in the Group 1 Centenary Sprint Cup at Sha Tin on January 25, where victory would see him equal Silent Witness’ 17-race winning streak. “He blew the smoke away today, it was very nice,” Hayes said. “He had a little easy gallop… he’s trialling on Thursday. It’s hard to say he’s improving but he hasn’t gone backwards, I can assure you.” Following his assignment in the Centenary Sprint Cup in less than a fortnight, Ka Ying Rising will then head to the G1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup over 1400m, a trip Hayes expects the five-year-old to be impressive over. Overall, Ka Ying Rising is likely to follow an identical program to what he went through in 2025 and is already at $1.85 with Sportsbet to defend his title in The Everest in October.
