    • There will be a Hong Kong flavour to Thursday’s Group One Ascot Gold Cup (3,991m) at Royal Ascot but local owner Boniface Ho Ka-kui will no doubt be realistic about the chances of Wonder Legend in a race packed with crack stayers. Trained by James Ferguson with Daniel Muscutt to take the ride, Wonder Legend brings winning form into the race but finds himself on the fifth line of betting in overseas fixed-odds markets at around $34. Leading the way is the Aidan O’Brien-trained Illinois at $2.75,...View the full article
    • That had me flummoxed too
    • i've been out today,but just had a look at your tip of johns boy,2nd,beaten  by a nose. the place dividend of $2.70 nice so i hope you backed it each way. i will keep an eye on the trotter you mention. Actually you've been tipping gus to win the interdominion. The way he came home last week i think you could be right.he certainly went as good as oscar bonavena, i have seen him break a few times in the past,but he does seem in the zone at the moment. As to imperial command. yes he won,but I  feel a bit sorry for the horse as he seems to try hard ,but will the trainer keep him going if he doesn't improve? Watching todays replay,he currently looks like he did over here in his last couple of runs. Not in the right head space and trotting like there may be a reason for that.I saw nothing today to make me change my mind about what i said,when i said  i couldn't understand why so many people wanted to pay so much money for him on gavel house. Today he was in a 0-3 win race and i thought he just fell in. He again looking risky early but managed to hold it together when very hard held in the score up,then was handed the lead on a plate,set a slow pace with a 66 second middle quarter,then clung on,appearing to be all out to do so. There were 7 starters in that race with the outsider who broke and gave him a 50m start, still challenging hard when it broke at the 150m.  i will keep watching to see if he can improve,and yes he did win,but i think maybe he needs spelled for a year or so to see if it helps. 
    • In the case of boys get paid I think Entain are using this as a marketing ploy rather than letting them win an obscene amount of money. If they started winning regularly then pretty sure the bets would dry up. Being known to the business, betting big and winning regularly is a sure fire way to get cut off immediately.
    • Absolutely!  If this punter has been known to lose big bets in the past then they would be welcomed to place big bets with open arms. It would depend on a few things. Amount of liability in the pool on other runners. The success rate of the punters previous bets. If the punter was an owner of the horse they would be afforded some special treatment and also a few % over the figure quoted, so they might get 3.50 instead of 3.20 as an example depending on a few things like if they were already in an élite program with Entain. The TAB loss could have been higher than 80K if this was the case.
