It hasn't been deleted - just moved to the Topic you created on the subject. See below. As for whether it would have won or not you have no evidence to the contrary. But you appear to be confused between horse welfare and punter welfare. I guess you punted on a horse that didn't finish first or second - perhaps the third horse? -

I've been following the south island gallops closely for a year or so now and personally i think the overall standard of riding is better than it was a year or two ago.From a betting perspective i think the tactical decisions of the jockeys is easy enough to follow and your not left disappointed like you used to so often be in a riders decsions. all the riders seem to be more consistent. The apprentices seem to be showing a bit more initaitive and the older riders seem to ride the same each week. There are some of the older riders that do seem over cautious in what they think may be going to happen in front of them and seem to ride like they are worried a bit about their safety. B Murray in particular. You can tell the horses he rides get the message to switch off mostly when he gets amongst the field,but also the likes of T mosely and even the souths best jockey k williams i think does if she gets amongst the field.She of course is so good in getting handy early or positioned on the outer that you don't see it as much.And when the gallopers are getting that message,they tend to run accordingly.Both mosely and williams rode winners yesterday and rode them well,just the one i backed that mosely rode you could just ignore it went around. Hopefully he gets them next time.Its very obvious too that the better riders are the ones who like to race handy and show a touch more aggression early. K bakker and f moerman both went from being quite average to being the better riders recently. And it simply seemed to come down to them having gained enough confidence to trust in their own abilty to judge a race and i think not worry about a trainer having a moan about not getting the perfect run sometimes.Their recent results cleary show that. and i think invercargill is a track where they have too many in some races. Its a track that ii think should only have 12 starters at most. Run another race instead of having 14 starters. having said all that,yesterday i had just the 4 bets,all 4 missed the start and settled last,3 chose to go on the inside and simply never got a run or got out far too late and the other resented being restrained when on the outside,but at least the jockey tried to give it a chance and made a move,unlike the other 3 who early on you could tell had put themselves in a position where they couldn't. actually the jockey,y yeatchamach,no idea whether i spelt that correctly,i had commented about a year ago how poor he rode and how poor the a carston horses were ridden tactically and that i thought that was because they maty have been getting instructions that were making the riders more worried about doing nothing wrong than doing things right. Well, y yatchamah has improved in a big way and seems to be thinking for himself since not riding as many for carston.. And a carston has gone more into putting jockeys on who ride to win than wait for next month and his results have improved again. He is a very good trainer. anyway,thats my thoughts for a sunday morning. -
That sort of shit here goes on all the time, especially early in races, eliminates other horses chances and is ignored or met with a slap on the hand. No wonder that Entain are getting tired of NZTR's performance. -
