so according to tonights results, they aren't paying any extra for running 5th. So maybe that does mean they will lose a point if they run 5th? -

Four Wise Women opening $4.60 and out to 31.00 WTF is that all about. Yes the trial was ok but that was against horses who would be 101 or above in this field. Was always going to be double figures closing. Wow can not wait for the grass track racing.. -

😂 for sure. I think a lot of the horses that race all year QLD (or those regional centres) these days have to win 4 races PER Year to break even. possibly the same in NZ. Most can do it too here. as with the rating system the way it is pitting you against similar runners every week , you will win One in every 10 starts on average. The 10 horse fields says law of averages you will one out of every 10 starts. It's a numbers game . so you might start your horse 40 times in a year. (not uncommon in regional racing) and you'll win the 4 races ( and get 4 x 2nd , 4 x 3rds , 4 x 4th and so on. The prizemoney they raced for , seems to be calculated to cover a horses annual costs of training and racing, to fit that exact criteria , almost to the dollar. If they can get around the track 35-40 times per year lol. And we did enjoy the $550 at Rocklea back in the day too. Beers were only a dollar a pot in those days !! 😎🍺🍻 you win ,you shout. Of course Metro horses on a Saturday night ( equal of your Friday night lights horses) can earn a LOT more and return a profit. They Go Like BLAZES though , and very hard to win in town (city) the millionaires horses are too good. They find that out for sure in New Zealand over the years too. (Allstars owners for example) Vicki Rasmussen leased old NZ er TURN IT UP off Mark Purdon about 5 years ago . He is your standard hard trying old horse and is in the Interdominion tomorrow too. He runs about 20 times per year and wins about 5 races and $100,000 annually. so Vicki doesn't really need any other horses to race ? when you have one like that earning your annual wages lol . He can still go close to 1.50 mile still an is amazing old horse. One of my Alltime favourites. Won an Auckland Cup once too . -

There is either no money in the pools and a couple of hundred dollars can massively shift the market or they are getting hit all over the place and are plugging holes. I have never seen anything like it tonight with the market moves.
