Anyway back to In Secret. Is the only reason you are picking her to pile on is because of her run in The Everest? Or does your analysis involve other factors?

The comment was primarily about the way the horse walks in the parade ring and anyone who has been around horses would have had second thoughts about it. Perhaps you experience with horses is limited. Subsequently I did provide proof that I backed it. So another reason now and not "I can get better odds elsewhere"? Most people on the forums know who @curious is and I can assure you he hasn't "stiffed" anyone.

Yep I'm guilty of fighting fire with a nuke. But everyone is getting somewhat tired of your standard response to any post being a smart arse attack. Take for example my comment on Without A Fight's parade ring walk and picking it to win and your first response below. At least I backed up with evidence. You get offered $4.50 by @curious but we are still waiting for you take some of it. Mind you I imagine your "pile" isn't worth the hassle.

Although there is ample evidence in this Topic that you have ruined feel free to post some evidence.

You don't although you are quick to expect it from anyone else. You seem to be full of shit not just because of your hyperbole but because you talk big and walk (crawl?) small.

So cutting out all the Bullpucky (or hyperbole or whatever you want to call it) you don't consider $4.00 or $4.50 value for In Secret and it seems you haven't piled anything on Betfair! So the way it looks at the moment is that @curious's assertion that you are full of shit is paying $1.05.

So your $4.00 is hyperbole?

Quite fascinating watching you ruin your own Thread!

Kensington Race 6 - 01112023 (2).mp4

Eh? I thought the races were at Kensington?

Bookies hit by missing millions In a week where millions of dollars are wagered on the world’s best horses that grace our turf, it takes a fair yarn to grab the attention of the racing world. Sadly, it’s a tale where many stand to lose millions of their hard earned, in what appears to be a scheme worthy of a Netflix drama. Racing identities, bookies and sports stars are all chasing huge sums of money – not to mention the Victorian Bookmakers Association who are chasing around $1.8 million – invested into to what has been reported as a sophisticated and until now, undetected Ponzi scheme. Racing.com has been told there are several Victorian based bookies who ‘invested’ millions – including one who stands to lose $4 million alone. Legendary racing author and journalist, Andrew Rule, wrote in Wednesday’s Herald Sun that one prominent racing family has lost at least $5 million. There are rumours a family trust connected to a former racing identity that has lost more than $10 million. Racing.com has been told there are others, some linked to racing, who have done smaller amounts, but money intrinsically linked to their ability to retire. Rule also writes that footballers, lawyers and likely others who are yet to come forward are also chasing their monies. The loses, if the money is never returned, will likely run into the tens of millions. The saga centers on former lawyer John Bernard Adams, who died recently. Adams, it has been alleged, chased investors promising strong returns on their investments from his Ivanhoe practice. Rule, in the Herald Sun, details other quite incredible actions surrounding key documents post Adam’s death that seemed to indicate to investors that major problems were about to emerge. Adam’s relationship to racing is not completely clear, but he had strong connections to a number of football clubs. What happens next will be fascinating. Incredibly, Victoria Police could not even confirm to racing.com they were investigating the matter. Rule did note the Victorian Legal Services Board is investigating, with the assistance of police. Racing Victoria said the finances of the VBA were regularly checked and despite their missing money, could continue to operate. Racing.com is not accusing the VBA of any wrongdoing and has been told that the investment by the VBA, and likely by many others, seemed legitimate on paper. “As part of our licensing process, we conduct an annual check of each Victorian bookmaker’s assets in accordance with our Bookmaker Licence Rules to ensure their financial suitability to operate,” the RV statement said. "Whilst our advice from the VBA is that they do not expect this incident to affect the operations of individual members, we will undertake an additional review to best understand any potential impacts.” What happens next will be a fascinating, and for some distressing, tale of unpicking what appears to be decades on investments by trusted clients into a scheme that appears to be quickly unravelling.

walk the talk Aristotle’s followers are said to have discussed philosophy while walking about with him—hence their name: “peripatetics.” I suppose they could have been said to “walk the talk.” For the rest of us, the saying is “if you’re going to talk the talk, you’ve got to walk the walk”—a modern version of old sayings like “actions speak louder than words” and “practice what you preach.” Another early form of the expression was “walk it like you talk it.”

So Betfair is offering better than $4.50? You don't appear to have "piled it on"yet.

Ease up. @curious put a caveat on that and the conditions were met. So he stayed. I take it you are not walking the talk?

@curious offered you better odds than you were already willing to "pile it on at" - I would have thought you would have jumped at the better offer!

I didn't realise the RIB had released their decision to you.

So now you are an expert on Judicial Decisions? I've come to the conclusion that for some bitter and twisted reason related to a past perceived injustice you sole motivation is to destroy Greyhound racing.

Are you saying the meth was deliberately administered to the dog? Shouldn't justice be delivered based on the facts not the potential moaning by the uninformed? Also how does the media get informed BEFORE the decision is published? What was the level of meth detected? Environmental contamination?

Who'd know you scurry around the place so much you'd need to be a meerkat to keep up. As for Imperatriz you've been trying to find something to beat her before every race and when offered better odds than the TAB you scurry down the drain pipe.

Nothing to do with the RIB. Why bring your Greyhound shit onto the Thoroughbred forum? What's more it is incorrect that they can't test for the drug in question. https://australianracinggreyhound.com/news/greyhounds-move-to-close-door-on-drug-cheats-20-years-late/15630/ Now if the RIB are not testing for stuff then it's because they are spending too much cash on salaries for ex cops to hide in hedges.

What the glasses or 3D movies? Avatar 3D was miles better than the flat version. Who cares if you look like a geek in the dark I like it has you get a better sense of distance be it from 1st to last or width. In terms of refocusing all it would take is for the studio to cut back to the front of the field after the drone footage. Let's face it generally only see about 3 to 5 horses on the screen at one time when side on. When they turn for home the shot is generally head-on. I like the innovation just needs a bit of fine tuning in my opinion.

Who would know - your posts are an art form of obfuscation. There was four you were talking about at one stage but all with the proviso....."I'll wait until closer to the day...." You were offered $4.50 and you won't take it yet tell everyone to pile it on!

So what? Just a hint - it's obvious you are not serious about anything you write. So if you can't take yourself seriously then don't expect anyone else to.

So you are not piling it on at $4 because....why? Nor $4.50 either. So at what price would you pile it on? $5.5? Which isn't far off @curious pricing it at $6.
