These small fields are a real turn off for the punter. Why not run them as none totes so we don't have to put up with watching them? Hope everyone made a ton of money on this one LOL

Looks like a roll back a few days... A few posts missing it seems

What has changed? The result used to be up almost straight away after the judge declared the placings. Now we are waiting up to 15mins. Not good enough. We should be moving forward not back to the dark ages where the placings are put through via Morse code

Addington ridiculously slow at getting dividends posted again tonight

Winter racing is like that. Most serious punters close up shop over the winter months. Short favourites mixed with the odd $50.00 longshot you didn't see coming. Not my cup of tea.

His horses do step pretty good. I guess coincidentally they are all in that 40-50 rating gap. The rating 40 to 53 mobile looks a much stronger field. Good chance he will get the first four home in that 1st race

The whole thing has become a farce. Has anyone ever actually been charged after being asked to explain an improved performance? If not, then what's the point? It's hard to take it seriously when it seems like just a box-ticking exercise for the stewards. Asking the question without ever following through makes the whole process look weak and pointless.

Yes the recent trial was good and the drivers can say whatever they want if questioned and it is believed, but if there was ever a question needed to be asked that day it was that horse. Supposed integrity but I am rolling my eyes at that one.

True but there is too much inconsistency. Why was there no question asked of Downtown Orlando and the improved showing in race 8. Don't tell me it is because it ran 5th in its last start because that is a load of horse shit. Is was second last and struggling to keep up 21.5 lengths from the winner and all it previous 8 starts were further back than ninth. If they can not see that is not an an improved run then they truly do not have any awareness of how horses perform. If they want to hide behind some ridiculous rule that if a horse finishes 5th it is a good run then they are making themselves look like idiots in situations like this.

I think the problem is I doubt the stipes even realized this had occurred. Certainly would not surprise me if they didn't as there are a lot of things worth mentioning even more obvious than this that never get addressed either. They will watching this thinking what is Galah on about then go oh I see! Oh well too late now.

Mmm I can't think of many. As a punter we have lost the pick six, all up bets, dwindling tote pools, more restrictions, website still playing up, slower results, no place divs on trackside plus more. What have we gained apart from same race multis, top four and money back odds, which is not really a positive if you are not allowed to bet on them.

Yes hard to see where they were from the angles but I think that Robyns Hustler was actually almost three wide at that stage. You can see a bigger gap than normal between the fence runners and the outside horses coming into the bend the first time around.

They have tried to get rid of the small punter for years (eg removing phone betting for the older punters with no tech knowledge, radio, free to air tv etc) and now they are wanting the small punters back. They have finally gone full circle.

Yes they just take away the options like top four, and other fixed bet types when you log into your account. It is like they don't exist. Can still bet on tote but not most fixed options.

Boost the turnover with your own money and report the turnover is up. Everyone is overjoyed at the news. Genius plan but will it last! Do they have to pay tax on the bonus money people spend or is that a loophole they can get around?
