Addington friday nights

[the galah]

The recent friday nights at addington have been dominated by hot favorites.

Tonight the first 5 races again have horses paying around $1.50 to win.

Only once in the last 2 weeks has the favorite missed a place,but the dividends are so small that many punters are being turned off by the betting product addington keeps producing.  

The only decent betting fields that addington has come up for a while was when they had the sunday racehorses run on a thursday night in the winter rewards races.

Its just proof again that people are wrong who say a higher quality product is what leads to increased betting turnover.  It only applies on the meetings like cup day,not the other 90% of the year.

As an example,last friday they had 8 races at addington for the higher stakes,yet ashburton with only 8 races and the fields with less form and lower graded horses turned over more.

Its the low grade horses that prop up the stakes for the higher grade horses.

I agree with you Galah!

I havent bothered with Addington for the last 3 weeks and not overly missing it either.

The Bookies are just opening too many horses at short place odds, just not worth the effort to be buying money!

Maybe this is an ENTAIN directive??
