Newmarket Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Hey Kim, Many starts ago I thought Not Over was a little unlucky, so added it to my Black Book. Sadly, I keep punting it but I have decided enough is enough. Today you gave it a great run, but it showed about as much dash as a 200kilo guy on Boxing Day. Am I better to buy more undies rather than keep betting on it, please respond, thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasnt run a place for 2 seasons and probably will not again, unless it is the West Coast circuit! Rising 8 year old so best days will be well past you would think, and todays field in the last was as weak as you are likely to get for race winners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is owned and trained by lovely people so would love to see him back winning for them and his other loyal followers They do have a couple of nice horses in work that are yet to race but I think will do a good job for them in the next few months so maybe wait and keep an eye out for them. But you know how it works, the day you stop backing them is the day they run in the money! 😂 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Top 4? It is only available on account so is a waste of time for most! For the Punters who do bet on Top 4, how much does the TAB allow them to win? To be able to win the cost of a bottle of wine, in my case is just pathetic!

the galah Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 This topic i find interesting because it highlights the different perspectives. Punters like newmarket and brodie have a good understanding of all the effort that goes into having a racehorse but their focus is on how best to get a return from their punting dollar. Thats not to say they don't care about the horse/owner/trainer.Its just thats not their primary focus. Then on the other hand you have k butt. Its obvious from her reply, she has an understanding of all the effort that not over's connections would have put in to have him racing and how running a nice 4th,albeit after getting the perfect run,would be seen in a positive light and would have been enjoyed. i often think maybe the punters perspective probably doesn't factor in the feelings of whoever it may be that is being discussed and on the flipside i think sometimes the people and connections of the horses being discussed are over sensitive to what is actually being said ,especially when no malice has been intended. Thats why this thread sort of sets a nice standard in the communicating of both perspectives.I don't know k butt myself,but a bit like a harrison who sometimes replies,i'm guessing that apart from their skills as drivers,part of the reason they get drives is because they enable the horses connections to enjoy each horse and each race. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's 3 wins for you . All winning in Cup week next month . Do you have a spare glass and I'll come over and celebrate the 3 winners with you? . A case of cold duck might get us through the week. ( One bloke has shares in all 3 of these . What a legend !! ) lucky bugger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Your dead right, I did have a small share in a horse many years ago with no luck. Decided then I would rather spend money drinking and betting, rather than horse ownership, who knows might be involved at a later date. Kim’s reply was spot on, great that owners are happy to see their horses competing, can’t all be champions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
