punters crying in their beer at auckland

[the galah]

What would favorite backers be thinking tonight.?????

Race 1. midfrew lucre -opened at $3.70,closed at $1.95.

Driver elects to go 4 back fence in 7 horse field. Gets out late  for 2nd.

Oh well an amatuer drivers race so can forgive i suppose.

race 2.hawkeye pierce-opens $1.70 closes $1.40. getting the 1/1 for herlihy,thats good,hang on did he just push put with 1200m to,seems he thinks so as he heavily restrains hawkeye to let d butcher get past him,hang on d butcher just strolls to the front,oh dear,beaten into 2nd.

Not to worry,he did pull and at least he was close enough turning in i suppose.

Race 3.stone cold $4.20 into $2.10. Straight to front,wins easy.

thats more like it.well done p ferguson.

race 4. red rackham $5 into $1.90. gee they must be confident here. hang on d butcher elects to sit 4 back the fence,oh no pulling triple on a walkiing speed,35 quarter,pushes out but all done,pulled too hard. D butcher didn't get the email about being a winner.

race 5.illsa son or taylad to you $4 equal favorites. what to do. taylad to you wins by a nose,nice drive t macfarlane but illsa son mmmm,driver elects to sit 5 back the fence. Must be waiting for next week.

Race 6.better knuckle up $1.80 into $1.30 whale must have tipped him out as a roughie. Hang on,s phelan driving. can't be right s phelan driving a horse paying a $1.30 to win. .....mmmmm,dear oh dear,what a drive,not trying?,no probably was trying as it was s phelan,i will see him at my local butchers tomorrow as i think he works there part time.

race 7. magic dash $5 into $3.50. drawn 1 the inside off 10m...oh dear,you guessed it,settles 5 back the fence,only gets out when race already over.

 

The moral of the story.

not a good look if your trying to promote betting at auckland. 

And no i'm not talking through my pocket.

But Punters,especially those who bet on hot favorites, like to at least get a run for their money.certainly didn't happen tonight.

Winter racing can be like that I have found. Either hot favourites and no value or complete blowouts who you couldn't pick. I just close down my betting June, July and August and wait for spring racing to start.
