Brodie Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) I appreciate that it is happening quite often nowadays, but why on earth do trainers line up maiden horses against race winners? Court On The Edge trained by Cran Dalgety is inthe last at Addington tonight and hasn’t been that impressive at all against maidens so far. The TAB has opened it at ridiculously short odds for what it has done so far, and there is also a bit on the tote at this early stage. Personally can’t understand why when there are plenty of other maiden races around! Could someone please enlighten Brodie? Doubt this would have happened under the previous handicap system Edited December 6, 2018 by Brodie Quote

Doubt this would have happened under the previous handicap system I can't understand why either, plenty of weak maiden races around. It's not as if it's raceday form or trials form is much chop.... only $9ff!! Quote
Newmarket Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Last time you mentioned something like this, think horse won, or was bloody unlucky Quote

Finished 3rd after breaking after start. Similar situation, hadn't showed that much but was super short which couldn't understand either. Raced 3 times for win and a placing before being carted off to Australia. 1 Quote
Flagship uberalles Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 They must know something! Be interesting to see what his price is just before the start. I thought 2 horses to night that have been mentioned by others over the cup carnival were good things tonight, Il parata $4.6 and doctor Tim $4.2 2 Quote

Those boys that won punters club a few weeks back, were very lucky that winner kept going Quote
Flagship uberalles Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Stable must have lumped on, that's all I can say!! Quote

Can we get Brodie a job as a TAB bookie. Would have cleaned up as he would have opened that one at $50 ? 1 Quote

I respect anyone who puts their balls on the line pre race. Whether they are right or wrong. The other Dalgety runner was a third of it's price so that was interesting. I thought watching the race live it was being made for Sezana! 2 Quote

If you looked at its raceday form and trials you wouldn't back it with stolen money, must have been showing a bit privately. Quote

Their opening odds are always half what they would be with anyone else driving them. 2 Quote
globederby12 Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Over the years you build up a portfolio of horses you remember popping up at certain meetings at good odds. Tonight was one of them. Unfortunately I decided to save my money for the Interdoms and didn't back it. Bugger me the horse ,Lillac Star pops up at 8.30 for the place. Ughh. 1 1 Quote

Brodie Posted December 6, 2018 Author Posted December 6, 2018 Race run at a crawl, slowest 1980m by miles. Setup for that maiden and how can anyone follow form when a race is run at such a pathetic pace????? Egg on my face I suppose but you can’t predict that sort of shite!!!! 1 1 Quote

I could be getting triple odds. Princess Tiffany could be at $4.00 tonight if Brodie was the bookie. Those $5.00 place outsiders would be kept pretty short though! 1 Quote
