Thought the same Happy, but did seem a bit of a silly bet for the reward! Trainer wasn’t overly confident as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the galah Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Just there for a run maybe,at least that's what it looked like,certainly driven that way.. Trainer did say the $2 was a bit short,but irrespective of that sitting 4 back the fence on an average speed would be an average drive on any horse that had half a chance. They cant think its much good. Edited January 2, 2019 by the galah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beleive that with the TAB Bookmakers offering far shittier odds than what they used to, it has made Punters make far more riskier or dumb bets! Yes of course the horse probably would’ve won if it began well and they wanted to win but basically risking $4;500 to double your money first up from the stand wasn’t great value in my very humble opinion! Thing is that the Bookies won’t take big place bets now and seems to have a limit of $1000net win before they kill the odds! They need to grow some really!,, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterthepunter Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 dis agree with every one about the drive on this horse as if you have a look at the tape the horse was hitting the wheels on the bends and was pacing rough and had to keep taking hold of the horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turny Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Looked bad and a $2 false shot. $2 shots lead and win. Not a good advert at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to weave but nowhere to go. Be interesting to see the outcome. Today it will only be 'adjourned' as they always are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boobybec Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 thought same when i watched the race. Was a false favourite even trainer said that. Tell Craig Thornley he isn't driving Play On anymore .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CrossCodes Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 You would have to be a brave punter to have a big bet on a driver like Thornley, he’s always been a weak driver who seems to mould his driving style on Richard Brosnan, apart from the drive on Queen Bee Bardon where he went beserk on her and gave her no chance.

That was matt Anderson on queen bee bardon .certainly driven very hard. I guess that's what happens when you run in those races. Would not surprise if that has long term effects on the horses future performances. time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Nothing to worry about. Actually, I don't think the stipes even saw anything to mention. We are in save hands. I am sure the punter who lost $4500 will feel deep consolation with the report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you were right, Thornley the regular driver isn’t he? Either way, a mad drive that set up the track record being smashed. Shes an example of a horse that will be better off in Australia, has great gate speed and much easier to place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would be much better off in Australia,as runs like that take a toll on the body. It may already be too late after yesterday.. Whenever they run such fast times it always sets it up for an all star runner .They always get a second wind when others are gasping.

I think they are probably right. It was just a dumb drive and normally he does better,and the person who put $4500 on just over estimated Thornley as well as the horse.

But should the stipes not ask the question why he did not come off rails early when 4 deep? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Surely it has to be asked. They leave themselves open to all sorts of inconsistency accusations by not doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portfolio Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Amazing that the punter managed to get on the $4500 bet? According to some on here, it is not possible. If only tab had refused my bets over the years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
