race 1 invercargill start

[the galah]

anyone watching that must have thought it was a shocker.

 jay bee hill charging the tapes and starting about 10m in front of the others off the front line. So with the advantage of 10m and a fast moving start it ended about 25m in front after 50m.

If your having a bet,watching another horse get such an unfair advantage seems quite unfair and silly.

and they want people to bet on those races

how the starter didn't see what happened or did see it and allowed it was rather ridiculous.

Agree with above.      “They want people to bet on these races” but they are not , if they go by the tote figures.Abysmal.   Treble on race 1 got to 5k + but that is another story for another day??

I will say for what's it's worth, some of those maiden trots do struggle tote pool wise, would doubt too many big bets on fixed odds either, just a lottery.

Probably find too that the afternoon turnovers will pick up once all the churchgoers have finished their Sunday lunches lol.
