Ignorant selfish 'punters' such as you don't give a shit....we already know that The only ignorant one here is you. I'm all for punters being treated fairly. But I'm far more interested in having integrity in racing. And I'll be looking forward to all riders having to weigh in. Since the horse finishing last that was under weight, was never a chance for the punter - before it left the starting gates. Other unselfish punters won't mind that being a late scratching. I like how you talk about all these unselfish punters, as if you have even half a clue. Go and ask a punter that puts $100k on a horse to place at $2 if he would be happy if the horse ran 2nd and the $1.60 horse won but weighed in light - and was declared a late scratching. Sure he would be saying. Of course I'm happy. Because I'm not selfish. Idiot. Edited December 27, 2019 by mardigras 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sigh) I often brought up the subject with the then CEO about the need (amongst other thing like Union coverage of workers, as in au) for some form of 'punters association', funded via 'lo$t ticket$'!!! for various reasons 'we' could not get them to buy in... the last one I brought it up with was Paul Buttar (sp), he good see the merit! being a punter himself!

I think they should do things that are fair for punters - but not reduce integrity in doing so. In this scenario, there is no guarantee that the amount paid back to punters collectively is more - if they late scratched such a runner. It could be less overall - meaning more money for the bookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
