Whanganui rail bias...SHOCKING!!


Thomass

Recommended Posts

It's like all your ideas Thomass, you rely on massive assumptions. State of track, gear changes and what they will do. Rather than relying on known things and limiting assumptions to as little as possible.

No matter how much information you receive, you will always be wanting more once you work out that the latest piece still leaves you no better off punting wise.

Oh dear...

And you wonder why the Kiwi punter has disappeared from the stands....cant even get some poor f'er holding your hand at the chippy stand...

...let alone GAMBLE on NZ racing...because that's what it is

Meantime Arstralian Punters have the exact pen. Reading...change of tactic notifications et el...

You probably don't adjust your bet if a neddy's just had a wind operation...

...or got caught in the very slow Whanganui rail on Saturday..

You and roddy bet by rote though don't you??

So you certainly wouldn't adjust your bet if historical PDF formlines shows at a glance that a neddy can't handle a HOLDING track...

I don't understand what you mean 'bet by rote' unless that means assess the chance of a runner based on information available and then eliminating as much as possible any assumptions and then comparing that to price available. If that's what you mean, then yes, I 'bet by rote'.

I've found that works better than betting by guesswork. Maybe you should try it since guesswork seems to be an issue for you.

I don't understand how knowing if there is a differential across the track can improve your chances unless the jockey on your horse knows.  If he or she doesn't know where the 'best lane" is then it doesn't matter a diddly squat that the punter knows.  In saying that I can't say I've seen 20 or so jocks walking the track before the first at any meeting I've attended.

Pretty simple isn't it?

You know the rails off...outside barriers are what you want...

 Drawing inside...such as Wanganui...death trap

Publishing them..lazy Jockeys then know

Kelly née Myers does the stick thing...NZTR employee Noel Harris does it...

He told Jazz Fawcett the fast lane at Puke a month back...

Post race interview..." I knew where the fast lane was and I used it"

Perhaps you could get your own niche...watch what pro Jockeys walk the track then get on

best

Not I don't believe it is that simple.  If you look at the barrier win statistics there is no significant variance between fast/dead and slow/heavy tracks.  If you have a horse that jumps well and leads it is easy to dictate where on the track everyone races.  So if the punter knows there is a "fast lane" how do they pick the horse that is going to get to it first?

True in the case of PH who drew one and was able to get off the rail with its pace....and was 10 widths out round the home bend..

However Punters were sold a pup by the 'experts' when told the rail...and backing inside barriers and trail horses was just fine..

...when it wasn't...

Pitman and FORMPRO think they should be...Why take 30 readings around the course and then hide them from the public?

Any information like this helps the punter... perceived or otherwise

Surely it's up to them to then decide what to do with them?

Yesterday the reading was downgraded retro to the first...on a fine day...wtf?

Punters should have had those readings which would have shown an 'on the cusp' reading of Heavy..and those readings would have shown the rail was just fine...which it was

For a start what serious punter listens to Trackside "experts"?  They like to have a punt themselves and invariably they tend to prove most days they aren't expert.

As for publishing the "30 readings" how could they sensibly do that?  Each reading would have to be associated with its track location.  Would you prefer GPS latitude and longitude or a guess by the measurer? Now I presume to get exact location you'd want it down to degree seconds?  How many decima places?

Why not just post 4 figures - home straight average and variance, rest of track average and variance?

As the stats show it doesn't seem to matter what barrier is drawn.

Yep anythings better than nothin!

The Track Manager has to write 30 down anyway...easy to screenshot that and post it...Punters can do whatever they like with it...why hide it?

Straight is the most important...at the moment every 100M theyre taken up the straight...just do that across the width

It matters what barrier is drawn when the rails off...no doubt about that...or when the rail shows a better pen. Reading...on a leaders bias track especially

At which point will your request for more info end? 

No matter how much you get, it won't be enough to help your punting. 

What will be next?

He'd probably simply like to know all the winners before the off.

This is very basic stuff that Arstralian Punters get handed to them on a platter...

...our tracks are far worserer...worserer than a bog at the Bognor Regious track..

Change of tactics notes, exact pen. Readings, Vet operations...

...Any f'er who thinks Punters didn't need Wanganuis rail pen. Readings eats Monkfish

I'm probably wasting my time trying to help you Thommo, but the fact is that when you punt you are basically competing with all the other punters out there. They all have the same information. Unless you somehow have access to info that most others don't, any additional info such as the stuff you keep going on about will also be available to all the competing punters so will give you no advantage when you assess a horse's chances against the available price. What part of this are you not getting? Since the pen readings you want are available in OZ, does that make your punting on Oz races more successful than on NZ races where they are not?

Seriously curious you have no idea about punting here...only maidens last time you told us...

Punters use this information for their various 'niches'...

Some will find stuff uselful...others not

Knowledege is power...the NZ punter is treated like a lonely mushroom...and it ain't magic

Just heard the 'experts' on The Fart Call..

"Well Jason, is it going to be a leaders Track at 15M...or will it favour sweepers so far out...where's the best ground going to be?"

ffs...

If we're going down your root...you wouldn't waste time on publishing gear changes

But we know you have absolutely no idea about the performance quotient of Blinkers...others do

Ok Thomass, since you have knowledge about the leaders bias at Te Rapa now, Please tell us all who is going to lead and why in race 5 tomorrow.

I have an idea who might down to about the nearest 3-4, but you tell us who it is please.

Poor old Thomass,  the Princess is getting her Friday night 4hr torture(treat) from him, she would rather be watching David Seymour on dancing with the stars than being trapped and bored shitless with Thomass talking about Kelvin Davis’s achievements, hang on there isn’t any.

This sentence sums up why I am successful at punting and Thomass isn't. 

Generic application of 'performance' metrics. It just doesn't get any funnier reading this stuff from him. A dartboard would be more useful to him.

Quite right Thommo. I leave it up to the trainers to apply the gear that will help the horse run to its best in the same way I leave it to them to decide what work to give it on Tuesday morning and what to add to the feed on Friday night. You'd probably want that info as well I imagine.

Is the quotient better for blinkers on, or blinkers off in maiden races ?

Did they get to the races in a float or truck? How long before the races is also of importance.

When was their last shoe change? I think you will find Thomass that those changed within the last 7 day esp in heavy going out perform.

If you recheck your numbers barryb, I think you'll find it's more than 3 days but less than 7.

As I thought...you're CLUELESS...again

Of course...you said there was "nothing wrong with the Eagle Farm track"...didnt you?

If you think a Jockey...drawn one on the flat side...is going to pull back and over to the Grandstand side....when 6 other horses on his outer are dictating his every move...

...you have no idea...again

The only thing you got correct is that Punters won't bet if they don't have the correct information...

...and early Whanganui bettors got sold a pup when told the fresh 6M would be the place to be..."probably all day"...and it wasn't from the get go...

When a simple straight penetrometer reading across the width,  would have told them something entirely different...

...or a Senior Jockey/Noel Harris track report...telling Punters where they think the fast lane will possibly be...

Instead of a guessing game

Life in the Fast Lane
He was a hard-headed man he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless said he was crude
They had one thing in common: they were good in bed
She'd say, "Faster, faster. "The lights are turning red."
Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people; They took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties; They paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race
Out every
