Guerin..... conflict of interest?

[The Centaur]

Listening to Michael Guerin can be rather stressful.  Ok he seems to have ditched his diction tutor but his oh so "knowledgeable" punting info leaves lot to be desired. The Foxbridge was the first WFA for the season with disjointed preps. Yet Guerin relayed to all it was a 2 horse race. His so called "speed map" totally overrated and lacked logic for this time of year. Yet when it came to his own money he informed us he had $1000 a place at 7:1 early in the week on The Chosen One. Now did he elaborate on this? No. Had he spoken to Andrew Forsman ? We don't know. Its the same with Emily. How often do we hear what Opie has said. And previously when Karyn was on board did we ever know exactly what Te Akau was thinking.

Other issue with him, what else got money on or trying to influence?. Kind why, don't listen to any of them and use my own brain re wagering my own cash.

I guess that is like being an owner and the trainer downplays the horse's chances then it opens up at $4.  They're not telling you but clearly they are telling someone(and that someone is not the billpayer)

For all that I don't really think Emily Bosson has a responsibility to broadcast Opie's thoughts all over the TV not was it KFE's job to relay Te Akau's(at the end of the day they might be piss poor judges - in terms of tipping I mean - anyway)

As for betting I think there should be some rationality in the rules. Therefore a limit placed on jockeys, trainers, jockey agents and officials such as handicappers. Instead of zero for e.g. jockeys have a simple limit also for officials. In this day and age a judge is hardly going to change the result of the race if he had 10 each way on the runner up.

In the case of a presenter its a bit like a share trading journalist. Buy shares, heavily promote the shares then sell them for a profit.

Pump and dump is the term re share treading Journalists. Applies to Racing as well.
