Brodie Posted April 17, 2022 Posted April 17, 2022 Does anyone know who is setting the odds for harness racing at the moment? There seems to be quite a few nowadays including today at Motukarara that have opened at well under what they should be! Probably end up with egg on my face but examples are 1. Slainte. $6 2. Whakarehu $2.70? 11. Artatac $2.10?? Slainte won a trial at Ashburton allweather only 3 in it and used to gallop down south. Where there is smoke as they say but drawn one on the grass! Whakarehu? What has it done to be so short, apart from Blair in the cart? Artatac. $2.10 seriously? Been going poor and it is $2.10? There are a few that are good chances that are at good odds so is anyone prepared to back the above at those odds? Quote

It won a trial in August 2021 and must have been put aside. It is reasonably bred and the mid-canterbury boys like a punt so understandable why it is short. Follow the money mate. Wait for a few starts when odds have lengthened then it'll win. Get on mate! Edited April 18, 2022 by Davis Quote
Brodie Posted April 18, 2022 Author Posted April 18, 2022 Whakarehu wins, but it was major unders for any value and not sure what it had done to deserve that? Good punting today, far better than Saturday night was! Brodie in form, shame he couldnt have got on yesterday as nothing open! 1 Quote

I would have priced it at 1.80 so thought the 2.10 was value. 1 Quote

You are buying money backing a $2 horse on a grass track. Yes it had been racing against far better fields than what it met today, but $2.10 was poor value. Punters that spend their $ on that sort of odds are going to be an asset to the NZ TAB! Quote

Anyway I was 2 from 2 and far more profitable today! Quote
