Racing June Daily Punt: Winter has come

[IKnowtheDog]

Who knows. Too hard to keep up. In any case a mile lead up two weeks out not where you want to be coming from

Winx won her first Cox Plate three weeks after winning the Epsom. The right training program won’t cause a problem

Winx an obvious benchmark to be emulating...

You do not win the race off a mile run.

Dane Ripper, Sunline, So You Think, Shamus Award, Fields of Omagh all won a Cox Plate off a mile run at previous start.

The race’s which the impact will be interesting is the Toorak & Epsom.

So in the last 15 years only 3yos out of the Guineas (one of which who is the worst winner ever) and the goat. Mile lead ups don't get it done.

$10 million is a hell of a chunk of dough so will be interesting to see what unfolds

I expect we will be seeing even less and less NSW horses down south going forward. Its super interesting this year though as all the best WFA horses left are milers who are out on there feet late over 2000.

Hard to imagine the likes of Mr Brightside, Fangirl, Cascadian aren't all running in the mile race

Could they stretch Think About It to 2000m for the Cox?

Not this year

Think About It and Private Eye could create quite the conundrum for Pride this spring.

Not really. Private eye is cooked

No

How much will ACT racing be receiving I wonder

Interesting times ahead and not just the betting industry. Hopefully a few bodies have saved for the rainy day because it’s approaching fast.

No slotholders are funding a proportion of the race. Approx 40% I think. 20% of prizemoney goes to trainer, jockey, equine welfare and also strappers (nice try auto spell). Leaving owners and slotholders to negotiate the breakdown of remaining 80%

Last place gets 700K, slot holders pay 700K pa

Last place gets 700K, slot holders pay 700K pa

Improvement on prior years when a slot cost 600k yet last took home 443.75k.

Also why does the trophy need to be worth in excess of $600k.

Would be willing to bet the changes that are made as a whole will be a massive net negative for the average punter.

100%

What sort of price are we talking?

Would be willing to bet the changes that are made as a whole will be a massive net negative for the average punter.

The only outcome will be more government regulation and more taxation, and the burden will all get passed straight onto average punters.

There's punters upset that they lost bets in Pinn races.

What I don't get is, they knew he was claiming 3 going into those races. It's not like the formguide said 2 and then he actually claimed 3.

Race 4 Scone. You Have to Go backed from 150-1 to $4. (it drifted a bit before the start).

Walks out of the gates and dumps the jockey.
