Today's Racing

[kolchak]

Backed both Gallic and Exalted time. But couldn't believe the odds i got. Like you said Helmie what the hell did it do wrong. I thought it would of been a lot shorter.

Cheers for Exalted time, put an EW on it, got the place with Zeinab, and unfortunately Eclair Passion just missed out on a place, was paying well to. Wasn't expecting the last race at Morphetville to turn out like that. WD with Gallic.

Also why is Tuskegee Airman get so heavy of weight in every race he is in 67.5 is just ridiculous, whilst the lightweight in this race is carrying 63...

John Leek also seems to be a fan of the highweights and the opportunity to put his partner Andrea on board, hence he always seems to have one going around in the highweight series.

In terms of weights, well todays race was a Class 2. Perhaps TA was harshly treated given it carried 67.5kg in its last Class 2 highweight start where it ran second, while Gainful carried 64kg to victory in a Class 2 highweight race last start. Normally a horse going around in the same class race again having won in that same class previously does carry more weight - Gainful suffered no increase in weight for that victory. Regardless TA now has five seconds in a row - handicaps an excuse or is the horse just one of those non winners.

Nadeem from as long as 8's has been smashed into 7/2

Yeah they got on very early too, pretty much as soon as markets went up it came in from 6.50 to 3.40 with the bookies on course, no doubt was a better price in earlier markets. Forced Universal Queen's price back out too after it was backed early so those who fancied it did well.

Yep, and Hayes will be very pleased with the run, stormed home from almost last....

Andrea Leek is a truly woeful jockey. Team Heritage must have been one hell of a jumper, to win anything with her on board. When I saw she was on an odds pop, I was rueing the fact I didn't have money in the Betfair account.

First post on this board, but I had to chuck in that the tassie TAB gave me the mystery bet in the Cup
