Free Tabsheet continues to.make stakes in Dubai look like a JOKE:S......................................

Without fail the free Tabsheet continues to show the stakes payouts for Dubai racing at Meydan as in ZAR whereas the actual amounts should be US Dollars.

Is it so difficult to convert USD to ZAR or does the TAB want to deliberately show reduced stakes to avoid embarrasment perhaps???:S

Today's mistake-free TAB sheet for Jebel Ali offers reduced stakes for all those participating in Dubai, a case of less rand for your dirham.

RACE 1......... STAKE............ AEDIRHAM 65,OOO................... TAB SHEET REDUCED STAKE R65,000--
CORRECT STAKE AT EXCHNGE RATE OF 2.43356 DIRHAM TO THE RAND........................................R158,000--

RACE 2...................................................................................................TAB SHEET REDUCED STAKE R70,000--

Because we still thirld world E.&O.E and we cannot get exchange rates from banks so we give black-market rate one rand to one dirham.

Also we link stakes to turnover so maybe The Sheikhs learn something from us?<

Borrowdale card for Sunday shows no stakes payable!!!

For the record all the races are worth R75,000-- in stakes bar one, race 4 where the stakes is R90,000--.:

Tomorrows Dubai Racecard on Tabfree sheet shows all stakes to be paid in ZARands.:S

As per usual this is not mistake-free and the actual stakes amounts are payable in USDOLLARS !!!X(

Odds on the Dubai World Cup will be shown with a stake of R1O,OOO,OOO-- whereas it is USD 1O,OOO,OOO--:

SHEA SHEA running for R175,000-- and THE APACHE for R200,000--- many miles away according to the mistake-FREE tab SHEET.

Rather keep them at home here in S.A. for bigger money.........................?<

Well well done to Mike de Kock and his team for bagging 3 winners at Meydan. You and the rest of the world can be forgiven for getting the impression that they brought home only about R4OO,OOO-- in gross stakes. Could have got more here in S.A.<

Also well done to the SCott Bros bred THE APACHE, the only SA bred winner on the card and if the results section on Tabonline is anything to go by on, all the USA, GB, GER bred horses are shown yet the SA bred ones are not ???:S

thanks mikesack....one man post...but much appreciated...(tu)
