Try and Work This One Out

to me is fraud if the big money come in after the race is close. other people give the simple solution let the race close for the idiot oversees 5 minute before the jump. imagine how much more money is go on when a 3/1 shot shot 15 rand with 4 minute to go. to me is no reason why these is tolerate

You hit the nail on the head, TH, which is why I give local racing a miss, with the exception of Scottsville. The Win pools are too thin to get a read. My punting day consists of Aussie racing in the morning, French racing in the afternoon, and U.S. racing in the evening.

Don't ask me to explain Scottsville, I can't, because the pools are not any bigger than the other weekend venues, but for some reason it just works.

All the best Edge!!! Hit them hard no matter where you play!
