another strong case for barrier trials and also why south afica have shocking newspaper journalists..hot favourite from a strong yard and only 5 minutes before race time are punters who are fortunate to actually listen or have tellytrack are informed of no confidence from the yard ...unfortunately this will fall on deaf ears as it has for a decades... mediocrity continues

agree...

This is one of the few (only ??) industries where the customer, who funds the industry, is not considered and has no say in the industry...

Very true Buddy

on paper the trip was not going to be a problem,with the dam throwing a few speedy horses

Fancy breeding, fancy stable, fancy jockey equates to a fancy price...old bookmaker trick that we punters fall to time and again, agreed that thoughts from the yard should have been disseminated earlier but the question remains how and why did the horse open that price...

Titch, money comes from the connections of that stable, a lot of the times its jimmy the guessers

So if someone says blah blah is going well at home,they automatically think the horse is the biz,they don`t listen to the BUTS but

that ran an absolute shocker !! looked the weakest field in the world and beaten 18l wtf must have been the going - only happens when I have a treble finishing to collect 2k

surely the yard must have fancied the horse in this field - I heard they did and it ran a shocker I think it may have 3 legs

If its the obvious horse on breeding and stable, what price should they have opened it ? Do they have a crystal ball ?

Do the bookmakers have trainers comments of every first timer written in their formguide ? Maybe there is a special bookmakers computaform with extra info !

Those bastards.

Jokes aside. I worked in the industry for a long time. There is a lot of guesswork.

I got an sms saying they heard an anouncement on track something about Respitory noises reported...
