Colors you seem to be in something of a confrontational mood today bud, lol, chill my man

This has to be some of the worst racing I can remember in SA, I am not moaning about the results (even the first was predictable given the stable! lol) but the course looks awful, the bias appears to have returned huge time to the inside and like others, I see no good reason why a jockey would not at least attempt to get across to the inside. I think there may be more to it than that though, too many of the "fancied" horses are seemingly getting beaten too far and too early, maybe the track condition is so poor that it is badly affecting some horses? I know not but the tv is off and the bookie sites were shut down after the 4th... dismal stuff.

Richie, a horse drawn 15 on this imitation of a course on a day very few seem to be challenging from behind, risky imo especially at the odds but hope its a huge win for you

It just shows how we read form differently. I make the 12/10 a good price in this field.

Titch showed this formline:
www.formgrids.com/subscriber/fgRaceResul...s=OLYMPIC+BOLT+(BRZ)

Ridden from the 11 draw which is horrid into 2nd place 1st time at the vaal, beaten by a 1st timer backed 18/10 into 14/10. Cant look at the form of the horses imo that finished 20 lengths behind.

Run before that:
www.formgrids.com/subscriber/fgRaceResul...s=OLYMPIC+BOLT+(BRZ)

Nothing spectacular but Moothadee looks a good sort and to be honest I watched this race and backed OlympicBolt but it wasn't a good ride in my opinion and I put a line through it.

1st run to Afrikaburn: www.formgrids.com/subscriber/fgRaceResul...s=OLYMPIC+BOLT+(BRZ)

This is the formline that got me excited the first time and why OB is on my watchlist. The horses that have come out after this race and not run good races have all been to top horses, scudetto, mljet, and moothadee. I believe this formline will pan out and is worth following. The 12/10 is a bit shy but looking at the rest of this field I cannot make a case for any of the horses.

Richie you make a VERY good point and you are absolutely correct, I completely missed that and I've now revisited my bet for the last. That's why I love this forum.

Guys personally didn't give the horse much of a chance.The second rule is don't blame the jockey if its the reason you went for it
The first being don't back horses cos so and so is riding

Never backed either,but I am not blind .................no attempt to get into the better going?????
but thanks for your expertise!

Thanks for sharing again colors... Really learning a heck of a lot from your "expertise" :oops:

Again no problem
This is why we participate on the forum,mind you there isn't much you can teach me though

I might be able to teach you the definition of sarcasm.

any blind man could see you were being sarcastic
Most times Sarcasm stems from a deficiency of some other talent

You got me bud... I have an EXTREEEEEEEMELY small weenie...but you started it.

Striker has been a Seldom Seen Kid today and the punters has had a real Toughnuttocrack day where KnockOut Johnny has been the order of the day absolutely Zero Cool and organizers shoul Stop the Crisis by bringing back trials and sectional timing, if not racing will become a Global Myth

On his comeback run he would have finished much closer had he not ducked twice in the last 200 m when passing horses - hence the blinkers on today. Khumalo is basically on course for this ride today. I wouldn't punt against Foyle before watching today's run. We might see why is he full brother to Kavanagh!
