Talking about positives Bob does anyone know what the outcome was of the two kotze horses in flamingo park that where backed from huge odds,with cheyne up,and both won?Or has it just been swept under the carpet.That was a betting coup the stipes had to look into.

Durbs,that's all well and good.If I purchased computaform and took the form as gospel,I would be as skint as Gerald Rattner.Im not saying that the winner was got at,but the trainer has used illegal substances and been caught out.
If a horse is running with a niggle and is feeling pain it won't put in the required effort.If it has 3 runs feeling pain,with its MR dropping nicely and then has a banned substance to ease the pain,what a nice price it will be on its 4th run.

Yip anything is possible in SA racing these days and yes you right with the form book it usually doesn't stand up in places like fairview and flamingo park but we can't go into a race meeting blind and choose horses cause we like the name or whatever.Add vaal sand to that list

Shamtastic,well done guys.

Well done guys

That's nice

Ps bling putting up 0.5 kg over cost him there
