So will the big bookies open early betting

hmm that's a ballsy bet for Fairview. Don't see the value in taking a first timer at those odds in PE.

I am sure all will be back to normal shortly

So what you trying to punt :whistle:

I was waiting on the Greeff race 1 first timer. Got 20000/8800 at Betxchange. Too scared to lay more.

Personally... I think you gona get Greeff'd in the first...
But I hope that things go your way... kudos to you for going balls to the walls on this one

Never one to shirk... personally if I were a bookie I'd settle everything in PE at the moment at SP. Some people in SA seem to think that horse racing is to a large extent just a "game" between a stable/owner and the bookies. It is not. The rumour mill or whatever you want to call it in PE has seemingly been more than rife in recent months, some results "known" way before the off time. It has been commented on that in some of these races, the efforts of those finishing behind have left more than a little to be desired. Until SA understands the game is bigger than one or two filling their coffers then quite frankly I am with the bookies here, having balls and taking an occasional hit is one thing, feeding the same individuals almost every week is completely another.

why not go back to the old way where each province bar Kimberly was responsible for pricing up on their own meeting..form 3 or 4 bookies who price up and then take an average from those bookies ..it cant be easy for any one individual doing betting on all the racing in south Africa especially the fact we have zero barrier trials and zero press at the gallops reporting on horses welfare and how they working..this industry continues to be its own worst enemy
