Scottsville Wednesday

Englander wrote: I note, on a course that is almost always meant to favour those horses drawn low over sprints, that on Sunday the results contradicted this somewhat... R1 over 1000 saw the horse drawn 11 beat the horse drawn 12... R2 over 1200 saw the horse drawn 8 beat those drawn 13, 14, 12, 10... R3 saw the horse drawn 13 beat horses drawn 1, 10, 9, 8, 14 and... R8 saw 2 beat 3 and 12.

Irrespective of prices etc, I am all for a course being fair wherever a horse may be drawn but unless this is consistently the case, who knows which draw is favoured.

I won't be betting on Wednesday, on one of the few SA courses I previously would be willing to have a go at, simply because I don't know if there is a draw bias or not and therefore if I have a bet I will be guessing to too large a degree.

Operators - you want "our", or at least "my", money then be consistent every meeting, if not then continue to die off as you are. The NFL wags its preferential finger at me again...

Awe Engelsman.hope all is good. Sundays racing (and todays?) Is at the scottsville stand side(outside) track,so in sprints outsider draws are preferred.when racing on the inside,we get inside draws.
