Yeldah, this is not an attack on you, but rather something that has always interested me. Maybe someone who works for a bookie or who has worked at a bookie can enlighten us, then I can understand the phrase "good support" for a first timer.

What is the limit (to win) on a first timer R 5 000.00 or R 10 000.00, or bigger? If (say) R 5 000.00, it's only taken over R 300.00 to halve the odds, and say double, if the limit is R 10 000.00. Unless this is an adjustment based on hear-say, or one worked at the bookmaker who laid the bet, any idea where Joe Public can see what has been traded on the horse thus far?

Here's the kicker though, why would you take (say) R 5 000 or R 10 000.00 ante post when at race time the horse might drift and you can take whatever amount you want?

Check the betting trend closer to race time.

Are the bookies that price up part of the claim system? Not sure they are anymore

Going with 16 SIBUSISO’S PATH
3 B f Pathfork (USA) - Himalayan Hill by Fort Wood (USA)

First run she just got tired , the second run was very disappointing but playing around in the gate . but I expect big run today .

Distance a concern as her mother was very good over 1400

I was the under bidder at the sale and was very disappointed when I saw who I was bidding against and quickly put down my hand

12/1 eachway
