Morning good people, i know the day is gone and dusted but they should rather not call it Greyville instead call it Graveyard. I may not know as much as you guys about racing but anyone can see something is really wrong in Durban. In a 6 horse field the first 3 horses in the betting dont even turn up in the placings. I strong feel that theres a bigger picture we are missing. This has to be pre-planned by sone few who are gaining by this system and cashing in on the exotic pools and us poor chappies are just getting the bitter end of it. Anyways this is just my thoughts.

Just take a look at the last race....
Theravada opened 28-10 backed in the morning into 12-10.
Gentleman's Way opened 11-2 and by the time the race went off it started at 33-10.
GW went on to win the race and guess what...it was the stable companion to Theravada and it only paid R3-10 on the tote.
According to The Hawk,who is a good form studier,he wasn't looking for anything to beat Theravada.
Watch the replay and you will see which horse the stable wanted to win.
As they turn for home GW goes about his business while the jockey is just sitting on Theravada and is the only jockey not asking his horse to run.
As they pass the 300m mark,and by this time GW has a winning lead,the jockey on Theravada only now asks it to run and chooses a tight gap between runners.Theravada runs on really nicely but the bird has flown and I think the jock knew that.
That's the way I saw the race anyways and with those betting patterns there was only one horse the stable wanted to win.
Take bit on the favorite in the morning so the bookies think that's the right one from the stable and keep shortening it all the while the stable companion drifts to 7-1 and then lump on at the price they wanted.
Times are hard so they have to find a way to make some extra cash.

And they both had the same amount of pick 6 tickets on them,both had 6.
At the prices before the first leg of the pick 6 Theravada should have about 3 or 4 times less tickets.

Second jackpot paid less with the 6/1. Unbelievable

That's exactly what Justagambler was telling us.
Obviously the people in the know knew which horse the stable was going to try win with and that wasn't the form favorite.
Yes they still have to win with it but seems a good few knew what they where trying as seen with the pick 6 and jackpot tickets.
Ever wondered why Mario Ferreira took his horses away from Dennis Bosch?

I also like to way in somewhat frustrated with wats happening in Kzn racing recently
Yesterday Peter brings his battling maiden horses to Kzn who I'm sure if u put any jockey on them horses won in a canter then how does Kennedy explain a 6 horse field he gets beat with a horse which was a 17 time maiden?
Then preg somasundren should investigate the ride on therevada his double was there retail therapy and therevada but that ride needs explaining
Then the disqualification of horses previous meetings with jockeys under weight has been mind boggling what is being done to sort that out? I though was a once off but next meet happened again
All in all as a regular punter it's upsetting when you see these sort of things happening
