No only places - I have forgotten the lesson that says always take an each-way

Apart from the big days,mind you even there we are prone to upset results,we gonna get even more of these type of days with the poor quality of horses we now have if we don't bring in new blood in the breeding ranks.
With bad stakes on offer hopefully the fly by night breeders call it a day and stop flooding our race tracks with drakensberg quality horses.
No one goes to the track to see donkeys run unless you are unfortunate enough to own it.We haven't even got any local horses in Dubai anymore as they probably just not good enough to be competitive.
KZN is already a place where plenty refuse to punt due to the inconsistent results and the Vaal is becoming the same.
Unfortunately the quality of SA racing is dropping and it's not just the horses to blame.The new operator,the new TV channel,the tote,the lack of quality trainers and jockeys,it's all going in the wrong direction.
Today I didn't even play my daily PA which I have done for decades.
So if I'm losing interest just imagine what the 'real' punters are contemplating with these results we get dealt more often than not.

Going through the dividends today at the Vaal.

Both Jackpots had portions carried over.

Jackpot 1 = 117k carried over

Jackpot 2 = 69k carried over

I have never seen local Jackpots carried over until today with so much of the pool. In fact I can't recall when last I seen a local Jackpot carried over. Its quite big percentages carried over.
