Obviously not good for the stakes but good for the bookies who keep bailing out our racing.
All this bet on the tote,helps racing,is not being heard by the punters it seems.

Kaidan Brewer going on two-week suspension from tomorrow.

Watch his next two mounts

When i worked for bookies in the previous century, they would place the Exotic bet on the tote to cover themselves.
does that still happen??

Hollywood is a multi-billion rand company. There's no need to put bets on the tote when the total pools for the exotics for day are only R1,6 mill.

Out of your league would like to retire now or try easier opposition.
