No doubt about it TNaicker.
More so they know what horse is going to run badly not so much who is going to win.
Some will come up with reasons why the favourite was drifted and ran accordingly...it will do nothing to attract new participants and without new / additional punters, each little fiefdom is going to go the way of the dodo...
In casino parlance, the operator was the house and the bookies and punters were the players therein...now the bookies are the house...what chance the punter?
SA racing is gone to the dogs.
I play as little as possible as I really think our racing is not trustworthy one bit.
Bad horses,mediocre jockeys and trainers at best compared to years gone by.
Incompetent stipes and the body governing racing seem to have grudges against certain people.
