You need your head read taking these crap prices. Bookies are betting to extortionate percentages.

If you have ever wondered how bookmakers can be buying out racing, this is a prime example.
The margins they are betting to here is approximately 60%. In theory this means that regardless of the result, they will make 60c profit out of every Rand wagered. Remember that they take your cash if your horse doesn't get a run so that 60c will be significantly higher once the final field is announced. To be jumping into a 5/1 shot 5 months before the race is pure stupidity.
Whoever marks up at Hollywood needs to take a long walk off a short plank in shark infested waters. This is pure and unadulterated abuse of punters.

Yes it does appear rather early this year and very difficult at this stage and no value on offer.
However in the UK ante post markets are available many months or even a year in advance.
At my age not advisable.
Just to discuss the horses and possibilities putting Punting aside.
I am a big fan of Zeus and will continue to follow but would prefer the Gold Cup 🏆
The both Guineas winners were very impressive but the July is a tough potential damaging event with breeding in mind so probably not on agenda after triple crown and tiara safer options.
Not sure what happened to the unbeatable See It Again in the Met ??
No rush and good Punting 👌

early betting should be 10/1 bar the field .
See it Again will carry more weight this year .The winner could come from Gauteng this year ,me thinks but still very early days .Sandringham Summit loves Greyville .

Harsh OTA, as this screenshot was from the earliest betting, and at the time they stood alone, and they were probably being asked for betting by some clients and hopefully the percentages will be better soon. PS They have overpriced one horse massively
ROYAL VICTORY 50/1, thank me later, will start at half the price at least and that's if all the fancied runners run

I had an early stab on William Iron Arm - should be better over further than 1600 (Galileo dam) - rating sure to improve after the Guineas run - depending on the ratings should get weight from SS (if he runs) - and odds not too bad

I like another horse out of a Galileo dam.
Green With Envy at 33s.
From what information I can get, it won its only start approximately 2200m.

Should be competitive - see it has shortened at HW - still at 35/1 at WSB

I worked the percentages from the live odds offered not the initial pricing.
Either way its a rip-off
