It does make you wonder sometimes.

Remember one night (aus time) UK races...seemed like every second winner was being "scrubbed along"  at some point.....being a former conspiracy theorist ...I concluded the callers were "in on it"....whatever that means..

and if that's the case .. well poor ol AT has to have ... a lifetime ban imposed

the number of times he used to say ... as they jump ... in a screaming voice  ...

OHHHHHHHH ... 'SUCH AND SUCH' HAS GONE OUT THE BACK

(when that is the horse's normal pattern of racing each and every race ffs)

I love 'out the back' or 'missed it a length' and 50m later they're in the first three!

missed it a length'

History has it that you can miss the Golden Slipper start by 6 lengths and still have a beautiful day....

Is it time for horse racing to follow the other two racing codes in the harness & greyounds with coloured saddlecloths to be inroduced as it will help some raceallers calling the right the horses......

maybe in 8 horse races

but impossibe and less efficient in races such as a melb cup (24 runners)

for the ones in between .. and in the era of gps ... as soon as they chip the saddle/jocks or whatever .. and relay that info via a service to a visual outlet .. then we are all being held to ransom by aged thinking

Tassie trots have coloured saddelcloths numbered to 14 in horse racing normally wouldnt exceed that if so max upto 16 runners, carnival race meetings where bigger fields would be excluded as racecallers are more switched on & less likely to make mistakes in calling wrong horses....

you wouldn't follow anything the greyhounds have done, racing is not organised lotto.

I'm sure greyhound racing has the exact same ratio of winners to prices as any other gambling medium.

Couldn't care less BS, I loathe it with a passion.

tassie troys have 16

trots run slower and because of the sulky run wider apart

coloured saddleclothes are a slim hope to achieve what you want in thoroughbreds P10 imo

we have GPS working sensationally all around the world with thoroughbreds (even singapore )

it works ... come on Oz join the 21st century
