Jesus Christ there is some big news coming out from the northern jumps circuit about race fixing. This is big.

We’re probs not going to get sued by all the northern trainers and jockeys involved but will let others break the story.

Huge bans for a lot coming, courtesy of WhatsApp chains.

Often wondered if there's 10 horses in the paddock pre race, how many connections are actually 100% trying to win. Some horses might be running at an inadequate trip, not be fit enough to win or perhaps the purpose of the run is to keep dropping in the handicap.

We all know it goes on. Anybody who says otherwise is kidding themselves on.

Given some of the dreadful field sizes we get its not too great a leap of faith to think that results could quite easily be manipulated pre race.

A better question is to step back and ask what "trying to win" actually means. Lots of punters and pundits speak as if it means "expects to win" but if that were so, there'd surely be half a dozen odds-on shots in every race.

Turn it round. How many are actively trying not to win? One or two, perhaps.

The dull fact is that most runners will take a win if they can get it but realistically need everything to go right for them and for something to go wrong for their main rivals: being blocked in at a crucial moment, or on a slower patch of ground, or having a jockey who is not one of the top riders, and let's face it, most of them aren't.

I'd not call those horses non-triers, even though no-one expects them to win.
Report comingupthehill August 11, 2025 8:25 PM BST
They don’t technically all have to be trying to win.

The rule is,the best possible placing.

Clearly given the hcp system,you can’t keep winning.theytarget races where they might have the best chance.
Going,dist,track,weight.
That’s the whole point of form study.

The jockeys job is to achieve the best possible place,or look like he’s tried to get the best possible place.

People moan when they see a jockey not trying to do this.if the stewards agree,he gets banned.

The bookies don’t know although they have better info,from their own odds compilers,to astute bettors,or even involved bettors,

Again,same argument,what bookies,how many of them,it would leak.

They’ve got a good idea,or a strong possibility,even if wrong,they ll be right more times than wrong,
They want to be wrong,

If you back a horse everyday and never had a winner,at what point would you stop.200 days,2 years 5 years.
They want you to win,occasionally,it’s up to the punter to manage that,which most don’t.

...I'm not clued up like some of you guys,.. but I must say that it's always been suspicious to me that, in what is supposed to be a competitive " sport"......that at any track, in any month, at any distance, in any code, etc etc....that almost exactly 65% of generalised favourites lose.

Regardless of our own opinions, the stats seem to indicate something other than sporting randomness, ....I would feel that it's more a case of a "pre-structured" industry matrix.......and I DO know from my own experiences, that with any involvment of betting and handicapping ...this whole set up is far removed  from  a simple and true "sporting" challenge

I would personally exclude Grade/Group 1 races from the general financial "engineering" element of this thesis  on my part.

Sorry to bore you all....but I'm bored this morning, and wanted to share my joy !!

Like "Seaside" ,I too will be leaving the forum next month, ...I'm going to Yankeeland for 90 days to stay with my son.....definitely not taking the laptop either ....Cool

There are some bloody idiotic remarks on here  [2025 intake especially] can I ask a question if you have a field of say 10 handicappers do you expect the same result every time ?  According to some the answer is yes  All entitled to their opinion no matter how incorrect.   Other sports 100 golfers according to some result fixed, bloody idiots. I could go on but not much point its all fixed we are doomed   lol

One sport that goes under the radar here is basketball, in play betting on it is so bad they frequently have to suspend the market. As for racing, if you’ve followed it for long enough you’ll know that there are 2 or 3 trying and the rest waiting for another day, they don’t all get together and fix the result, that doesn’t make sense.
Report Jacko2017 August 12, 2025 11:56 AM BST
I would guess pre race that at 6-8 of the 10 jockeys will know each other's intentions i.e. if they feel their mount "has a chance" today or not. as a sample of 10 work colleagues the odds are some don't get on while others are travel companions who share plenty of daily chats and where there's money involved who knows what can develop
Report Hayden August 12, 2025 12:28 PM BST
Easiest thing in the world to find non triers after the event is to watch a handicap debutante hack up off a low weight then check out their previous runs which will be as plain as day , horses have in general ( with obviously some exceptions ) two careers one before the handicaps and a new one when they're handicapped whether it be the first h/cap run , 2nd or even 3rd run.

That's why all form books are bog paper and in the modern game it's better advice to back horses at big prices that may be capable of winning as opposed to backing short priced horse that have already proved they can win the race as every Tom , Dick and Harry will also know , does wonders for the required strike rate if you largely stick to the low grade stuff and ignore the so called festival nonsense.

I'd reckon on over 95% using the latter method so historically you'd have to say that it doesn't work.


Good luck today all    Happy
