to be fair in 5 of the most high profile races on fri and sat, 3 appleby favs ridden by champion jock elect, and 2 fancied burke horses in haddock group races,you new wernt winning by the betting in last 20 mins before the race, market seems to no alot more these days than ever in the past,your everyday punter picking horses out fri night and betting sat morning has nah chance,ive no idea how much this type of punter contributes to the days punting takings

Fwilliams 1/5 reminded me of the story of a punter on the northern tracks who would turn up with wads of cash whenever there was a 1/5 fav. He did well until one meeting where there were 3 shorties, I think from memory 2 lost. If he ( and many other clueless wonders) had done his homework, whatever the circumstances 25% of all favs shorter than 1/2 WILL lose.

We had two characters who would turn up at our local bookies with carrier bags full of cash. One was the manager of girl pop group before they became famous. He would turn up with a heavy for protection. Dont remember him needing it on the way out!. The other was an Irishman who went on to buy 3 horses at keeneland without paying for them. He had no need for protection, even had a name to match!
