As I write this they have already run the first two races at Fairview today. I don't want to know the results and quite frankly I am sh..ting bricks about the rest of the meetings results with one 18 horse and two 20 horse fields included in the exotic bets later on..?
Having said that this, increasingly stupider, smallpunter has done a few PA perms totalling a princely sum of R30.00 (ZAR). I might as well throw the 3 ten Rand notes out of the window onto the Cape breeze than totter down to the Tote, but what the heck- our horse racing is a Lotto anyway, one lives in hope.
I see the usually 'comfy Cartel' in the Eastern Cape lead by Messrs AC Greeff & GD Smith saw their collective backsides this time last week at Arlington when combined they only ran 5 or 6 placed horses on the day. NOT a single winner!? When last, if ever, did that happen?
The downside of that for us poor punters was a MASSIVE Jackpot pay out of nearly Half a Million Rand! (R445942.10 to be precise- okay, I'm rounding-up, but this is still shocking!)
I don't know the rest of the trainers that well in this backward part of the world and TJ Laing and Y. Bremner might well be part of the afore mentioned Cartel, but well done to them for running 50% of the days' winners. I bet none of the 4 mentioned above lost any tom though..?
My short period on this Blog has seen the 'near' Million Rand Quartet, the Third of a Million Rand PA, the R500.00 Swinger and now this monster Jackpot result in the home of elephants & crocodiles!? (God knows, we'd have better luck betting on those two species than the 'apparent' thoroughbreds we lose our tom on...). Having said that I suspect though that it's the two legged crooks that control & ride these fine animals that are entirely to blame.
I didn't see the spec. sheet for this meeting, but for a Friday meeting with a pay out that size there could only have been 1 point-something winners with the average pool there. F..ing CROOKS!
Betting should be banned at the two courses in this province- it really does border on the criminal.
Break a leg lads. (Pref. a trainers or a jockeys, if you can catch one- Bastards!)

THIS DEDICATED HORSE RACING BLOG WAS STARTED IN 2012 BECAUSE OF DODGY RESULTS? IN 2013 THINGS HAVE GOT WORSE WITH SOME HORRENDOUS PAY OUTS. ONE NEED NOT STUDY FORM ANY MORE, PLAYING LOTTO-LIKE-LUCKY NUMBERS WILL BRING MORE LUCK. PUNTERS ARE WALKING AWAY! THE WORST THING IS THAT OUR RACING ‘BOFFINS’ LIKE TRAINERS, JOCKEYS AND WORST OF ALL, JOURNALISTS & FORUMS, TALK A GOOD GAME BEFORE, BUT NO ONE HAS ANYTHING TO SAY AFTER THE FACT, LIKE WHEN AN ENTIRE MEETING HAS "BOMBED"!
