Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
By guest columnist Bernard from Bowen Early market hunters have been smashed by a sudden and silent shift from TAB, which has now pulled prices on bush and back-end meetings until raceday morning — a move that’s left both punters and rival corporates fuming. This isn’t just a tweak — it’s a hand grenade lobbed […]
Race 1 The winner Iknowyou was backed from $3.10 into $2.20. There was good money for the 3rd horse Trapeze Flyer, backed from $10.00 into $5.00, and the 4th placegetter Smart Colour which firmed from $11.00 into $4.00. Race 2 Winner Potestas landed some nice bets when backed from $15.00 into $6.5. It was the […]
If you like a bet then this discussion on Wolfden about when prices go up and when you can get on is well worth a listen. The delay in when the TAB markets are being posted is a focus.
Remember our article yesterday about the winner who lost, the bloke who had $2500 on a dead-heat winner at the Bunbury trots and was paid a dividend almost $500 less than his stake?

Australia’s favorite on-course punter David ‘Baldy’ Frolley – known to his friends as Wok – is the last of the diehards whose days are spent turning up to the track to chase the ponies and trying to turn a quid. Baldy is seen at racecourses all up and down the eastern seaboard, from Victoria to […]
Our very own world’s largest punter Zeljko Ranogajec is in the news this week, after the Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick called a $92 million lotto win orchestrated by he and his team “the biggest theft from the people of Texas in the history of Texas”, more than “all the bank robberies, all the train […]
Shoeless in race 6 at Werribee on Saturday was probably the biggest go of the day anywhere in the country. $14.00 into $3.50 it was backed. Someone forgot to tell its jockey Jackie Berriman however. Or maybe they did, I don’t know. There are only two things for sure. One is that J. Berriman didn’t […]
