    Re: Horse Racing 2012

    The handling of Damien Oliver this carnival has been ordinary to say the least.

    How he was allowed to race yesterday and days prior after seemingly (by all reports) admitting to betting on another ride in a race he was participating in is beyond me.

    I've only had one good betting Spring, and that was when I lived with a guy who watched the tapes religiously. I didn't take home much but I was more informed. In the years before that and since I've figured unless you do a bit of work towards research you're just another mug propping up those on the inside or with better knowledge.

    This sort of thing just reinforces my view that racing is hype, mixed with bogans making arses of themselves on the big days and people that are dishonest and cheating the system. RVL's response thus far to the scandal has been pathetic.
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

      Get your money on Zydeco in the Oaks today. I backed her on Saturday and she slaughtered the field. Looks the goods.

          Emirates Stakes Day today.

          Last day of the carnival and it's second only to Derby Day as far as quality goes.

          I think Mental will win the Patinack and the toppy, Solzhenitsyn to take out the Emirates Stakes.

          For some value, I like Hoylonny in R3. Strong form coming in and has drawn well.
          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

            Went today and didn't pick a winner, but overall in the carnival, I am up thanks to a nice second in the Cup.

              You would be one of the few. Absolute bloodbath for most punters.

                  Yes, but still only broke even for the carnival.

                      I'd have out run half that field tonight!

                      Though, she didn't get injured and she wasn't lame.

                      24 wins is a magnificent effort.

                        Frankel vs Black Caviar would be a great race.

                          Frankel is not a sprinter, more a middle distance horse.

                            Some reckon it could beat Black Caviar. Frankel is now retired.

                              Great to see the mare in the flesh. The roar of the crowd when she turned the straight was pretty cool.
