"Te Akau Racing confirmed the sad news in a statement on Thursday morning, with the gelding's death linked to the degenerative eye condition that forced his retirement from racing last year. It is understood Te Akau Shark was humanely euthanised after becoming totally blind in both eyes." https://www.racing.com/news/2021-02-04/news-te-akau-shark-dies#/

I need to prop up a wonky table leg, soft cover may not do it

I'll get in in the fiction aisle of the local library when it comes out.

Matt Welsh @Themodernpunter From July 1, the Victorian Government has announced an increase in the Point of Consumption Tax from 8% to 10% of Net Wagering Revenue (NWR), bringing it in line with NSW. The Victorian Racing Industry's gross share of POCT receipts will increase from 1.5% to 3.5% of taxable NWR. Robbing from the punter again?

He did the same thing twice recently, one I backed.

Wouldn't worry about him, overrated and no value whatsoever.

somebody deleted my comment earlier, this stinks, it is total BS...oh there it is

I would like to apologise in advance...for anything Hesi writes in the future. Just kidding brother.

The number of times I listened to people telling me a horse was a certainty and it lost. I think $100 was a better risk than the house. No need to get greedy. The number of times I missed a winning bet on a $50+ horse because I didn't trust my own judgement. There is always another winner around the corner at value.

Years ago when highweights were around in abundance, there was a particular horse that won every second start. He would win then race next up over a different distance or class then back in to Hwt for another win. regular as clockwork. Can't remember his name.

My advice is for the social betting side of things. You will do enough to have fun. Barryb's advice is the future if you wish to make a good profit long term. Good luck

Agree with above. It sounds like you can pick winners but are too impulsive with your betting. Start with a bank that will be for beyond the day or week. Bet a % of the bank. This will control your impulse betting. Have a spreadsheet to keep records of starting bank, bets and profit/loss. For example, start with a bank of $100 and bet 2% ($2.00). This will keep you going for quite a while if you are losing. Once you have lost around 18 bets at $2 per bet, you will be betting $1.00 (rounded). However, if you are losing, it will pay to see why. How do you select a bet and why? You won't get 'rich' betting 2% but it will stem the quick loss of the $100 bank. Once you start winning, it is possible, then the returns are higher for the same % risk. I have followed barryb, curious and mardigras for a while now with their thoughts and advice. I have found that Return On Investment (ROI) is what matters not strike rate. Limit your betting to a few races per day. Look for value. Be prepared to wait. Don't follow the crowd and trust your own judgement. Even when you get it wrong, it is something to learn from and the 2% bank will give you lots of 'plays'. There is a difference between wanting to make a profit and 'social' betting. If you accept less than value on a runner, you may get lots of winners but the winnings barely, if at all, cover the losses. Don't chase losses, you will lose. Keep emotions out of betting (unless social betting and you don't mind losing, it's just fun). Keep on asking questions on this site, feedback is important as well.

Kings of the Turf A History of the AJC Derby From 1861 to 1980 https://kingsoftheturf.com/

Interesting reading "I had delusions of grandeur. I thought I could write a seminal tome about the evolution of the Thoroughbred Breeding Industry in the Upper Hunter Valley. Earlier I managed a very modest digest which I called the ‘History of Thoroughbred Breeding in the Upper Hunter Valley’. I believed I could ‘expand and enhance’ this book. When I delved deeper I discovered that much of the best ‘modern’ information was available only on the web? The rest hadn’t changed. I had the good fortune to meet the late Keith Binney at his pristine home in Cremorne. He helped me immeasurably and even presented me with 20 copies of his pivotal research composition ‘Horsemen of the First Frontier’ to give to others. He said; “If TROVE had been available he could have achieved the task in a fraction of the time”. http://sconevetdynasty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Thoroughbred-Breeding-History-in-the-Upper-Hunter-Valley-II.pdf
