Hesi Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 What is going on with this horse It is in today at Hawera, as a hot fave, so won't start at Te Rapa tomorrow, where it is FO favourite, so prices will drop substantially when it is scratched. Punters are therefore not going to bet FO on this race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punters are therefore not going to bet FO on this race No emergencies, so you can bet based on an approx 23% deduction. If those odds are better than your assessment, then you could still bet - just factor in the deduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 What's the point of the horse being in at Te Rapa in the first place now it is starting at Hawera, it wont start at Te Rapa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Imagine the shambles it would be if more trainers did this, accepting for 3 races over 2 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigras Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 As an aside, a horse we have been talking about in regards the melbourne cup, Dashing Willoughby. He is down to run today in the Wyong Gold Cup. He is also entered for the Chelmsford tomorrow (and not out as yet). They may be waiting to see if something happens where they might late scratch today - giving them a second option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigras Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Just now, Hesi said: Imagine the shambles it would be if more trainers did this, accepting for 3 races over 2 days It happens. This weekend there are a number of double acceptors. One runner, Plenty was a triple acceptor across two meetings (scratched from just one of those currently). There are 109 horses they hold two acceptances this weekend. (Some may have been scratched as I don't deal with those until the day). That's for oz, nz, uk, ire.

Hesi Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Must piss the clubs off I can understand accepting for different distance races, but Khufu accepted for 2 1200m races at Hawera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
