TAB Form Comments - Singapore

Recommended Posts

Comments for race 2 in Singapore

D'Great Pride - Educated here. Keep an eye on betting

Alrina - Locally trained. Monitor betting moves

Augustano - Has home track advantage. Market watch advised

Be Bee - Kicks off on home track. Keep an eye on betting and parade rings.

Am I the only person who finds this crap offensive as a punter? Someone is obviously doing this "form" which means someone is getting paid for it. Have quality form (which you should have) or go with none. In this case the latter would be better.

It's a sick joke and whats more of a joke is that they are not showing the first 4 races from there!!!! When there is so much nz interest there why do we get dirty dogs taking a dump on the track in outback australia. It's a joke. 

Looking at the results Laxon/Rogerson just had a winner, cant see it of course!!!

Its an embarassment. Its more of the same TAB attitude. Slash costs, reduce quality, these idiots will bet on anything with little or no information.

Hardly how the places we should look up to operate.

Reasonably confident that those Singapore comments are done by a computer overseas - it's all short sentences, following a pre-defined template... so no one is being paid.

But yes, those comments are useless as a guide and are only there to part a fool from their money. Maybe don't look at them if it riles you so?

It riles me because I love the industry and things like this continue to bastardize and belittle it.

Or maybe they could just do them accurately in the first place?

I have been banging on for years about the paucity of information availed by the TAB on Singapore and Hong Kong race fields. Inane race comments aside there is still a total lack of stats about each runner. Totally disgraceful situation.

There are other free sites that provide what you are after. Racenet being one although some of their descriptions in running can be well out which can be very misleading when trying to read form without video.

UPDATE. No comments for Singapore tonight. Without doubt an improvement on the comment that had been there but fairly disappointing that standards have slipped so low they have stopped trying. To be clear they could get quality comment without much trouble. It comes down to too cheap or too lazy. Either way its poorly thought out and doesn't reflect well for the future.

Brickbat or Bouquet?

Mrs Cubes was just wondering how Space Oddity got tipped as a placegetter considering formline and comments ?

Well anything could have happened in that race by the looks of it, awful form. And they are running for $35k, the mind boggles

That's good enough info isn't it ? ( is this the updated Tom Wood input )

Surely no one is complaining about that.

Somehow I don't think he would be writing "locally trained" in those form comments, some other clown who knows nothing
