chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 I know this is a very nice horse and has been going good races. But - is anyone convinced $1.75 FF from barrier 7 in a junior drivers race is any value at all ?? I'm not much of a harness guy anymore but I saw 4,10,11 as pretty useful animals who could easily win... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanthegreat 1,123 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 I agree , seems really short in a race with a few chances and the Junior element has to be taken into account. However, the TAB are not noted for having any balls............ I mean in the Rabbitoh's v Warriors game you can get odds of $141:1 for no try in the match ( WTF ) even thou the Warriors are part of the equation two teams playing for 80 min without a try. ............Yeah Right ?? I'll give you $500 :1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john legend 735 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Hayley nichol did run a 1.56 MR last start and did get pushed 4 wide when improving from the rear. Bit short odds ff but tote 3.50 more realistic but even without owner/trainer should win r60 JD race .If its wet should put lengths on this field .

Its more likely to get sunburnt tonight than wet - its a stunning day. Totally agree the last run was excellent. But juniors and draw means I couldn't back it at $1.75 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickopunter 403 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 As opposed to the "value" the TAB normally gives? Gutless wonders bring the industry lower and lower every day. They get huge amounts of information and set extremely weak poor markets and then still dont let lots of people have a decent bet. Road to ruin and they are partly to blame.

Black Art was supposedly very heavily backed, so you might have to consider the opening price. Most of them are way under priced.

Only took it in pick comp, and had it last 3 starts, you could hardly say it had showed much, and not to worry i wouldn't have backed it had i seen its price, and the other div was a shocker i thought.Guess there is no money in pools.

That would have been a fair price, if fixed div, there is some very odd odds for a long time. Think they make them up to suit themselves.

Chaddles 1 Report post Posted August 19, 2017 Both horses were tipped out pretty confidently on a facebook page which had been going pretty good lately so both got crushed. Was the same today with highlad and that cosmic storm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been further up inside that with a better draw. Tote money was reasonable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted August 20, 2017 I think we can spice the harness form up a bit by expressing opinions before races ... right or wrong it's good fun, and there is some good knowledge here Seeing I'm 1 for 1 i will retire undefeated richie 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
