And that's their re-write. It was even funnier before when they were tipping their 3rd and 4th selections as great place bets in a 4 horse field with no place options.. Plus they moved Orchestral from 3rd selection up to second during the re-write. And dropped Shamus from a top-2 choice to 4th pick.
"ORCHESTRAL (1) Only fair when 12th last run at Flemington. Overlooking the last run and facing a weaker grade. Should be swooping on the field late. Will relish the track conditions. Solid place bet prospects. POUR THE WINE (4) Outpaced some runners late when 5th last run at this venue but competing at a higher level of competition. Warren Kennedy has been successful in the saddle previously. Honest and strong place bet in this race."
I remember Thames well, annually, from a 2 day meeting to a 1 day meeting to a 0 day meeting. So sad. Paeroa was good too, AND with a great steeplechase track. A few decent horses raced there too.
None of us enjoy a lot of these changes, but we have to evolve. Remaining stuck in the past with both hands and both feet anchored in the mud achieves nothing.
I keep reading stuff like this; " Unbeaten in the wet and cannot be overlooked."
And every time the track condition has been a Good 4. Absolutely pointless and completely irrelevant information. Al really isn't that smart is it. Intelligence my a***. The only part that's accurate is that the information is artificial
Well the Entain AI Machine tips all four. Two as win prospects and the other two as place prospects.....in a win pool only race. Pour The Wine is listed fourth of the four, so will likely win the race. I'm rapidly agreeing with those that say giving up seems the only sane option.
They've outdone themselves in R1 at Ellerslie on Sunday. They reckon 2 of the 4 runners - yes, four (4) - are a "solid place bet" or "strong place bet" in a race with a win pool only. Freaking amazing!!!!
