Admittedly not a completely scientific study, but have checked the late quaddies for the dogs for the dogs since the change and the pools of the quaddies are no bigger. In my case, my spend has gone done - I enjoyed the place 6 on the dogs as upsets can and do happen - so if I'd done my analysis for the place 6 I would often place a quaddie as well. Kind of ironic that the new bigger better in this case means less options!

I'm assuming that Place 6 is not an option on the new platform they are talking about for April

Here's the Formpro Ratings speed map for the last. Switowski was another expected pace influence based on its previous starts but made no effort to run on pace. Even so, it was on of those races where on paper at least there was a high likelihood of a lack of pace.

Cuz?

I can't comment on that and keeping in mind that the Coles will have a large number of handlers given the numbers they have racing. It's a pretty tight nit community too so people often help out. Someone may have more information as I'm obvs commenting from afar

If you have multiple accounts, they have been closing accounts and communicated such

The issue here is assuming the market is right. Messi was up in class and two dogs including Hinda had better T&D times based on my ratings. Messi's best was the best time in the last 90 days but it was a C1. So I think the market had that one wrong or rather the punters were backing form not performance. Race 5 was another messy race (pun intended) where the better rated dogs had slower box speed. Butler mapped to lead and was dog with the most significant dropback - 2 starts prior was racing in C2 and showed immediate improvement back in C1 last start. Not trying to sound smart after the event but rather it's information that is available and one of the things I like about punting the dogs is the market often gets things wrong.

The TAB cannot offer tote betting on any race involving more than 24 runners. It's actually a classic example of bad database design that creates this limitation although in fairness when the platform was implemented, clearly no one expected to be providing better on English races. So in that context, it makes sense why there was no tote betting but it would seem have been sensible to provide some type of placeholder for the GN for those that aren't interested in database design!

There was a technical issue affecting Chrome 64 with a notice posted yesterday. Still no fix by the looks of things. I'm back using IE ... the irony. https://www.tab.co.nz/information/#news/2018-01-26/technical-update-chrome-64-issues

First, I accept we need to highlight what's wrong but credit to GOM for making the effort to highlight what's right. Liz is rightfully a star and has done a lot for the dogs on screen and off. It's a real pity she's going - she's a real intergenerational star. She has the respect of the old school but is also championing changes ahead particularly with the way information is presented. The fundamentals of racing will always be the same but there is a real need for change in the data and information space - you only need to see the growth of sports betting with younger generations. While it's a pity to see her go she has already left her mark and you never know - she may come back with even more experience and ideas to grow the game. Top person all round.

I stopped posting anything to do with sectionals ratings etc on the instructions of admin. To be fair, his site and he makes the rules.

Shouldn't back the roughies ...

App is on a different platform but the web site still hasn't slowed down yet. Problems with watch and bet seem to be ongoing - I had a problem with Chrome but no such issue with IE.

Interesting. The site seems supercharged today coupled with the fact that they have said top ups will be delayed makes me wonder if they have put in place some backend solutions to cope. Always like to back a roughie so perhaps the site won't crash although I agree it is early days.

Sorry folks but as much as I think the Coalition of Losers is not the right outcome, I don't get why some comments rely so heavy on causal racism and sexism. And I suppose why they have been challenged. Perhaps the closed attitudes of some in racing is one of the reasons racing is in the mess it is.
