ivanthegreat 1,123 Report post Posted April 17, 2017 I note the TAB have employed this practice recently. When there is an absolute standout they come up with other suggestions or reported " huge win movers " which attract the less cynical of us, recent examples are : 1 ) Race 2 Hawkes Bay When the Good thing of the day Bostonian opening @ $1.90 there is to no surprise the distraction of Lubaya " moving from 51 to 31 to 14 to 10. Trainer who I no reason to doubt say's its not my money. 2) Race 8 Hawkes Bay next best good thing for the day Andano.........big push from all directions for Vinevale. Today at Riverton Race Race 6 Absolute standout bet of the day HOOFBEAT @ $1.85............ from sunrise " reported" rivers of cash coming for ALL BLACK MAGIC moving from $15 to 10 to 6 ? Its a bit like the ole fella telling you all the fish have been caught down there and over here........... THOUSANDS GETTING SUCKED IN. NOW you know the odds ( O'h Yeah ) now beat them.

Cornelius 94 Report post Posted April 18, 2017 Isn't there a former disgraced NZTR employee now doing the fixed odds? Would he have come up with this idea? There have been a few instances of horses odds that have been "questionable", from when they are released from the barrier!

ivanthegreat 1,123 Report post Posted April 20, 2017 Woodville .......... GOOD THING OF THE DAY was COUSTEAU which duly shit in BUT not without our charmless nirks at the TAB force feeding you bullshit ( not dissimilar to French Pate' production ) having you put your hard earned on Lodi coming in from 4's to $2.30. Our on course coverage even had the temerity to suggest several others had good chances. Talking about mirror and smoke magic .
