They should be on a level playing field with the punter. If Chris Waller has $1000 win on Winx that information is private. Raises the question if a trainer has several starters in a race the one he bets on is obviously dynamite information. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. Both poor judges of value. But let me know if they do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they obviously paid good money for Boss to ride In A Twinkling. I wonder who's insane decision it was to have him 3 wide leaving the straight....Boss, Richards or Ellis. It was def intentional....and very costly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has proven to be the best 3yo stayer in NZ and has never seen the rail in any of his starts yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raises the question if a trainer has several starters in a race the one he bets on is obviously dynamite information. There are two options for bookies to deal with winning punters. They can ban them, which leads to complaints to consumer organisations that bookies are discriminating against people by not offering the same odds to everyone and leads to winning punters using bowlers to get bets on (or racing authorities bringing in minimum bet limits, meaning that anyone taking bets on, say, NSW gallops, has to accept any bet from anyone to lose 2k after 9am on raceday). Or bookies can "cop the tip"; accept the bet from the winning punter and accept the fact that they'll lose money to this punter long term, but that the information they get from seeing this good punters bets will help them figure out their markets. You'd have a hard time telling bookies that they aren't allowed to know who is placing a particular bet, especially since there are AML reasons and racing integrity reasons that they could use as excuses.

I agree with this. I'd make it that bets by connections have to be placed and stewards notified by 9am so they can be publicised as early as possible. It's not much use being told the trainer has climbed into one 10 minutes before the off when you placed all of your bets for the day before the first or left it out of your quaddie.
