scoobysnacks 386 Report post Posted October 7, 2021 It's called a weather forecast.. the track can change an hour before the race, but bets have to be in by 10am, so not much difference. Also - if fixed odds bets count, I predicted I'm Thunderstruck to firm into around $2.35, so I wanted the earlier price. Furthermore - I'm Thunderstuck has won on good, soft and heavy - so unless Caulfield suddenly becomes a synthetic surface, I think I'll be OK. Thanks for your concerns though.

I did think the same myself, but I'm not a professional punter, so it will be interesting for us all to learn how they operate. Pretty good field that Caulfield race so there will be some good value about if thunderstruck does come into $2.35. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobysnacks 386 Report post Posted October 7, 2021 We're Doomed... bets must be submitted before 10am on race day. I can't wait until 2min before the race to see how the track is playing, bias etc etc. Therefore, I take the value as I see it. I don't need all week to mull over my picks. I do them on Wednesday as soon as the fields are released. I had Thunderstuck penciled in a couple of weeks back, so I must follow through. Had I picked a horse that was a mudlark and needed a heavy 10, with potential rain forecast on Saturday morning, I'd get your point. This is a competition. I would normally place close to 30 bets on a Saturday, so it requires a slightly different strategy, which is fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
