Speith has to be close to the unluckiest horse in the country. No doubt with even luck he wins both Victoria's premier WFA sprints.
-
So effectively you've backed the 3yos at $2.40. Not sure I'd be be taking that but good luck to you. If Speith was from a big Sydney stable (Waller, O Shea Waterhouse) I think he'd be a clear favourite. Happy to be on him.

Very proud performance. Would have paid anything to be in the north end giving it to those Roar flogs second half.

Winning Rupert favourite? 😜

Do you think Winning Rupert retired as the Best Sprinter in The Land?
Yes or No.
Haha, definitely not. In saying that right at the moment after a disappointing spring from Chautauqua we are lacking an out and out champion.
-
Haha finding this quite enjoyable.

A little for fun. And I wouldn't take it any more seriously than that, it's just a massive grind if you want to make money off it. Like play 10 hours a day playing 12 tables at a time. Just to make what you'd make from working any job in Australia for that time. It's mainly like Eastern European cunts hustling that shit where they can make a good amount of money for their country from it.
What does the house generally take from it?

I did have a big bet on but it didn't bother me from a gambling perspective that he lost. I was more disappointed because I wanted to see him win (aside from the bet).
I still think he was really a $1.30 chance (on all the information available at the time), but even those are going to lose almost a quarter of the time.
It wasn't that bad a day fwiw, not that a day is a meaningful period of time anyway. That whole meeting was a shocker though.
I thought there was just to much discrepancy between him and Global Glamour, a filly that won probable Australia's premier 3yo fillies race just last prep. Anyway, i certainly didn't see a horse coming from a 7th in a benchmark 72 winning it.

Take out a mortgage and get on Winning Rupert while you can get 1.70, will go off at 1.20 and win by a few lengths.
Bad bad day?

I got banned in May after exploiting Chase the bunny.

Chase the Ace back this year. Certainly not as good this year but still good money to be made for anyone with half a brain.

It's official. Stephan Hawking would be a better goalkeeper!

^ Agreed.
On another note, Lloyd > Pike.
I honestly just blindly back Lloyd (as long as < $10 odds) and you can look at his results in recent times to see how that's going for me. The market severely underprices his ability (he wont win another today now that i've said this).
The thing about Pike is that his horses generally run at under the odds. Purely because of the amount of people that follow him you rarely a fair price on one of his. Simply based on riding ability I think Sir William is in the top 5 in the country.

I'm starting to think we'd be better with @strider in our starting XI than this bloke.

Really don't like the official price on Victorian racing now being totally dicatated by the corporates. This further reduces the roll of the on course bookmaker and gives the increasing power to the corporates. We are continually falling closer into line with U.K. betting ways which I have no doubt was the plan all along for major bookmakers.

KGJ you are a dead set cunt!

Well, my opinion is that both of those options will be a resounding fail. For my money there are two front runners - Canberra and Wollongong.
So at what point can I say I told you so?

I don't think so. It is contrary to everything Gallop has said on the subject. And if it does it will go the way of Gold Coast and Townsville.
Financially it's the most stable. Not only because of the financial backing from those Victory pricks. I've heard a major sponsor has already been secured if the bid is successful but also of extremely good stadium deals. Only 5000 per game is required to make it financially viable.
Sure a Tassie side won't enter the competition and grab the countries attention like The Wanderers did but to increase the size of the competition with a team that is close to impossible to fail is a no brainier.

Most of these bids that don't get up will just vanish, Tasmania is a prime eg, stamoulis and beltecky are not funding a B/A2 team, its A league or bust, likewise for any other generic start up, Geelong etc.
a b league will be made up of the likes of Adelaide city, south Melbourne, Brisbane strikers etc, the ffa knows this and that's why we will never see it.
Tasmania's bid will get up.

I'm certainly not Price's biggest fan, but he's 100% right here. It's the left's fault that Donald Trump won because we've allowed our cause to be hijacked by agressive, arrogant, holier-than-thou idiots who refuse to listen to any other argument and counter any opposition to their opinion as racist, sexist, homophobic etc etc. People are sick of being told that their opinion is wrong and then being told that the reason it's wrong is because it just is. The art of debate and logical arguments has been lost and politics has become nothing but name-calling and faux outrage. The way Price was treated sums up the US election result perfectly.
This is truly spot on. My biggest annoyance is when someone from the left simply labels an individual as uneducated for having differing views.

Insufficient support on all fronts to make the venture viable in the longer term. It's not just a matter of plonking an franchise down somewhere and expecting it to be successful - I would have thought FFA would have learned that lesson by now. Problem is that FFA and Gallop flip-flop on this issue on a regular basis. IIRC the latest I've seen from him was that any expansion needed to be focussed on centres with at least 1m population. Tassie just doesn't qualify.
I feel I may have a better understanding on this than yourself. Firstly Tasmanians are ridiculously parochial. Hobart Hurricanes regularly sell out Bellerive Oval despite only having mediocre results. The same happen with the Tassie Devils in the NBL in the 90s every week was packed despite never making the playoffs people still backed a local team on a national stage and only because of poor management mostly on the NBLs behalf they folded.
For years Tasmania rallied for its own AFL team. Had corporate backing even a major sponsor but the AFL chose these larger population areas. Which are still struggling to generate decent crowds.
Now the FFA have the chance to massively leap frog the AFL and commit to the whole state which could have huge benefits. For many years now there has been more registered Soccer players than any other sport in Tasmania. But there has been no reason to support Australian soccer. I have no doubt Soccer could become the number 1 sport in Tasmania simply with the support of the FFA. Remember, it's one thing that David Gallop has long aspired too, for the whole country.
Even targeting these larger population areas are anything then guaranteed to prove successful. Look at this very club. The second club into a sporting city of more than 4.5 million and we consistently attract just 7000 fans.
Whether this happens on not it's great to see that the FFA are clearly getting numerous bids in expanding the A League which I'm sure everyone would agree is promising for the future.

Predict that if it happens it will be a mistake.
On what bases?
