Hi Eben
Good question - maybe fact that only 7 races on card limited their choices.
Will ask them as we are not sure about science behind fields selection, at all.

Dear Sir
Could you or anyone of your readers please explain or enlighten the rationale of adding an unraced field of fourteen Purebred Arabians in Abu Dhabi Race 1 in the Quickmix PA and Pick6.Obviously there is NO form and I cannot find one website anywhere that offers or show betting in this race or any other race on this Abu Dhabi card.Can anyone help or do I use a pin or dart.Thank

Newsflash: Accident – Fairview Delayed
Hi Peter
Here is the Stipes report on that race:
RACE 5 : REF 169 – 4RACING.TV MR 96 HANDICAP : POLY 1200M
Starter: Mr D Kempthorne Loading time: 55 sec Runners: 9
Carded time: 14h55
Rescheduled time: --
Off time: 14h55.23
Provisional result: 14h59.13
All Clear: 15h06.01
THE STARTER REPORTED:
a) FAMILY LAW (L Mxothwa) jumped slow, losing one length.
THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a) Shortly after the start FAMILY LAW (L Mxothwa) shifted in sharply towards the inside running rail and thereafter, had to be steadied on the inside of INHERIT THE RAIN (X Ndlovu) for a number of strides.
b) Approaching the 950m INHERIT THE RAIN (X Ndlovu) faltered and stumbled badly. As a consequence, FAMILY LAW (L Mxothwa), which was close behind, was unable to take evasive action and fell over INHERIT THE RAIN (X Ndlovu), which resulted in both jockeys simultaneously being dislodged from their fallen mounts. FAMILY LAW and INHERIT THE RAIN were attended to on course by the Veterinary Surgeon. Jockey’s L Mxothwa and X Ndlovu were attended to on course by the paramedics and subsequently by the on course Medical Officer. This precluded Jockey’s L Mxothwa and X Ndlovu from being able to weigh in. In terms of Rule 66.2 the Stewards were satisfied that both Jockey’s L Mxothwa and X Ndlovu had carried the correct weight.
c) Jockey C Zackey reported that LEDELL’S ECHO made an abnormal... read more

As usual there are a myriad of opinions regarding the actions taken by the NHA. Unfortunately these opinions are not supported by fact.
Let me enlighten the Fredrick and Adrians of the world on some facts.
The first fact is that the kangaroo court that is the NHA do not have rules that have higher standing than those contained in the constitution of this country. I documented this before the beginning of the Peter witch hunt. Believe me there is a very good reason why the Peter "trial" has been adjourned in the Kangaroo Court and referred to the High Court.
For once the board hearing the case have admitted that they cannot steamroll a verdict as has happened previously at that "esteemed" authority. The NHA will lose the Peter case in the High Court, and they will lose it badly. Any keyboard warrior, besides MJ, want to put their money where their mouths are regarding this - I will lay you evens that the Peter family will win their case. If you have faith in the NHA Racing Control department then take me on. Donations are always welcome.
Let's talk facts and have a look at what the constitution of South Africa says regarding an independent regulator's right to deny an individual from making a living:
: Due Process and Proportionality: Regulatory bodies must follow due process when imposing restrictions. For example, there should be an investigation, a fair hearing, and a reasonable justification for any action taken.... read more

Stop generalising and acting like you know me - I know the likes of you and others here think you experts on everything racing.
I suspect you've spent too much time with certain people at BettingWorld to be objective about AF.
I've been a racing enthusiast since one of my bosses gave me R200 and told me to back a horse - that horse has Hoeberg.
I also have been doing my own handicapping - I realised that you can identify value in advance.
I only take place bets - here is a message I sent out to some on Tuesday morning:
"Race 3 Kenilworth - I suspect the bookies have the betting wrong in this race. I watched the Nel horse canter to the start on her debut and she looked classy - she ran well and finished second. The Snaith horse that beat her won again on Saturday. Iam not sure what happened in her second run but Durbanville can be tricky especially when the going is fast. Remember Beach Bomb last year - once they went back to Kenilworth she won two G1's. She is down the straight today and the jockey can balance and get her into the race. She should run very very well today."
The horse won easily and I did relieve the bookies of some cash on my 3 places bet.
Talking out of my pocket - no man not me. If you like you can also get my analysis when I fancy one very
