Rachel Can Bring Prince Home Today

Oh yes, Rachel will definitely bring home the Pirate Prince.
Long overdue.
Fast track like the Poly will suit.
He's a FRONT RUNNER.
P.S.
Has Richard Fourie been given his R1M yet, for surpassing Delpechs record?
Was just wondering if a special occasion was being

The Stars Look Ahead To The New Season

Sanjay Kandhai, you seems new to this Platform so will give a small hand
The guys on here are--
Cecil Peinaar
Cecil loves Hollywoodbets Scottsville race course,
One can say, a little bitty more than his home language
Has no time for trainer Mike De Kock
Still chasing that elusive big Pick 6 after all these years
Michael Jacobs
Let's state upfront he is from the Cape Flats
That should tell you something
Pushes for the 10 cents Pick 6 which annoys big money punters

Talking of big money punters.
Frankie Zackey, is the king
Thinks he knows all to be known about horse racing and punting
Carries water for trainers Mike de Kock and of late Tony Peter
Loves any Champ or Champion

Geoff Logan
As honest as they come
Not much on him
George McDonald
Now George is just an Old grumpy man
Wishes he was betting into races with horses named Send Me, Lucknow, Elevation and so named
Has no idea about Merit Rating or for that matter winners
Loves niggling Frankie

Gauteng Government Appeal Bid Fails – R500 Million Could Flow Back To Racing

This is very good news for the operator/s surely, as the 6% is the "lifeblood" for racing and it was catastrophic to stop it in the first place!! With the tote on the decline, exotic pools shrinking and bookmakers monopolizing the horse betting market, to sustain racing into the future any revenue that can be recovered from bookmakers should be pursued at all costs! The Gauteng govt and public protector caused severe damage to the industry and livelihoods of

Guys guys guys. This is racing something we supposed to be enjoying. Forget about betting odds etc. and congratulate those who are champions. Wish all trainers and jockeys and owners very best for the new season. N.B. I do not punt but rather enjoy watching the skill of horses trainers and jockeys.

Frankie Zackey... There's been a good few that RF booted home... What's more impressive is that many many many of his winners were priced up at 5/1 and better ... What George must not forget is that when bookmakers were pricing up,,they were pricing up RF and not the Horse,, they were doing the exact same thing with Tony

Mike de Kock Extends Thanks To Betting Companies

I recall during and after COVID that Hollywood, the Oppenheimer family and others contributed generously to saving SA racing.

Offcourse what they were really doing is ensuring there were betting opportunities for their patrons and in the case of the Oppenheimer's - the survival of their breeding enterprise.

DSTV has been sponsoring the Professional Soccer League in SA to the tune of +1 billion over the last few years. This is one of the reasons they in such a dire financial situation - because nobody around the world was prepared to pay for the third class product so they were stuck with the full cost.

Now BETWAY has taken over - this is probably their biggest growing market.

Now we finding out the UNTHINKABLE THING that several of our Olympians had to pay their own way for France.

The likes of BETWAY will sponsor a diabolically poor product like SA soccer - that will never ever reach the heights of being an Olympic Athlete.

Yes I suppose it's their

Thanks Mr. Ed. Don't worry too much. At some stage, the jockeys and trainers stats included a percentage of favourites to winners. I am of the opinion that Richard rode a fair percentage of decent priced winners. I am not denying that he was beaten on many favourites but a lot his rides were priced up at restricted odds because of his incredible strike

Hello Mr Ed, hoe gaan dit in die Kaap. Wat sê die weer voorspelling

The only 10s in Richard's wins are 5/10 and maybe 33/10 shots 🙂 but so what

He is the Champ, if others decided to only ride at home, good for them ...and a cool Million as a bonus.

Aag wat, almal is bored with No racing, nou praat ons bietjie k.. 🙂
