The domination turned to near perfection at Mildura tonight - lucky for other trainers he only had 7 runners in 4 races tonight. He won all 4 races, got the Trifecta in his 3 horse race and the Quinella in his 2 horse race. Unbelievable. He now has 46 winners for the season and I would hazard a guess that 40 of them have been at Mildura. I guess you are going to be happy staying in a small pond when the eating is so good
Bad night for the stable at Mildura tonight - only won 3 of the 4 races they contested
Shayne first winner since back driving - Copthewrath LOL
Suspended again .Have taken Mildura off my punting list owing to his domination not good for the sport
I don't quite understand this Brian.....u are talking about punting and the stable is dominating, then surely there is $$ to be had??Quote:

I'm just a punter/lover of the sport and if I'm missing something here I'd love someone to point it out to me. Cheers
Mate horses start short priced which is not for me.When he has more than one horse in a race team driving possibility makes me wary.I like races which are open i also dont bet anywhere that the McCarthys are for same reasons and im not alone in that.
Good luck to him for building the team to be so strong in that area but as i say it is not good for sport.
Respect your opinion Brian, especially not punting with multiple trained runners in a race......I preach this to anyone who'll listen. I just don't understand how it's no good for the sport, but I'm not an owner or trainer.
Why its not good for the sport Brent is the average punter wont bet on a race where there is an odds on pop and Cramps horses are usualy odds on.The industry has a high occurence of this.And like it or not the sport has always been known as the redhots or cheating chariots.
I have no idea what can be done
I never quite understand the fallacy of not betting because of a shorty. Just because there is a shorty the markets are still framed to the same %. Same amount of value to be found. Meanwhile sports betting just keeps on increasing market share even though you have faves in the red every single time.Quote:

Since betfair has come along I've always wondered how the math would turn out if one was to bet (or lay) every runner (all 3 codes) that started at 1/4 or shorter. Someone out there might know.
