She should be 4th in the betting

If only Craig Rail was a bookie, he assessed Imperials Reason (R6 Melton) at $8
Paid $3

Rob Auber went a little exotic with his suggested bets for the second half of the card at Yarra Valley today

R5 $3 to get the $3.50 Quinella
R6 $6 to get the $17.80 Quinella
R7 $60 but missed the $122 Tri
R8 $10 to get the $6.70 Quinella
R10 $3 to get the $3.50 Quinella

If you took $30 worth in each race you would have finished about $30 in front

Charlton
R1 $1.45 fav wins by a nose
R2 $1.15 fav wins by a half head

It has to take a toll on the pros

I find it hard to believe that our TAB took a $6,000 bet at $20.60 = $123,600 to $6,000 on a 11.44am Thursday race at Charlton (He must be a big loser with them)

We are talking about a superbly bred first starter drawn the pole in a 4 horse race against non-winners who collectively had had 33 starts for 0 wins

20/1

$2.60 instead of $20.60 I am tipping

I really think at the top of the Odds column, we should be making it clear that these are the tipsters rating - not likely odds

eg JB's assessment of Dangerous in R7

This week Four Corners is all about Australia's out of control punt

We are the world's biggest losers.
Maybe they should add: the world's biggest idiots - I mean how can so many fall for the hype that it is more fun watching if you lose on it too

I have an ever so occasional bet, no doubt because I think the odds are in my favour - let's face it, having a superannuation fund is a bet
But as for falling for the nonsense of having a multi on everything I watch or hear about - I have a matured brain and we need to protect those who do not yet

The totes can be misleading
Correct me if I am wrong (for I am only a tiddler)
After the longshots got up in R6 the tote says the First Four paid $24,555 (with a $10,667 Jackpot)
But the pools says there was only $13,906 on the First Four

So nobody actually won $4k

Somebody/combo of people only had the F4 for a %. I think
