I honestly don't want to be a smartarse and I do sympathise BUT....

1. Anyone who makes a proper study of going stick readings (ignore CoC going reports - they are under immense financial pressure to say what gets horses boxes to the track in a desperate bid to maximise field sizes) could tell from early morning it would be lightning quick at Newcastle today.

2. Newcastle even admitted their watering equipment was broken and this info was available online - this is all a recipe for lots of non runners once trainers got to the track and saw what the ground is really like.

3. Any each-way bet on a "dead eight" is vulnerable to being ruined by a non runner - it's not a bet to be having hours before post time.

You could argue this info should be more readily available, but it's "dog eat dog" in this game and any long-term winning punter wants it to be hard for other punters to find out what's going on so they can have an edge over the betting market.

Please don't shoot the messenger on this - I am only trying to offer advice which might help in the future.
