Yes, but that is the exception rather than the rule e.g. horse doesn't eat up after winning and comes out three days later with a fixed penalty (the obvious thing to do) and all the punters want to back it (obviously) but connections think the last race might have taken its toll (understandable as he didnt touch his food when he normally licks the pot), but it still wins handy.

 

However, I know owners with horses in four or five different yards and there are things I know about both their own horses and their trainers other horses that the public couldn't possibly know. This has been very useful from a punting perspective, and one of the reasons I don't bet (except the odd fiver here and there on a saturday) other than on horses where I have an inside line, and then I go heavy simply on the basis that I am getting value. Where others see a nought, I know there was a reason. Horse should be 5/1 and is 12/1. The Hard Hat is a perfect example from last season. Overpriced the two days he won after running in mid field the previous times when there was an excuse. 7/1 and 10/1. It doesn't always work but....


5 + 3 = ?
