That was baffling.
I wouldn't have been close today anyway. Some of the connections are new for me there (not knowing if some of the lesser known trainers are live). It does seem that they have their share of stiffs (jockey wise) down there too. But are the sequances always this brutal? I guess cheaper horses are less formful (not to mention that every race has about 9 horses) and it makes things even harder. But that 5 today was absolutely unplayable, 47-1 was probably a bit short for her. But the payouts are definately intriguing and at those prices it would only take one to make the meet a profitable one.
