08/04/2014 Horse Racing Tips

Punting on the horses is not easy at the best of times. When the track is wet it makes it a lot harder. Lets take Rosehill on Saturday for example. Winners seemed to come down the middle of the track at the start of the day however by the time the Golden Slipper was run it appeared that the rails was the way to go. Mossfun must have cut 5 lengths of his turn into the straight compared to the rest of the field, making up for a sluggish start to the race which found him at the back of the field. He seemed to make even more ground on the field as his run continued in the straight with out any apparent bias against him. Apparently it was the Pumper himself who guided young jockey James McDonald to take the inside running however it needed to right on the rail according to Cassidy. The poor old punter who spent the night before doing their speed maps for the race would have been wondering why they even bothered after they past the post regardless of who they had their money on.

With the rain setting in for pretty much the entire week it's a wonder that punters managed to find enough winners to post a descent profit at all. We can however report that this week's Top 10 profit makers includes its fair share of big cash winners, seven of whom are punters and with three from the media.
