Frankie Zackey...You should know better that tote dividends keep changing every minute...I've seen tote dividends change up until the race is almost over...How many times have you witnessed outright tote favorites being changed after the race ? How long have you been racing my bru

The Tote’s In The Slow Lane – But What Exactly Happened?
Thanks for raising an interesting point, Ross. In doing research I found that there were studies done by Standard Chartered Bank and Deloittes commissioned by the Turf Clubs in the early 1990s.. Neither prganisation recommended the public company model. Then there was the State Presidential appointed Howard Commission on Gambling Policy 1993, of which I have a copy. Justice Howard noted that the racing industry's historical income stream through the TOTE was required to be afforded some type of protection if alternative forms of gambling were to be allowed. He also stated that he did not favour the public company model. These studies were prior to the negotiations to set up Phumelela between 1995 and 1998.
At the Public Protector hearings in 2018, it emerged that the Minister of Finance for the Gauteng Government, Mr Moloketi, said in his deposition that he had not seen or been aware of any of these documents in the negotiation leading up to the formation of the public company. Asked why the Government insisted on the creation of the public company, he said that they did not and that they had complied with a request by the racing industry itself through what was then the Highveld Racing Authority. This is not what racing told its constituents at the time - just the opposite in fact - the Government was said to have obliged the Turf Clubs to comply.
Japan and Hong Kong are countries where the tote has a monopoly granted by the State. The French... read more

Dan you are 100% CORRECT, THE WEIGHT LAST YEAR was not earned and cost the fella. BUT a year later and he has gone up another 10 points in MR for winning 1 race out from 5 starts. I think his merit rating is way out!!!
another question is 'has this runner got over from what bug he picked up in CT' he should not have run in the Met,, he looked dull in coat and eye
another possible problem is Pierre's July style which sees him going rather soon for the post ,, last year as with London News come to mind with the latter almost losing to 66/1 Sleek Machine trained Herman Brown Snr.
the odds are stacked against this good horse and should he draw poorly then its TT,,,
BUT Pierre is a champion and just perhaps he outsmarts the likes of those who had him so easily boxed in last

Sometimes All It Takes Is An Expert Eye…
This is a great article on acclamation.
Expert Eye was a talented galloper will never forget his victories in the Jersey and Breeders cup(shock result).
Of course the pre-eminent juddmonte farms being the breeder only marvelous for the south African market.
Let's not forget about Twice Over who is also another product of the famed farm who has really been wonderful.
He will be managed by Sally a horsewoman of note.The Eye has a really good chance of making a real dent for Acclamation in this neck of the woods.
I also think we should get sons of invincible spirit through his son kingman.Kingman is definitely blood we should have in this country.
Together with Blue Point.Those are future
