Barrier trials were in vogue in America 40 years ago. They ostensibly were used by horsemen to give their horses some experience before they ran. But sometimes horses "ran in on them" and spoiled a betting coup, so they stopped them. Racing worldwide is an insiders' game. Only when it is truly run for the good of all will the game have any chance to regain its former glory. Treating punters like rubes only serves to alienate

I injured my knee in 2015 when accelerating to the fridge.
I made a remarkable recovery and 2 days later kept my balance to polish off the granadilla fridge

The irony of all these well made comments supporting the abolishment of barrier trials is that the so called “powers to be” remain notably silent. Instead they continue to postulate an obligation of a barrier that’s well publicized as simply a means to an end for the marketing hard to sell or spec horses, by a handful of trainers. That’s a selfish motivation considering that no more than 4 or 5 conditioners support the unenviable obligatory barriers! The trainers should take a stand and with the permission of owners, boycott any future nominations pending a resolution to this farce. Transparency has always been quoted as the name of the game. Accordingly, the majority should have a say in what’s best for all

Should PE Be Closed To Cape Raiders?
It’s cherry picking for the cape trainers to raid PE with a superior horse and they know exactly what they doing when they nominate.
If a cape trainer raids PE, a rule must be put in place by raising the mr by 8 points that adds up to about 4 lenths that should equal the playing field.
Most of these cape raiders are superior to the PE horses by 4 to 5 lengths that should sort out the superior horses raiding PE.
Cape horses that haven’t got the ability to race in the cape let them stay in PE with a PE trainer.
Then you get the people saying what about the owner......yes they are right.....what about the PE owner. THEY HAVE TO PAY TRAINING FEES AS WELL.

Punting Annoyances – What’s Your Favourite?
Crikey Ian, my sentiments as well.
What I've gathered is that all these annoyances listed/mentioned by the various bloggers are so common and frequent. There is consensus.
Footnote - I'm so tried of hearing about the prawns, chips and that bloodly fabulous sauce ....my God, yes there's something called Ocean Basket, Phumelela !
So top management at Tellytrack force their presenters to push the sauce, on

Punting Annoyances – What’s Your Favourite?
1. Taking a bet on overseas racing, watching that race until the final few furlongs, then cut-off & missing the finish due to having to watch horses in the parade ring in SA.
2. No need to read local tipsters' tips - just check the betting. They regularly pick the first 3 favourites - in that order!
3. On the same subject, does anyone take notice of the tips on the "Free Tab sheets"? It's a monotonous Fav, 2nd fav, 3rd fav race after race. Presumably someone is getting paid for this....
4. Continuous Betting World adverts on TT. Are Betting World the controlling force behind TT ?
5. Presenters & tipsters (???) wearing different logo'd shirts, depending upon which bookie is sponsoring the show. Presumably also on the

Barrier trials serve no purpose , what is the point of only having them in K.Z.N. and the rest of S.A. owners & trainers do not have this obligation foisted upon them - that in itself is illogical as N.H.A. is responsible for governance of horse racing in the entire country

Punters smiling ? more like relieved after only 30+_ tickets winning in the last week except for the pennies pay outs at Durbanville and Fairview, Its relief not smiles. The racing still managed to get the 20/1 shot with the all the favs although I have no idea how that horse was 20/1 ? ( the bomb dropped !! terribletrack love it !! ) When you do win the P6 its pennies because you are chasing the BOMB. I have won 3 P6 in the last 4 weeks at a loss of hundreds chasing the lottery 1% .....That big debate on the P6 was for show I presume.....all the chat about how to improve the punters chances ? another waste of time and energy to make the powers that be seem legitimate. They love the carry overs, it looks great in the offices of back slapping agenda driven authorities who are still looking after their own narrow interests......Why the debate on the P6 ? why the obvious lack of interest to improve the exotics ? It was all distraction.....a bit of a con, a false narrative....oh yes the roulette of course !!....the usual thing like the barrier trials put in for the punter only to be manipulated to suit a few individuals who are out to pull a fast one...but thats ok like all the other things that go on an a daily basis, the show goes on.....Well done Gavin. Lets see how the lottery oops the P6 goes this weekend at 3 different venues like last weekend, feast or famine...How are those numbers doing ? take the carryovers away and the P6 are small pots now....excellent, great...(click here to view the rest of this comment)

The P6 debate was false flag....they have no intention of improving punters chances, it was all a big PR stunt. The back slapping authorities have to have the carryovers to hide the massive drop in P6 pots. The last week only 30 + winners except for two meets that paid pennies so when you do catch it, its pennies. Its lottery as the results attest to.....good luck with the smaller pots....it s going the same way as the lottery because people perceive the manipulation.....The barrier trials was the latest punter friendly thing to do or so we thought but guess what, its been manipulated to rip us off and look after a few individuals.....but all is good, no
