Ive had enough and the frustration of the last 7 days has me quiting dog previews
MON 3/9
Had a great night tipping 3 winners and 1 placing in 4 races and on top of the world
THU 6/9
This is where the frustration started
A dozen Interstate dogs over for the meeting making it very difficult to assess
I could only work on 3 races and found a couple of winners
MON 10/9
I studied for just over 2 hours evaulating this meeting on Sunday night
Today there are 11 scratchings affecting 8 races
I now have to re study every race as even reserves play a part in how a race digests
The frustration is the following
SCRATCHINGS
2 dogs ran 3/9
1 dog ran 5/9
8 dogs ran 6/9
Yep 8 dogs scratched after the 4 day break
And I wonder how many more that raced last Thursday are also not 100% right tonight ?
The industry is dominated by trainers who are eking out a living
or training for recreational purposes
Most of the trainers know ther dogs and how to race them
Some back up dogs intermittently during a prep and the dogs race OK
However some trainers seemingly thrash their dogs all the time and these dogs are suspect to bet on.
Gone are the days where I could punt on 11 races by studying form and tapes
These days there is too much guess work when analylising the form due to fitness issues
I leave this final legacy for people following form
NEVER BACK A DOG WHICH STARTED LESS THAN 7 DAYS AGO
NEVER BET IN A RACE WHEN INTERSTATE DOGS ARE ENGAGED
ONLY FOLLOW GOOD TRAINERS
