I did - but unfortunately I don't think it's going to make any difference to my picks.
Neither of them have picked up a ride - and where there are some rides still available they are already in the same race.

Whilst procrastinating shall I or shant I for that 4 minutes I went to jump on AOJ - but then those big red letters appeared Suspended !! :(

put in $50 for a bit of fun in sportsbet and they match ur first bet with a free bet :shock:

so i put on the whole $50 on federer . return of $51.50 but i only did it so i could get a free $50 bet ;)

ive never had a jockey challenge bet but sounds like good fun , so i looked at morningtons market and nolen only has 3 rides in the first 3 races, admittadly virtually 3 favs.

c symons has 5 rides at 15/1 13/1 6/1 3.50/1 8/1.

d smith also has 5 rides 26/1 5/1 11/1 4.20/1 6/1.


nolen and symons is 3.20/1 and smith is 5.50/1

which 1 is gunna win?

That will mean you will only win $1.50 as you dont get the original free bet stake back

na i used my $50 cash in that bet. my free bet is going on the jockey challenge. hence why i need a dividend of around 3.20/1 to get 2.20/1 back on the free bet. if that makes sense

thanks guys. i think the key to mornington is the second race (nolen is on the 2.25/1 fav and smithy is on the second fav at 5.1) if smithy can take that race out then that 5.50 looks huge. ok talked myself into it:)

yes sure is . sorry i didnt look at the scratchings first. smithy didnt have a ride in the first.the 26/1 was scratched.

another interesting thing is symons has had 2 rides for duck eggs aswell!! 3 rides to come for both though with smithy 3 points in front of him. fair keen on nolen to miss the place in the next, cant see it happening though.

It is very addictive..lol.

No I don't think they do with harness racing.
They do with dog racing 'box challenges' or similar?
