today my brother & i drove down with 2 trotting drivers to victor & they had a drive in the same race at one stage today, now as we were talking on the way down they both knew they had no chance of winning but were competitive enough to think they could beat each other home so they had a bet on it as to who beat who home the bet was 1 schnitzel & a beer at a pub during the week so the loser gets $25.00 losing driving fee & now now has to spend the best part of $20.00 to pay the bet off, so he/she ends up with a $5.00+ profit for the day :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

ps this type of betting with these two happens frequently

SHOULD BE OUTLAWED, DRIVERS or JOCKEYS found engaging in a bet on a race where they are involved should feel the force of the stewards

& for those reasons involved, do not name any jockeys or drivers in here (or even hint- again, pm each other any controversial stuff)

Yes - Professional drivers..

Bayman - i'm on your side here. (i.e. A Touch of Flair) puts D Douglas on - the horse is going 10-15m better now.. what can we say, put on monkeys and back losers, put on professional drivers and back winners.
