[goraw]

also like bargain basement at globe tonight.$13 atm. took it 10 eachway.race 7 no 7.

[mighty_tiger_79]

i have taken the gold ace 40 wins @ $6 fixed. and $100 place @ 2.05

yeah i like gold ace also

[goraw]

should lead but the fav will be right on his back. can he hold him out is the issue.

[mighty_tiger_79]

fav only been beating moderate opposition

[goraw]

yep this is the big test.

[jackpot jim]

yep this is the big test.

And failed it. Every chance. Ridiculous it went around odds on.
I spent a stack on the F4 without the fave to win but still missed it. Oh well, it only paid 60 odd K

[goraw]

mines still running i think

[mighty_tiger_79]

well got the fav beat, so a profit was made but wouldve been better with gold ace running a place atleast

[goraw]

Well spotted Mal i would hate anyone to miss out on the chance to get apiece of the $337 pool

this is quite amusing for the sake it makes little sense.

According to the rival forum Globe Derby on last sat night had entry at

$10 adults
$5 conc
under 12 free entry

so if you take a teenager aged between 13 and 17 who cant bet or drink, why are they charged full tote odds???

Absolutely brilliant administration. goes along with GRSA and the forum a number of years ago arguing free entry undermines the integrity of the sport!

Almost belongs in best jokes thread!

Most 13 to 17 year olds would have a student card so would get in at concession price. It's Globes two big nights of the year so surely can't complain too much about the admission cost.

Agree very strange 12-17 year olds have to pay considering they get no added benefit than an 10 year old would get very strange.

Would definatly turn off alot of families who would think about going but then have to pay $30 for two adults, two kids.

If my children were older there is no way i would spend $30 just on entry.

Combine that with the fact you cant take your own drinks in (which i can understand but dont like) its no wonder crowds there are almost non exsistent.

Can sit at home pay no entry fee, get a better view of the race, watch other sports that are also on the Saturday night, drink alot cheaper alcohol, while being able to get a bet on without leaving my couch or having to line up.

You certainly wouldn't go to Oakbank Easter carnival (at least you can take your own grog) or Adelaide Cup then.

No haven't been to Oakbank in years,

Don't get me wrong I do enjoy going to horse racing meets, it's just hard to justify when I can

-sit at home in air conditioning
-not spend $20 on entry for me and wife
-pay $5-$6 for a beer when I can buy a six pack
- have sportsbet account and laptop and phone app
-flick through sport on foxtel in between races

But in saying that I have had some cracker laughs there with one safooty trots guru!!!!
