    Unortunately guys the average punter who is not a rusted on Harness supporter has other options to laying odds on.
    Was told when i was a youngster (a long time ago ) 2 things to never do in life
    1 lay odds on
    2 Run up stairs.
    Have followed those rules all my life to old to change now.

    Since betfair has come along I've always wondered how the math would turn out if one was to bet (or lay) every runner (all 3 codes) that started at 1/4 or shorter. Someone out there might know.
    I have commented on this before - I would not fancy doing it for the trots as long odds on are often beaten (when not Cramp horses) and nobody bats an eyelid. Would not know about the dogs but at the races it rarely happens - it is the main racing story in the next day's newspaper if it does.

    There was a guy in Sydney years ago known as The Fireman. He would take the shorts on the gallopers every week, But had some serious cash to back him up. It was not uncommon for him to have 100k on an odds on shot and he made a pretty fair living out of it. Not much value backing the short priced favourites, But if your clever enough, There's value in the exotics.

    4 Winners tonight to now be 58 for the most winners in Vic this season ( to Emma Stewart's 57 ). I know he made the drivers invitational viable tonight but is he scaring other trainers off? With these races being non penalty you would not expect one trainer to have 3 out of 9 runners in one heat and 4 out of 6 in another (he also had 3 of 6 runners in another race).

    Name was Eddie Birchley and he went broke pretty quick.

    Think he was around for a while Ron, but as you say, he went broke pretty quick. I guess could say, nothing's really a certainty no matter how short the odds.

    Adding to irony by driving Copthewrath, its granddam Southern Sugar (a sire stakes winning mare) is by Popular Alm. Messenger would probably say not since V Knight at Kilmore has anybody dominated a track like Cramp at Mildura!
    Possibly the best performed line descending from the great Popular Alm?

    I don't remember Vinny getting a treble every meeting Brendan - another treble tonight (including a first four) to bring up 62 Vic winners for SJC so far this season - I reckon about 50 of them would be at home. Could a trainer ever win 100 races at the one track in a season ?!
