    Vicbred Super Series Finals

    The semi's

    http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fie...&fromstate=vic

    I am expecting at least 7 winners

    but $3 for 9 or more winners is ridiculous

    Races aren't on paper but on paper it would seem like this:

    Wins Race#s 1,3,4,6,7,10,11,12

    Possibly win Rc #s 2,5

    Maybe win Rc#s 8,9

    Footy players say its never as good as it seems and its never as bad as it seems, so perhaps they won't have as a big as expected. Kev your stats also point to odds on favourites getting beaten sometimes (although I wonder if Stewarts odds on faves have a better record than the general population?). My prediction is they win 7.

    Their strike rate with odds on pops is only marginally better than the average Brendan with 12 winners from 18 or 66%
    13 from 19 after Semi 1 win and it is only going to get better tonight as I do not think they will have 12 odds on faves
    It is only a small sample of 19 now but when they have an odds on pop they have always been $1.70 or shorter

    ps It has been a very early start tonight - not everybody can get off that early but they love to catch the last of the gallops punters

    How easy has harness racing been for Peter Gleeson. He gets a hold of a mare Hot Foot (1976) and ever since has had a stable full of stars. Ride High might even turn out to be the best of them

    The Quaddie pays $7.70
    The early Quaddie paid $19.10 and that was with 2 favourites beaten!

    Brendan was on the right track with his rationalization that not all odds on pops win
    They were above average tonight with 7/10 = 70%
    and Emma Stewart 6/8 = 75%
    With the stable 6/7 with odds on pops coming into the last (86%) we just had to 'play the odds' that they were due for a loss and we would have been ecstatic (Soho Burning Love $17 fixed odds)
    In the race before Major Sea ($81 FO) was going to get there in another metre or two and that would have been a real upset!

    So the Stewart stable gets 8 semi winners in the end
    and Sportsbet's book was right ($3.30 for exactly 8 - what a hard way to triple your money!)
