    Barriers are SO important
    These three winners at Melton only achieved their 2nd win in 2yrs but were all well under $10
    Barrier 1 does it for Perfect Stride $5
    Barrier 8 does it for Radius $8
    Barrier 1 does it for Dhaulagirl $5
    All on the fence, all with a cozy sit

    An interesting story on PP this morning
    He points out that Bets placed (not names) are shown on Ladbrokes in real time
    He shows that they took a bet of $300,000 at $1.28 on Destiny Stride

    It reminded me of the big one at Melton on Saturday night where Blake once again copped a bit of pressure but did run along on the fav

    Having previously been required to stand to lose $1000 on Victorian metropolitan meetings win bets and $500 on Victorian country meetings win bets, the policy has been beefed up to include further requirements for wagering service providers.

    They are:

    $2000 win and $800 place minimum bet limits for all Group 1 races
    $1000 win and $400 place minimum bet limits for metropolitan races
    $500 wins and $200 place minimum bet limits for non-metropolitan races

    I am not seeing any change here other than Gp1's Am I missing something?

    No trots today (can't understand why)
    So watching Saturday replays
    I also cannot understand how Ubetcha Tigerpie wins at $10 in 1.52.4
    when he couldn't win at $1.55 in 1.55.1
    I know they are not machines but other than that maybe he is simply tough and he cannot go faster than 26.8 for Q4 so faster is better for him
    Lucky Final Collect did not get to the death or he may have caused trouble again (this time he was $34) or maybe not letting him get there was part of the plan (although that seemed to be more Terry's doing)

    The win

    Very Pretty is an outstanding filly but even outstanding fillies get beat when they race in open company
    I contemplated this this afternoon but not really being a punter just noted who her dangers would be
    Exotic Bushranger ran exactly the same time he rated when winning at Melton a fortnight ago at $2.50
    Tonight he paid $47

    For those who take Odds On, following Emma Stewart today could have wiped you out
    She began OK with her first two at Mildura winning at $1.25 and $1.20
    But her next two LOST at $1.40 and $1.95

    Then at Melton tonight all three runners LOST at $1.30, $1.14 and $1.18

    This is not good for the code. Such ridiculously short odds rarely happen at the gallops - much less lose!

    EDIT: She just had a fourth runner at Melton and it won at $1.12

    This could just as easily have gone in the Drivers thread
    Congratulations to Ryan Sanderson for driving 5 winners at Mildura tonight

    I have put it in the 'Punt' thread due to how profitable it would have been to follow him

    His winners started $2.60, $5, $7, $23 and $8.50
    His other 5 drives also realized 3 placings

    A $1.70 fav, a $1.75 fav and a $2.20 fav are beaten at Caulfield today and The Age is writing stories

    Caulfield track under fire ahead of Cup as favourites go under

    We accept odds on faves being beaten every day of the week in harness racing - they don't at the gallops
