Looking at the stats one has to say no.
Tarry almost double in next in winnings and his comm about R2.1
But remember he did not get that high last year and who knows about next year
What about the rest, not close in earnings
Also not many good punting stables around
Who would you rate as tops?

They get rich by punting the horses.

Ask the trainers that hand their licenses in because they are bad gamblers

If that were true trainers would be the biggest owners in South Africa

They really battle...that's why their kids are at private schools.

Besides if it was such a bad game why do the majority of trainers get their kids involved?

yes.your patrons buy average price horses,the trainer has some muti that the authorities can't detect yet and you punt these horses and make a killing until you get caught,pay the fine unless authorities don't fine you and sweep the positive under the rug,they warn you in private and the trainer moves on to the new muti they using in aus and usa and the cycle continues.this is all hypothetical of course.lol.
