Another hollywood deep in the red

Not having a dig at Hollywood's as they have done so much for local horse racing but when bookmakers sponsor jockeys,trainers and race courses it looks so dodgy and rightfully so.
But where would our racing be without Hollywood Bets?

Why on earth would you give up your tactical speed over a rival on a quick-running track. Such an odd decision to tuck the Fav in, I'm gobsmacked. Yes, I am talking from my pocket. Mindboggling.

How's that explanation Bob,from JAP?
So you see some did find a problem with the ride,and this is not from some mickey mouse punter.

Durbs, I don't actually have a problem with the ride, I just battle to understand the decision to change tactics. It's one of the main reasons I very seldom back horses at short prices, there's just not enough upside in it.

In this case I didn't even for one second contemplate that they may decide to tuck the horse in, but that's the game.

We all make mistakes, imo they did with the tactics, but I don't see anything skullduggerous in what happened.

You right tactics can decide races.
4 Allende 1.00 0.83 0.72 0.67 0.63 0.67 0.72 0.63 0.56 0.50
Shortest horse of the day and heavily backed,would have been in many peoples doubles and trebles,and they think it's the right time to experiment.
