Why are they running a top horse like that on  concrete at the end of a long season ?

I dont think MD can carry that wait and beat this field. Quite a few Peter false favorites on tomorrows card.
I made Bob a better bet than most the false favs.

Frankie Zackey...Unfortunately it's an on-going thing when bookmakers price up,, instead of pricing up the horse they pricing up Tony Peter...I wouldn't exactly call them false but favorites that are priced up incorrectly... Main Defender is priced up at 6/10,, I personally feel there'll be plenty evens available race time...

Frankie Zackey...Definitely not... We felt that Calvin is not riding well at the moment,,whether it's the pressure that's got the better of him we don't exactly know,, riding for a yard where lots is expected surely must take it's toll when there's a few slip-ups...Riding all over the place must also be extremely tiring stressful,, i salute Richard,, Muzi and other that travel... I remember when i was Agent to Weichong Marwings,, he never enjoyed the travelling,, it eventually drains you out...My honest and humble opinion,, if I was Calvin I would take 2/3 weeks off,, the rest and being away from racing will do him the world of good...

@ Frankie Zackey I am very curious why are you running a TOP horse like this in the worst going of the year in Joburg for a miserly stake cheque?

The Africa House @ 8-1 Win and 7-10 Top 3 with only 48kg looks a better proposition.

He rode a trebble for the yard last weekend and midweek he was on 4 horse that all drifted, of which he finished 2nd on 1.  I don't think that too bad form in the last week?

It's an illness in the south, check the medical books-  "Blame the jockey syndrome"
