Saturday 20th June 2026

An ordinary Saturday in racing in Australia. There are 14 meetings,110 races covered by the TAB and prices have been published for every race.

TABCORP a private company in operation since most State Governments handed over the State Totalisers to big business.

I recall the squeals from the TAB at the time when they were obliged by competition to offer fixed price betting now a daily operation, requiring a teams of analysts, a large salary bill. If the laws around gambling in NSW have any substance then these prices have to be offered to proscribed sums of money. These analysts are the best so if the punter is attempting to make the game pay that is not a possibility

As the most experienced horse rater in the world still possessing a razor sharp ‘bacon rind’ You can compete if you have over 60 years of mindless numbers thinking.

I have been documenting a selection of long shot tips since a few months back. They are not going so well. From the outset let me say analyzing any one 14 horse race should take a long time. Possibly less than an hour but certainly well over 20 minutes. I am playing around using some of the rules I have learned over the years. Little time is given to the selections they are for my benefit to keep me honest. But if cannot earn coin? Sooner or later we will get serious as my development around my analyzing software package takes place. The point being that value could exist in Port Hedland rather than Melbourne and you would have to use a computer analysis to determine if mistakes are possible and have been made by the analysts mentioned prior.

NO TIPS FRIDAY SOME LATER TODAY WITH POSSIBLY An ANALYSED RACE OR ANOTHER.

“Via Sistina near best horse import to Australia, just below Europe’s top half dozen… but did cost over $6 million AUD. The same buyer bought Alcohol Free for double that sum but she remained unsung. a tale of luck for Waller not so for Gai. V. S. Prize money in Australia more than auction outlay. But she really struggled to win in 2025 and the amateurs at Longines have included her in World Ratings again at a reduced rating from the home hype she was given when winning by lengths.”
