Gosford 11th August 2016
The meeting at Gosford today sees the rail go out to the 4m position. Most “rail-out” positions at Gosford produce a fast lane against the rails, and the expectation is that Leaders on the fence and rails-in-run horses will be strongly favoured. Barrier 1 demands the utmost respect.
Glennsta’s Birdie.
Glenn Pollett is sweet on a debutante in the opener at 12.35pm. MACKELLAR’S LOVE caught his eye at the Randwick trials, and the rider of the moment, Deanne Panya, is on board. He expects to get the program off to a flying start.
Pearla’s Push
Race 3 #13 STRYKE A RANSOM (1.45pm) debuted on this course a fortnight back and was put to the sword by Joe Pride’s Sugar Bay Leonard (a hot contender in the 4.10pm today). With Team Hawkes favourite Larapineta possibly lacking early toe from a wide draw and Gerald Ryan’s touted debutante Oakfield Rickie starting out as a 5yo, Tim Clark may be able to steer Stryke A Ransom into a favourable in-run position
Marc's Story
I have been following and researching Australian racing form since 1976, with a particular emphasis on Sydney. In 1987, I quit my law studies to pursue a full-time career in the Sydney betting ring, and in 1988, was approached by then leading rails bookmaker, Peter Todd, to provide him with an accurate priceline with which to frame the market, and to make decisions about which horses to lay, to keep, or to back. I began offering these assessments publicly soon after. In 1990, I took out a bookmaker's licence, and fielded on the provincial tracks of Gosford, Hawkesbury, and Wyong until 1999. In tandem with my bookmaking operations, I used my price assessments to professionally punt on all Sydneymetropolitan and provincial racemeetings. Since 1999, I have devoted my time exclusively to assessing, analysing, and researching Sydney metropolitan and provincial form.

What is it? How did it come about? How does it complement your wagering?
I started wagering in December 1980. In those early years just doing the form was sufficient. Going to the track with 70 competing bookies you didn't need to be Einstein to win, just being more than capable mathematically was enough.
Along come the 90's and I was trying to improve my bottom line in what was now a more competitive arena. I started to work hard on videos and doing more homework to be able to stay financially viable. With the game continuing to evolve the ring had more pro's and less bookies, it was still a vibrant market place but getting tougher. It was at this time after a particularly bad trot I ventured down to the parade ring more for some air and clarity than anything else. That walk changed my life.
Years of observing and note taking on horses different shapes and behaviour patterns. The way they walk, how they compare from run to run, all the answers were in front of me and I knew I had found the edge I needed to survive.
Of course I still need to do my homework and videos but it is MYM that really influences my final decision. It is my most valuable weapon in a game where you need as much ammunition as you can have to win.
Use it to complement your own work, to help you with the confidence needed to win.
As I say if you don't win you lose, no one draws in racing. WHAT A GAME!
