And magazine/newspaper publishers should pay tax on their revenue, not profits? The coup that nearly cost the bookies ?10 million Robin Oakley Coup-master supreme: Irish professional gambler Barney Curley, the brains behind the Yellow Sam betting coup [Daily Express/Hulton Archive/Getty Images] Robin Oakley 20 February 2021 9:00 AM * * * * Since coup conspirators nearly won ?10 million from the bookies, the sport has divided into two camps. Some grinned and wished good luck to the schemers in their efforts to worst the Old Enemy; others insisted with sober faces that it was a scandal which besmirched racing and diddled honest punters who weren?t in the know. With most racing eyes firmly fixed on the Dublin Racing Festival on 7 February, bookmakers became aware overnight of potentially huge liabilities on three horses in obscure races, each saddled by a different trainer, who had been linked together at long prices in multiple trebles and doubles. Their panic grew as first Fire Away, trained by Laura Morgan, won the 1.25 Class 4 novice chase at Musselburgh by 19 lengths. Backed originally at 25-1, Fire Away started at even money (1-1). Then, in Southwell?s 2.35, Blowing Dixie, trained by Iain Jardine, won a Class 6 Handicap over 1m 4f. Eighth of nine in his previous appearance, he started odds-on at 4-6, having opened at 9-1. All eyes were then on the third horse, Gallahers Cross, trained by Daragh Bourke. He started at 4-5 in the final race at Musselburgh, a Class 4 handicap hurdle, having opened at 33-1. The bookies were admitting that the plotters had got in under their odds-compilers? radar. To their credit, the likes of Betvictor?s Chris Poole praised the plotters? precision planning and said they would pay up if the third leg was landed. Fortunately for the turf accountant trade, Gallahers Cross finished only fourth and the tear-jerking spectacle of a multitude of bookies queuing for push bikes at Halfords having traded in their Mercs was averted. No mastermind has emerged. The three horses had different owners. The only links established are that Iain Jardine and Daragh Bourke train within 30 miles of each other in the Scottish borders and that Laura Morgan had just bought Fire Away from Bourke. Recent form of all three horses was poor ? hence the long prices ? but Blowing Dixie had won four times at Southwell, Gallahers Cross, once sold for ?260,000, had shown passable form for champion trainer Nicky Henderson back in 2017?18, and he and Fire Away were on low?handicap marks. Although questions now arise about how fully the horses ran on their merits on their previous outings, nobody broke any laws. It was a classic coup and no better compliment could have been paid to its perpetrators than that people began searching for a link to former Newmarket trainer Barney Curley. Curley was the coup-master supreme, his most famous touch coming with Yellow Sam in Ireland in 1975. He had a well?handicapped but improving horse, dropped him in class and waited for ground that suited. Then, at rural Bellewstown, they struck. With Yellow Sam at 20-1, Curley had men primed shortly before the off to place bets at 150 betting shops across Ireland. With no mobile phones then to ensure that bookmakers did not phone through bets to the course to reduce the price, he had a burly associate occupy the only telephone box on the course for half an hour before the race, supposedly talking to a hospital where his aunt was on her deathbed. To the surprise of his amateur jockey, Yellow Sam won and Barney collected more than ?300,000 (more than ?1.5 million today) for the ?15,300 he laid out. It was one of many strokes he pulled over the years and small punters were with him all the way. When even the suspicion of a Curley coup appeared, others piled in to follow the former would-be Jesuit priest who probably had more bookmakers accounts closed than anyone in history. Others have followed on a smaller scale, notably crafty old Albert Davison who never let jockeys into his yard and who, when he had a decent betting prospect ready, used to send his stable lads into the woods saying his cows had escaped so that the animal?s final work could be conducted in secret. To the authorities he was a dodgy figure bad for racing?s image; the betting public largely admired the skill with which Davison could nurse broken-down horses back to health and know when they were fit enough to strike. Some pundits argue the latest attempted coup will damage the sport, saying that it will deter the public from going racing if some people know more about a horse?s chances than the general public. Phooey. Owners, trainers and stable staff know more anyway than the general public. Are punters getting a fair deal that truly reflects a horse?s chances when bookmakers pile money on to the course deliberately to bring down a horse?s starting price? Guessing when a horse is fully primed is part of the game; its raffish outer ring is part of racing?s appeal. My only worry, had the plotters won ?10 million, would have been the chunk lost out of the levy paid by bookies to sustain the sport, since that is calculated on their profits and not, as it should be, on their turnover. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Early 2000s from memory. Think they were going for four winners and the first three lobbed, still winning them millions. He's a very interesting character. He once had a big house/stud in Ireland and instead of selling it normally, decided to raffle it. There were plenty of rucktions along the way but the raffle went ahead and he made money, donating plenty to some charity or other at its conclusion.

Meet Lizzie Jelfs, the people's punting champion that moves markets One of the most influential voices in Sydney racing is the darling of bettors around Australia with her trusty iPhone delivering longshot winners. Ray Thomas 5 min read February 27, 2021 - 9:41AM News Corp Australia Sports Newsroom 0 comments Lizzie Jelfs and her microphone moves betting markets. Picture: Mark Evans/Getty Images When Lizzie Jelfs makes her pre-race selections from birdcages around Sydney racetracks, punters listen. Her opinion can have as much influence on the betting market as the biggest punters. She studies the form, track conditions and other variables but relies more on her expert eye and encyclopaedic knowledge of each horse to find a winner - comparing the equine giants parading in front of her with hundreds of images and videos of horses stored on her phone for reference on their condition, fitness and improvement since she last clocked them. Jelfs, who is an integral part of Sky Thoroughbred Central's Sydney race day coverage, uses all this information to often nominate a longshot as her tip. And too often gets it right to be a fluke. So, how does she do it? Lizzie Jelfs and her keen eye rarely miss a clue in the yard. Picture: Mark Evans/Getty Images "I profile every horse from the first time I lay eyes on them,'' Jelfs said. "I look at their physique, manners, their walk, everything about them so I can learn as much as I can about them from each run. "If I haven't seen a horse before, it can play against me. But because I know most of the Sydney horses so well, I can back myself to say if they have improved.'' Jelfs said there are certain telltale signs she looks for in every horse before making her selections. "Change in behaviour is a big one for me,'' she said. "If you see a horse that is usually quite relaxed and they are worked up before a race, then often they don't run as well as they can. "The physical appearance of a horse is obviously important. A trainer often says their horse is bigger and stronger this preparation. That might not make that horse any faster but it does make them easier to train. "They recover faster from a race and they can have more work put into them so they can be fitter again. "But the most important factor, I think, is a horse's coat. You can see everything in their coat. "They can still run well if they don't have a good coat on them - but I find they are few and far between. If their coat is just a little bit off, they won't be at their very best. "If you have four horses at the same level, if one has their coat that has come through, that horse will invariably run better than the other three.'' LIZZIE'S LOOK AT RANDWICK Chipping Norton Stakes "Kolding is at his peak now while Verry Elleegant and Colette could be a bit vulnerable second-up,'' Jelfs said. "Those two mares always sprint well fresh and Verry Elleegant is bigger and stronger this time around. I'm sure she has taken quite a lot of benefit from her first-up run. "Colette is one of the best wet-trackers I've seen - bar Winx. I thought Verry Elleegant was good in the wet but Colette seems to be on another level. But I'm interested in Kolding. If the track is drying, he is the one to beat. Liverpool City Cup "I'm looking forward to seeing Criaderas, he's a really nice horse.'' Jelfs hails from Oxford in England and although she doesn't come from a racing family, she had a love of horses from a young age and rode at the same pony club as leading Sydney jockey Rachel King. But although Jelfs had ambitions of becoming a jockey, she was unable to follow her dream for an unusual reason - she was too small! "When I started working at the stables of Charlie Egerton at Lambourn, I only weighed 45kg,'' she said. "Charlie trained jumpers and he couldn't give me a go as I just wasn't big enough. "I wanted to be a jockey but Charlie was saying it is not the right life for me.'' It was also difficult for female jockeys to break into English racing at the time - this was the reason King eventually moved to Sydney - so Jelfs decided to go on a working holiday to Australia nearly two decades ago and never left. She joined the stables of Hall of Fame trainer David Hayes, where she rode work at Flemington before eventually taking over his Sydney satellite stable at Randwick. "David was a great teacher,'' Jelfs said. "With his set-up in those days, horses would often come from Adelaide to Melbourne and you would have to learn them by sight. "After 17 years working for David, I think it has 'prepped' me for this job.'' It was Hayes who also saw an opportunity for Jelfs to work in the media and recommended she apply for a presenter's role in Melbourne. Lizzie Jelfs with Husson Lightning at the Gold Coast in 2007. Picture: Peter Wallis Jelfs was on air two weeks later and this led her to eventually joining Sky Racing in Sydney. "I love it,'' Jelfs said. "I can get my racing fix every day. "I love being able to impart my knowledge and maybe soften the broadcast a bit. It is still very focused on punting and I also bring that punting element, but I do try to highlight the athletes in this sport. "The jockeys are amazing, the track riders, and trainers, but for me what has got me into racing is my love of the thoroughbred.'' Sydney's autumn carnival has its unofficial start at Royal Randwick today with the return of Group 1 racing including the $600,000 Chipping Norton Stakes, which means more punters and race fans will be tuning into Channel 528 for the live coverage - and Jelfs's mounting yard selections. She started work on today's Randwick meeting when nominations came out last Monday, then began her serious form study when the final fields and barrier draws were announced on Wednesday. It's her weekly ritual. Jelfs has developed a deserved reputation for regularly finding longshot winners but doesn't let the pressure and expectation to find the shock selection cloud her judgment. "The only pressure I feel is to give the best information possible because I'm very aware that people are betting,'' Jelfs said. "If I am giving people information, I want it to be the right information. Authenticity is important. "I used to get some backlash on Twitter, but I feel I have been accepted more now as people understand I'm trying to give information to them.'' WHAT MAKES LIZZIE SO GOOD Andrew Georgiou - TAB "You only have to look at when she does give her selection as the Pick of the Yard, more often than not that horse will firm straight away. There are punters out there who are listening and waiting for her selections - she is the people's champion.'' Ron Dufficy - Sky Thoroughbred Central form expert "If a horse is resuming from a spell, you would be amazed at the data Lizzie on her phone about that horse. I was asking about Verry Elleegant before she resumed and Lizzie had images of the mare from last year and at trials to point out the physical changes. Lizzie is a horsewoman but she knows her form.'' More Coverage Ray and Duff: Superstar mare 's Verry best to come Australia 's new queen of the racetrack Greg Radley - Sky Thoroughbred Central host "I think what makes Lizzie so good is her delivery. She speaks the language of punters, whether they are experienced or inexperienced. Her grasp of individual horses is quite incredible.'' -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There is one known copy (and it was mine) The New England system concentrated selection around the price, barrier and TAB number Blue Gum number 7 (of 17) keeps its selection criteria amongst the lesser numbers by multiplication You need: (A) the BARRIER number (B the TAB number (C)the PRICE at the five minute pre-race time You are required to (i) multiply the BARRIER number with the TAB number - then record the product where it ends up less than or equal to 25 (5*5) -rank these values (ii) at the 5 minute pre-race time multiply the PRICE with the score recorded in (i) - circle those runners with a product score of less than or equal to 125 Rank these values (ii) ALL runners and their scores are considered - those with the lesser scores become selections. NOTE: There is no recommendation regarding apprentices - all riders are considered Ignore fields in WFA, SW, Maiden SW. The system is meant to be operated on Novice, Encourage, Trial, Graduation, Handicaps, Cups in the metro area and main race handicaps during the week. It is meant for operation on course (the price/time requirement). There are results in the form of winners only, not fields, elimination or inclusion of runners, and why. The staple(s) rusted on mine and so a quite thick booklet ended up as a series of 25/28 loose pages 27/02 Randwick Liverpool City Cup Tab 1, ranked 2, ranked 1 $6.10 3rd Tab 2, ranked 5, ranked 2 $6.20 Unp Tab 3, ranked 3, ranked 4 $11.70 Unp Tab 5, ranked 1, ranked 5 $45.50/6.90 WON Tab 7 and Tab 10 were also considered but Excluded because either there early or late rankings were beyond 5 ========================== Heineken Tab 2 Yonkers ranked 4 and 4 21.60/4.70 WON ========================== R9 Hcp Fail ========================== MR 2 TAB 1 RANKED 1 AND 1 UNP TAB 2 RANKED 3 AND 4 WON TAB 3 RANKED 3 AND 2 UNP TAB 4 RANKED 2 AND 3 2ND =========================== MR 4 FAIL =========================== MR5 TAB 2 RANKED 5 AND 1 WON =========================== Another way, may be. Or is it just the price/market affecting the selections. I think that future posts from me will be scant - it has been an enjoyable couple of years but I might post up a bibliography list later Cheers Tony -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com
