Don't die wondering
Richard Callander (13/3) criticises Michelle Payne for protesting in the Adelaide Cup. Sorry, Richie, but give me a jock that will have a go all the way.
The interference actually happened — it’s up to the stewards to decide whether it changed the finishing order.
I’m sure she was thinking more of her owners and their investment than those having a punt on the next — for which, in fact, there was still plenty of time.
Later in Richard’s article he says the rank-and-file punter should be protected.
How about mentioning the windfall enjoyed by the TAB when the meeting was called off at Flemington on Super Saturday.
Only one leg of the quaddie was run yet the TAB still got its full whack, as with all its other multi-leg bets.
No wonder people are looking for other ways to enjoy their hard-earned.
Come on, Rich, go to bat for the little guy.
