BACKGROUND INFORMATION

I am bemused by the way STC conducts its business regarding the issue of the a local leading local Trainer for season 2011 being caught in the jockey room at STC premises at Kranji for alleged bookmaking activities. This is in direct contrast to the way HKGJC conducted its prosecution of Chris Munce for illegal activities in his conduct with Owners for accepting bribes and gratuities in reference to providing horse racing tips.

In my opinion it sets a dangerous precedent and what happens if these offenders commit further crimes or fraud , deception or conspiracy when dealing with unsuspecting members of the public not in the loop with the insider news like myself? What if these Trainers or jockeys collect monies from the public to buy new horses when they are already under suspension or banned by STC but this information is not disseminated to the general public? it opens a pandora.s box for suits and countersuits admidst allegations of fraud if this becomes a reality and monies are lost! What then? i believe it is better to call a spade a spade then to whitewash every scandal and sweep everything under the carpet just to keep STC's pristine and squeaky clean image. Of course I truly believe a person should not be tagged guilty until he is founf guilty of that particular crime. Terms like "alleged" or "suspect " can be used until a person is proven guilty!. We have had people who left for legitimate reasons so these people should be tarnished with the same brush but to camoflauge these illegal activities with whitewash like ...he went back because his family member is sick or he went back to Australia for greener pastures. The irony is that after serving their ban discretely in Australia we even applaud them when they make a comeback as if we are endorsing and applauding their illegal behaviour! which I find outrageous and farcical to the point of being ludicrous ! Our local boys like Sivan are slapped with a lengthy ban and announced publicly...this serves as an example of how errant behaviour is punished and shamed in the process as a deterrent and warning that such indiscretions will be dealt with and duly punished. Do we have a different policy for Trainers compared to jockeys or is STC discriminating between expats and local boys with different treatment ) STC should take the cue from HKGJC ( with the Chris Munce, Trainer Patrick Biancone doping case and the recent jockey Eric Saint Martin /Trainer Leung case) and The British Racing authorities with the example of Goldophin Trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni ( banned for 8 years) for the doping of horses using banned substances. How can we aspire to be a World Class Racing Centre when we do not follow world class standard practices in dealing with recalcitrants amd instead such indiscretions ( to put it mildly) are kept hush hush with details (including identity and crime ) kept from the unsuspecting racing public. Such silence on such episodes does not make Singapore a cleaner Racing Centre. I implore STC Top Management to review their existing policies on such deviant practices instead of the current polite policy of treating them with kid's gloves and a happy glorified sending off when deported. Public profiling of such cases will serve as a strong deterrent against future malpractices!

In the full card challenge Racing Guide is presumably in the lead with a 104 wins ( 31.9% strike rate from 326 selections with their 7 win score form Sunday' s races) from 2nd place Xiu Fang on 100 wins (30.67% strike rate). Ma Hui is in 3rd on 97 wins (29.75% strike rate) , Mr X is in 4th on 93 wins (28.53% strike rate) and Andrew Frost is in 5th with 92 wins (28.22%)

In the BIG RACE CHALLENGE Ma Chao and BMW are in the joint lead with 12 wins from 32 selections for a 37.5% strike rate . Craig Evans is in 3rd with 10 wins from 29 selections for a 34.48% strike rate and Starstatz Racing ( my Flagship blog)is in 4th with 11 wins(34.38% strike rate) from 32 selections . Singapore Nap is in joint 5th with Mr X and Zheng Qiang with 9 wins from 32 selections for a 28.13% strike rate.



I am particularly proud that Singapore Nap (replication posting) and Starstatz Racing scored on the direct forecast in the exact order and the tierce quartet with the remaining 5 selections for a minimum outlay of $20 for the tierce and $40 for the quartet if you had used one banker on the 1st line and one key horse on the 2nd line and weven if you had used 2 key horses on the 2nd line you would have been rewarded handsomely with $14 fr a win and $105 for the tierce and $552 for the quartet! for a decent and respectable profit!



PREVIEW OF RACE

i DO NOT AGREE WITH THE PUNTERS WAY WRITE UP THAT BETTER LIFE AND FLAX HAVE EQUAL CHANCES. BETTER LIFE IS BY NO MEANS A SHOO-IN BUT HER CREDENTIALS AND CHANCES ARE CERTAINLY MUCH BETTER THAN FLAX.

Better Life's Sire;s claim to fame was in winning 2 legs of the (Smarty Jones) Triple Crown winning The Preakness Stakes , The Kentucky Derby and only narrowly missing out on The Belmont Stakes at 2400M while Flax's sire Silvano won the Singapore Airlines Cup and moreover Better Life has a better win strike rate and has a good 2nd up record winning once and placed twice from 4 1st up starts . he expected fast pace with 4 front runing types in in 9-1-3-2 will also favour the Japanese backed mare Better Life. Curiously if Flax gets his slow pace forte he might upset the pretty Lady with a superior 0.8 points HR rating but I truly believe that Brian Miller and myself are on the right track having being influenced by the same Mentor , Benny Ortega who guided us quietly behind the scenes discretely when he made a case for Better Life in winning the Singapore Gold Cup. Overlook her last start defeat at the unsuitable distance of 1600M as 2000M is closer to her forte distance.

Play a big bet on win only on Better Life and and my selections in order are 11-1-4-3-5-2-7. Use 11 as the sole banker and 1-4 as key horses on the 2nd line and use 1-4-3-5-2-7 on the 3rd and 4th lines and use 11 box 1-4 for the forecast and place forecast in a big bet with good confidence for profits
