Starting Price odds total = 138.26%

With no major betting ring plunges there is no excuse for that being served up. What the bookies were doing was:

1. Putting up what the racing media calls "value odds" - around $10.00.
2. Relying upon punters' lack of knowledge about market percentages to take the odds on offer.

Take a throw of a dice. I won't give you 5/1 ($6.00) about any individual number from one to six coming. I won't take a slight edge and give you $5.80. I'll give you 13/4 ($4.20). That's effectively the market that was served up to punters in the main race at Doomben, the Group 3 Summer Stakes.

If that's the best you can do Brisbane bookmakers then what's the point of making a market?

Way under the odds

Talking about the Group 3 Summer Stakes at Doomben, how could punters possibly take $2.80 about Clay Shaker winning it? Did punters seriously believe the horse had a 36% winning chance?

The same goes for Zariz. First up over the 1200 metres, top weight of 57kg. and barrier 10. Punters apparently thought $4.00 was value. Zariz did not have a 25% winning chance.

In a big field like that, over the 1200 metres at Doomben, you can expect many hard luck stories. That has to be taken into account when looking at the prices you are prepared to accept. Zariz had no luck in the race - along with at least half a dozen other runners!
