Or more.
Great races, and great spectacles. But punting?
Very, very tricky.
I would advise a punter to seek professional advice on these. The emotions can be overpowering.
For example, apply your basic fundamentals to the Stradbroke and you will find that, after all eliminations, you have at least six horses still in contention.
Betcha.
And as they pass the post you may not get ANY of them into the first four!
It happens.
Of course you may win, but on your own you're probably a sitting duck.
There are easier races.
About 50 on the day, and thousands in the year.
Huge fields?
Leave me out, Arthur.
