@The_PrenderCast Based on Tonight and many examples over recent years whenever a game means something they fail because they are mentally weak and deep down know they aren’t any good.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

@PeterLawrence18 No ! There needs to be a discussion about Apprentices being coached , far too many mistakes being made because they lack race sense but don’t worry RV sacked 50% of the coaches couldn’t make it up.

This nominate in the ruck is a waste of time for everyone simple fix is pay a free if any third man up and if any blocking.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

@legendarihhhh @XanderMcGuire7 @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne No , the same thing happened on the @AFL app too the time was definitely added back on.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

With the lack of quality jockeys at Rosehill you simply can’t bet there turnover will take a big hit.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

@rhettrospective Mick and Andy Preston were both huge outs cost us the win.

@MickWallaceMail @SEN_track @bet365_aus @SENGiddyUp @ghall27 @HawkesRacing So what ? You do realise she was 3 wins from around 60 rides before that so why would any jockey riding at that meeting care what she did !
She found a fast lane and kept going there good on her.

@MickWallaceMail @SEN_track @bet365_aus @SENGiddyUp @ghall27 @HawkesRacing We are all punters Mick I have no probs with jocks making judgment calls good on Jett it was outstanding initiative BUT in extreme instances like Saturday and in an age where punters crave every possible piece of information available I think that COT should be made public.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

@MickWallaceMail @SEN_track @bet365_aus @SENGiddyUp @ghall27 @HawkesRacing I think they do that way punters can make up their own mind whether to back it or not.Can you imagine the uproar if the jock on the 6/4 fav did that and their was no notification and was beaten out of sight!?

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

@James_Jordan @A3N0D2O Just another example of why Meech is the best front running jock in Vic. As for the rest of them it was embarrassing not one of them did anything until the race was over.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

One could say that was a well over due win for Milos Filos

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

@foxcatcherintel @Nic_Ashman The VOD are very punter friendly and every State should incorporate the same.
The example you showed at Pakenham on 16/4 was a result of the bookie not using RV’s deductions as displayed on the RV website.
Deductions were - Braemar Hill 31 c and Holding Captive 40c.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

@PeterLawrence18 @dunfff This problem doesn’t happen in Vic anymore as Marc and I explained with the VOD.The other States yes it does happen and that is why it is a no brainer every State should put in place what Vic have done to protect the punter.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

@PeterLawrence18 @dunfff Peter in Vic once the official scratchings are finalised around 7.45 the Stewards will then decide what the actual deductions will be for each horse and email every bookie , it doesn’t matter what deds bookies had in previously the real deds are adjusted once the email is sent.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

I haven’t seen better things beaten than Swiftie Harriet and Gorgeous for a long long time.Both were ridden too well, careful what you wish for.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

Swans will still be a huge risk in the Finals cannot trust Curnow or Armatey at all.#aflswanspies

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

Good as a win for Collingwood with their low % #AFLPieshawks

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

@RacingtotheMAX Well written Max one of the very few in Sydney racing that isn’t compromised or a coward.

[Mark Charleston @mark_charleston]

Went as a neutral have to be impressed with the Dees bloody tough team , fit , nonsense defence , genuine stars , exciting to watch and Jack Steele might be the get of the season
