Wow, I didn't realise I was dealing with professional punters who overcome the 80% return on the dollar from corporate bookmakers who make millions in profits every year, my apologies.

Many of the punters here like Fonzy aka Chronz have said they occasionally have the odd punt/flutter for fun and a hobby esp now footy season is over..
As long as they not problem gamblers and stealing to bet and or unable to feed their families, they are hurting no one, and it's been fun reading the several successful punts here.

Don't be a sour puss fellow Richmond supporting killjoy Bay comrade in Trig Tug, be a winner and embrace the punt like Tommy Waterhouse !

I theorise OP is a sexist pig.

Racing has perhaps been the most inclusive of females in sport in Australian history. Fashions on the Field and Ladies Day are age old events while the fillies and mares get a 2kg weight allowance from the colts and geldings in order to compete on a level playing field. However they don't always need the 2kg as shown by legends this century like Sunline, Makybe Diva, Black Caviar, Winx, Verry Elleggant and yesterday Via Sistina. Consistently the best horse in the country has been a mare. Meanwhile Jamie Kah is currently one of the best jockeys in the country, while Gai Waterhouse has been one of the best trainers in history and is perhaps the widest known trainer, maybe only behind Bart Cummings. Annabel Neesham is a star trainer on the rise while many race fields are dominated by women jockeys.

Club boards have long had woman sitting on them and while I don't have concrete stats I believe in numbers well above the status quo across other boards. Racedays are an event for girls to do what they do best, dress up, make up, hair, socialise. Across the media you have the likes of Katelyn Mallyon, Francesca Cumani and Emma Freedman who I have never heard questioned once as their knowledge if first class.

Thats a solid case racing is the most inclusive sport of females. There is literally no tokenism whatsoever and every achievement or inclusion is natural and well deserved, not forced like other sports.

For OP to have such a vendetta against this, one must question whether he is a sexist pig.

Kudos but why did you only quote the second part of your post but not the first one where you claimed Via Sistina was cooked?
