On TvN Dr Turf ( John Rothfield ) made an interesting comment about midweek country meetings in Victoria. He suggested at some of the lesser meetings , where only two or three bookies turn up, that their opening markets might be "set up" so that the bookies themselves and/ or their associates can "get on" with the corporates. I have often noted thar IAS is the last of the corporates to bet on those obscure meetings..maybe IAS is a "little shy" in betting  those early prices because they have been caught out ."Pitching" is obviously alive and well today as it was in the old SP days of the last century.
Dr Turf speaks a bit of sense whereas Jason Richardson, a co-host on TvN, is clueless  ( see my previous posts on JR ).

I saw an article recently that described bookie Vince Aspinall as the principal  price originator for racing bookies Australia wide.  If that's true, he's a powerful man in the game.



a big % of them get his prices,most use them as a guide

Let's be honest.  If you were smart, you wouldn't be here.

I'd be living at Port Douglas in the Penthouse Suite if I really knew anything about the GG's lol
