Punters should hold their horses in wide-open Met

With Charles Dickens out of the equation, the WSB Met, scheduled for January 28, could end up being one of the best races of the season from a betting perspective. The sponsors of the grade 1 race, World Sports Betting, have Jet Dark (7-2) and Kommetdieding (4-1) at the top of the market. This column's advice - don't touch these prices, for the…

The ‘People’s Horse’ is now more a bookies friend

It's a question Kommetdieding fans never dreamt would be asked. Is the "People's Horse" going to end his career as the "Bookies Horse?" Make no mistake - punters lost thousands of rand on the 2020 Durban July winner when he was beaten in last Saturday's Green Point Stakes at Kenilworth. After the withdrawal of Jet Dark, Kommetdieding was generally…

The ante-post betting market for this year's Durban July is risk-averse, as they say in the financial pages. Jittery might be a better word, or perhaps poep -scared. Only one horse is quoted in single figures on the bookmakers' boards and remarkable value is for the taking among the 50-plus entries still in the race. The current favourite, at 8-1,…
