Betting prepost but with a declared final field means you get your money back if there's a scratching.

But there's an interesting twist to that.

Which is?

Deductions apply.

Now, I've mentioned this caveat before. If a reserve is taken out, but it's in the market, you have something deducted from your bet.

Fair enough?

Well, how about if it's third emergency and they price it at $5.00 or so?

See what I'm getting at? The market is probably around 130 anyway,as against maybe 110 or so in the real betting countdown leading down the start time.

Yet you are hit with the same deduction that you'd cop in a fairer market!

So, it has to be worth your while to have a shot prepost. Like, worth your while.

At present my quiet fancy for the Stradbroke is $13 (best anywhere). But there's an emergency being offered at around $7 to $8.

And the fave is $3 best.

Nasty deduction if a $7 chance is taken out.

Hmmmm....

Let's watch, and then see what we can see with the benefit of this experience...
