One thing I am certain of . . . those Thursday markets are a goldmine, especially for favourite backers. The TAB's odds setters seem reluctant to frame a market with the fav at its true price; it's as if they are embarrassed to quote anything at evens or less. Opening Downwind at $2.75, which it stayed at through Friday, was giving money away. And occasionally something like Ladykin, which was picked by two or three of the Friday Flash selectors, gets under their guard . . . probably because of a lack of homework on their part.
 
Hi Gil,
 
There appears to be an overseas trend developing [mainly in the UK, but lately in Aus] whereby prominent bookies are offering generous markets on Thursdays and Fridays for Saturday racing. Maybe the NZTAB is following that trend.
