Derek McGovern Sick Of Horse Racing Trainers Lack Of Respect For Punters

Derek McGovern is fuming at the way punters are disrespected by racehorse trainers when it comes to ante post betting. Racehorse trainers don't really give a shit about the punter. It's the same the industry over. Without the punter, there is no racing. Bookmakers, racehorse trainers and the like forget that all too often.

McGovern is bang on the money.

♠ Holy Roman Emperor was pulled from the Newmarket 2000 Guineas ante post betting market before the horse ever ran, to replace George Washington at stud, because the horse was firing blanks.

♠ Teofilio's Injury only came to light via the Betfair trading exchange price shift out to 10/1, followed by denial, then admittance 24 hours later the horse had indeed suffered a setback, after numerous calls flooded in from interested newsrooms and racing journalists. Teofilio is still favourite for the Epsom Derby and the Newmarket 2000 Gunieas.
