I provide high quality form assessments for Sydney metropolitan and provincial race meetings to bookmakers and professional punters, and have done so since 1988.  From 1999 through to March 2009 I broadcast market forecasts and selections on Radio 2KY for Sydney metropolitan and provincial meetings.

 

I have been following and researching Australian racing form since 1976, with a particular emphasis on Sydney. In 1987, I quit my law studies to pursue a full-time career in the Sydney betting ring, and in 1988, was approached by then leading rails bookmaker, Peter Todd, to provide him with an accurate priceline with which to frame the market, and to make decisions about which horses to lay, to keep, or to back. I began offering these assessments publicly soon after. In 1990, I took out a bookmaker's licence, and fielded on the provincial tracks of Gosford, Hawkesbury, and Wyong until 1999. In tandem with my bookmaking operations, I used my price assessments to professionally punt on all Sydneymetropolitan and provincial racemeetings. Since 1999, I have devoted my time exclusively to assessing, analysing, and researching Sydney metropolitan and provincial form.

 

In 2009, Dallas Baker from Racenet, approached Glenn Pollett (long-standing professional punter) and myself to produce a twice weekly internet show tagged the Punters Show, aiming to provide incisive and insightful analysis of horse wagering.
