Recently I purchased a huge bundle of horse race systems from a fellow Internet horse racing correspondent. The contents of the bundle must have originally been priced at thousands of pounds but I paid just £30 for the collection. Earlier today I was watching a video online where another guy was offering a collection of over 40 systems that he had purchased over the years for just £10. Now this has actually got me wondering.
If you buy a horse racing system then do you have the right to then sell it to someone else? I am not an expert in copyright law but I would have thought not. Yet if you go to Waterstones and buy a book, which is also copyright, there is nothing to stop you selling that book to someone else when you have read it. This is one of those question I do not know the answer too but perhaps someone cleverer and wiser than me out there will. If you do let us know I am just interested. In fact I wonder whether you can actually copyright a horse racing system as such.
Enough of my ramblings, let’s get back to racing, just a couple of weeks to go before Cheltenham . This year there are 4 real short priced horses, Kauto Star,(Gold Cup), Master Minded(Queen Mother), Big Bucks(World Hurdle) and Dunguid (Supreme Novice). All 4 are currently odds on and William Hill are offering an 8/1 accumulator on them all winning. I think it would be a supreme act of faith to take this bet because I feel certain at least one of these will underperform. If I had to stick my neck out I would worry about Dunguids jumping holding up around this tricky course.
In two week’s time all eyes are going to be on Cheltenham, every column inch of the racing press will be full of tips, reviews and comments. Meanwhile over the four days there will be meetings at Sedgefield, Huntingdon,Hexham and Fakenham which will be largely ignored. Perhaps while everyone else is looking elsewhere it might be a chance to spot a few good things at these smaller meetings.
