The article argues that early doubles and backers face rising stakes and selective owners. It notes favorites like Pilliewinkie and Windbag being withdrawn from the Metropolitan, Victoria's horses skipping Sydney prizes, and broad concerns that increased prize money and risk deter early investors, risking the decline of early betting on major races. It suggests several years ago betting patterns shift as owners choose races, reducing early support and exposing backers to losses.
