Can anyone explain to me why some jockeys (and some stalls handlers) have a bobble on their helmet?

Doomben - R7 1350m Grp 3
Looked like someone laid the fav. for a chunk in the final second of the pre-race market based on the start

If you're on course or even listening to radio you'll get a head start on the suspension so it happens quite often

Seems very frequent compared to UK, the data source must be slower (way more than 400ms).

I've heard tales of Monkeys in the trees at Kempton doing the same thing once upon a time but haven't seen anything that obvious for a while.

If you're on track too (doesn't cost unlike here) you're 3 seconds in front of everyone still

You mean no boxes in AUS? Just rock up to the course and wait by the finish line? :D
