I've never wanted to dive under the table so much. At a meeting a bloke came around selling tickets for punter's club. My old mum told him she wouldn't buy one as the guy that picked was a absolute useless mug. I was trying to shut her up as I knew the bloke selling them and bloke doing the tipping were one in the same. To compound my shame she told him her son could pick better blindfolded. He never said a word but Oh Jesus ! Somehow a few years on they became great friends . I thought he had forgotten all about it until he brought it up about 10 years later. Fortunately he saw the funny side.

Oh hell, rang my mum up 10 minutes before the race and told her Santa Monica would go real good and be in first 3. Ended up not backing it and neither did she. Was $ 101 win at F /Odds. Hard lessen to take, follow gut instinct.

Heard that they aren't planning on going anywhere in a hurry. Sure you can remove the dates but grabbing the course......Could be some drawn out legal battles ahead, when Winston intends to approach the changes with the speed of a bullet train ,he might be slowed to the speed of a Puffin' Billy.

Have no idea about wealth, but can think of one that is certainly not mentally challenged, Mike Brown would be one of the smartest blokes you could meet on a race track or off. Sure he selected and won a $ 800,000 pick 6 for small syndicate of friends one day at Ellerslie.

Being a jockey manager isn't a licence to print money, the ones that have no other residual income probably need to have a punt to get by. If you took it at say $ 10 of every riding fee charged to your jockey, plus say % 5 of whatever stake money they earn, you'd need a few big stake wins to better the average wage. Personally, sitting watching hours of race videos every day would end up sending you nuts, throw in aggro from some trainers plenty of easier ways to make a living.
