Negative, walked from the farm down to Swanson shops and rang the TAB. Have had a phone account from 1979 ... the phone account was great, but having teletext on my TV was really the magic ....

I wish ROSTRO had got third ..... Following all the video back checking, the horse to be on this week is LATROBE.

oh my gawd, MYTOP SWEETIE, was a big winner for me back in the early 8os, $ 1 treble, five horses in the first leg including REGGAE (Lordship, first starter) anchored BASIL DEAN in the trot and anchored MYTOP SWEETIE in the last, I was a big O'Reilly fan at the time, paid more than $ 2,000 I think, fudgng hell, did we get wasted that weekend ...

Good day, got the quinella, and 20 win on CC, should have had a shot at the Tri, with the Prince ... ! but lost 30 place on BEST SOLUTION, (had to throw a biscuit on my C Cup winner .. ) Also think Best Solution was one of the runs of the day, when you see how much he lost at the start !!!

back on now

Yep, still down trying to get a place bet on, TRADESMAN

Totally confused now, with all the withdrawals and differing track conditions, but .... here goes CROSS COUNTER to win, with AVILIUS and MAGIC CIRCLE flying home late ... Can't believe RED CARDS money, 100-1 all week and today only 30-1, with the crook in the saddle ...

It is not that wet ...

..

Rain ? ? ? ... ? Now that really fudges things ... ?

Actually it didn't start like that at all, but no worries, ds In regards to the Melbourne Cup thread, lots of people have read it, they are merely my thoughts on THE BIGGEST HORSE RACE in the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE ... I doubt you have any useful input.

why is this in galloping chat ?

Obviously not ARRAN in the Derby, he was in the Chester Cup. ?

Another nice return foiled by a poor friday track work-out, TOSEN B is scratched by Mr Weir ... I am getting scuppered by all these late withdrawals ...... If I up the bet on RED CARDINAL, guaranteed he will be pulled too ..... Checked out YUCATAN's Herbert Power run, not bad And MAGIC CIRCLES run in the Chester Cup (G2) was enormous !!! And the Irish Derby at Curragh was interesting, what a course, up and down hills, and a very close finish between LATROBE, ROSTRO and PRINCE of ARRAN ... So this Cup is getting weirder by the day ... gonna stick a couple on ACE HIGH, to see what happens ...

What a difference in two weeks, I was humming after the Caulfield Cup, but now most of my top likes have been gutted. The Lexus is going to be a rippa tomorrow, but the race is not like the old Mackinnon, where the horses storming home, were always good for the next Tuesday. The latest list of acceptances, has the Caulfield winner (still a Grp 1 winner ... ) at 15s, great money to follow up on I now realise why all that money was on Ace High in the Caulfield, because he won last years Vic Derby, but now instead of $10 (CCup) he is at 70s ! They still have at least one Japanese horse in and a few early punted horses have drifted to $15 - 20 ... so there is plenty of money if you follow your early tip. Red Card ($100) stills owes me from last year and now trained by Weir, but I realised that all the wins overseas (last year) seem to have been on right hand tracks and his only decent run this season was in SYDNEY. So a couple of bucks will be all he gets, 1 for my money back and 1 because of the trainer .. And still a few overseas horses that have not started yet, not really a good thing, yet the money is good. That leaves a couple of early punts, Yucatan and Magic Circle, neither of which I particularly like, but the money is ON, so we will see if I can get a ear on these two ...

i don't wanna sound bad, but if THEY didn't make a KILLING at Avondale, then Turnip blew it ..... Sorry, but gifts like that are made to cover ALL the blues, like Anderton and shittock ....

Well I have looked over the Cox Plate, but I see no money to be made ... HUMIDOR was going to the place bet, but at 2.20 you have got to be kidingggggggggggggggggg ....................... So its on to the Melbourne Cup .......... Being reviewing the tapes and it looks great for my long shot bets and great money all over the place ... So hang tight and lets see if we can make a quid after the plate .......................

Will Winx complete the treble ? Is the small field an advantage for the wonder horse ?

Tidy day, made 3,500 ... 100 on the B, got the quaddie and trifecta ... Makes the M Cup look good for my long cast bets as well, but we will see ... ? hmmm probably one of my best Caulfield Cup days !!!! punting wise ..... Gator (GET ON racing show) picked well today and if you got time you should check out their comedy Mouward Award ? for a great take on the b/s that is Chinese racing ...

Aye, he blew two early in the day, Eawase and Quillista, so never looked at him again ..

I put 10 on ACE, cause i was feeling the jitters .... But the craziest thing was I took the Japs in a quinella yesterday, fairly sure it was all mine, woke up this morning and someone had $ 40 worth, by lunch it was $ 100 and by mid arvo -to race its was $ 500 !!!!!!! worth, one horse was paying 26 and the other was paying 50s, but the q was paying only $180 !!!!!!!!!!

sometimes you wish you had more .................................. money to bet with ..

Dirty Damian to do the deal, ACE HIGH, opened at 10s, NO ONE has mentioned it all week and is still at 10-12s , has not moved ALL day. ? Muchly suspectus ............ ?

Going Japanese as well, but BEST SOLUTION appears to be the quality bet ...
