didn't want that. is a bit much after Brisbane Lions and Brisbane Bronco's losing so narrowly in Grand Finals this year. Had AKUTA going for a sizable result. Swayzee = 0💰.

anyway shouldn't grizzle about bets I spose ... just keep getting pipped . ( and before you ask NO.. I didn't back the AllBlacks so can't be blamed for that narrow loss 😂)

The opening odds on Swayzee were insane kept going at it every week until it dropped to $5

I'd be lying if I said it was anything but plumb,dumb,luck.

Still so long as I gave the Chief his daily beating...all's...well.😀

Cheers Gamma.👍

Gamma, thanks for your efforts once again with competitions.

Just a reminder for Brodie why he won’t normally punt on Cup Day.

Well Done to Holy for getting the big one in the first.
Give me Ashburton Thursday any day lol!

At 5 wins and 6 places I think I had you well covered.  I didn't look at the fields until very late and had about 5 mins to pick and enter.

Thanks @Gammalite  for doing the work - I don't think there is a more positive and knowledgeable harness enthusiast in Australasia than you!

Well the irony is that the outsider you backed in the first was priced at good value.  I looked at its form afterwards and its Addington form held up amongst that lot.

As @Brodie said I took a Whale approach but it's a losing punter who has a bet on every race Cup Day.

No sign of Ranga ? seems to be on holiday at the mo. nice time of year for it. 

We'll give him some Italian runners as he might fancy being a bit of an Italian Stallion if he could.😁

and some other foreign names couple of Frenchies and that .

Best of Luck Rangatira !!  mumma mia . here's  some Bellissimo ones giovanotto ..

Cheers Gamma

I loaded up the Anglo Sprite with Lion Red and I headed off to Omarama to reminisce about the last Cup winner I backed

Feeling like my old stablemate Life of Luxury although I am more Maori Layabout than Italian Stallion

 

PS  Rangatira, Mamma Mia and Giovanetto 27 wins between them including a 2nd and 3rd in the Cup
