You pleased about that Aussie winning Gamma? 🙄

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

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
