Postie to deliver for Ranga please.

"The Postman always Rings Twice"  🤣

an old saying Ranga that means the postman is delivering bad news in the old days .

In these modern times perhaps 'Postman Orange' Wins Twice to take you to victory 🏆🍻

Carter the best Junior driver in the country has a very good book of drives on Friday so he will go close!

6 Good drives ok  might take the day driving honours. Sam has 4 drives. giving you 10 . same as Rangatira with Blair Orange I think is in 10 of the 11 races.

Ok, I don’t usually go for these comps but pick an option out for me, ta  👍

Newmarket joining the Cup day with a great old boy in Tim Williams . Alta Meteor sure to go close to Winning the Cup for Tim and Newmarket too .  tim with 9 drives i think

Extra bonus as Newmarket was asking about the youngest Juniors to win group races in earlier thread so , we'll give him Wilson House as well to have a Williams/House team . the young 'House' man.... looks a good chance in the days last race to get a big chunk of it.

There was a first 4 pool today at Winton in mile race won by Tim Williams that went to 157k.he won fav and it paid more than $800 in a field with only 7 legitimate chances of placing.that will inflate the days turnover!

Give us the ‘F’ option Gamma, as # 1, Numero Uno is where Blackie should be in his rightful place.  Fear I’m going to end up 4 or 5 deep on a lot of average horses, exciting stuff. At least we get to lead the field out.

As for fluking  a competition…I’ll give you that one, from The World’s worst punter.

Best of luck Champion , you're right on the pace at the start anyway from the Pole markers.

Forb's has the Number 3 in every race with Team H. Also giving him a great chance of taking the Nelson Cup with FERNETTI later in the day.

That leaves Team 'G' so that goes to G for great Galah .  he'll ride on the No. 2 horse each race. 

 better dig up something for Chief and self so increase the field to 10. 

Chief Stipe could run with Jonny Cox ?? gives him 9 drives but not much chance 😆😂. Gives the Chief 'LIVE ON LEGEND' in the Nelson Cup too ..... and Chiefs a bit of a Legend . 😎🐎

The maiden trotters race 2 , stretched out half way to Australia after the start and Bob Butt does the right thing and Blasts away in front giving nothing else a chance to catch up.

Forb's Blasts away in the lead with the 3-3 race to race double . Chief Stipe somehow getting 8 pts as well as Jonny and Shree run a 2nd/4th combo for him . Gamma gets his Butt into gear 😄 picking up 8 points as well.

Brodie  sees his young Dalgety lad trot into 3rd , so he holds down 2nd place for the minute .

Forb's thinking he's got it shot to bits after 2 but the 'Lucky Money' was gone at the half mile in the 3rd and he stays on 16 points. 

Chief pulling the surprise there with Jonny Cox winning on the No. 2 Mary Lou.. The Galah joins him 'flying in' with that winner too. for 8 points. 

Ranga is in the 'Post' too with 'Stare' Blair looking around everywhere as they turned for home , and run down by the COXman late on accordingly . Ranga was in for 4th place as well with junior Postie Terry so gets 8 points total....  Blackie 2pts for 4th as well. 

Carter Dalgety with another 3rd !! good one for the Brodster , Back up attacking for the lead again 🏆. would of been a fine race driver 😁. giv'en some curry 💰..
