Well done Chrome, thought of you straight away with the 7 day thingo, sadly didn't do my tri much good, I had Crime Scene and the 4th horse but couldn'd get em' all together in 3, next year maybe?

[Chrome Prince]

Well done with Crime Scene, hope you also had it eachway.

Hi Chrome,

Sorry to use this open forum to ask a question about your data base, but my pc has crashed (once again), and I am on my macbook here now. Does your data base run on the new Windows 7...? Just in case I need to buy a new system. As you know I could never get it to run on my mac(book).

I love my macbook, never had one ounce of problem/s with it, no virus stuff needed, no nothing needed, but there are certain things you just cant do like you can do on a windows pc. I think part of my problem with my pc tower is living right on the ocean, you do tend to get a lot of moisture causing corrosion inside your tower.

Thanks again, Paul

I can confirm it will run on windows 7 with no problems at all.

[Pauls123]

Thanks for that Shaun, I'll see what happens to my old Windows XP after another trip to the computer shop. I thought I had it fixed yesterday, ram problem, but it wont boot up again.

I love my macbook,Run windows in virtual mode using VMware or something similar.
There a free versions available.

[Pauls123]

You are now referring to my Windows PC, which wont boot up at present,..and not my macbook..?

Paul

[Pauls123]

ah haa, you are referring to my mac, just googling it here now, very interesting,...!, Do you use this..? Paul

[Chrome Prince]

Sorry Paul,

Yes, it will run on Windows 7 (thanks Shaun).
I just got in after a day at the Sandown Historic Car Club Classic and got as red as a lobster :(

Anyone who likes the older cars and remembers the Jags, Torana's and Commodores of the 70's and 80's, I highly recommend it.
I even got to talk to the guy who now owns the original bathurst winning Torana that Brock drove, the XU-1.

Off topic, I've got sunstroke, but it was a great day out!

Just been reading this thread here, http://www.propun.com.au/racing_forums/showthread.php?t=18693 , about how many favs get rolled in group 1's in Melbourne. Could someone run that through the database, ie the strike rate and profit/loss of favs in group 1's in Melb, and also group 1's from across teh country?

Going by the results in that thread, they appear to be a pretty god lay proposition?
