Boy, a tough day for the top picks so far!!! :o

Any Suggestion runs a big race again. What have they done to that horse?

Shouldn't have posted ratings for the Port Adelaide Cup. It was just far too open, but I've been going okay in Adelaide lately and I thought I might be able to nab a value winner. No such luck. :(

Sunday, February 18

A few country cups on. They look a bit tough, especially Goulburn, but hopefully there might be some good value.

Not a good start. :o

Okay, that's it. I've given the Sunday races a try, but these Country Cups are just too damn difficult!!! So in future, unless it's a major feature race, I'll just leave Sundays alone as far as the ratings are concerned.

Wednesday, February 21

The 2 big races at Mornington are extremely tough, especially the cup. Anything could win that! Take care.

Oh dear. What the hell happened in race 7? :o

Another example of a shock result in a race shorter than 1200m. When will I ever learn??? :(

The last race wasn't any better. Not a good night at all.
