Well, the pitfalls of backing apprentices on topweights was reinforced today:Gosford R2 the topweight was ridden by a 3kg boy.
NB. Please no comments if you are a member of that fishing club. This is a racing site!

MR4 1 Lucky Diva, to be ridden by a 3kg claiming apprentice was the subject of constant media "push" and guess what?......it was beaten by No3 Laura's Charm($5.6w$2.0plNSW) which I was on, although I did couple the two in a box exacta.
Need I say any more....if the punting public continues to support topweights ridden by 3kg apprentices(especially when there is a media push for that runner, ie topweight) will end up eating crackers and milk for their evening meal while others are feasting on lobster.

Cheers.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it must have been about the Gold Coast on Magic Millions day!

Yeah Sportz,

It has been a tough day so far but just follow the market/money(NB. I know that I do not have tell you this...no disrespect/offence intended).
BR6 13 Gold Edition was the only "nibble" that I detected early.
Similarly, BR2 Illuminates($3.0w$1.4plNSW) again , I also detected a nibble for this well-fancied runner. I have also secured several other well-priced place-getters paying reasonable place divs.
It can only get better for we punters later in the day.

Cheers.

I said it in post22 and I reiterate it: be very wary about supporting any topweight ridden by a 3kg apprentice:
MR1 1 Lucky Diva missed the start and was never a real hope in the race although it did finish well but I thought it was due mainly to it's own touch of class.

Cheers.
