i'd look alittle silly turning up at Doomben on Friday :)
but atleast i'd get a decent parking spot..
Look for me on Saturday at Doomben ..i'll be the weird looking hippie guy in some kinda of tent reading peoples fortunes..

LMAO I might come over and get my read while your at it then mate

That Steve Hewlet that runs the Doomben Punters club there should see me..
he's a shocker,,,

my first tip for Saturday is to stay away from him..its actually funny to listen to all the mugs give him heaps at the end of the day..

gotta be crazy to run something like that...atleast in cyber land you cant get your head punched in..

Thanks for the advice there mate and just to let you know your not going nuts just saw on AAP that Perlin drew barrier 2 but that is all I can find out.

Thanx. My bad!

I'm not a fan of him when he's on the radio (he sounds like he thinks he knows everything) but I thought he usually did okay with the punters club. It only costs $10 for a ticket and I'm sure that a couple of times recently they've turned that into a fair bit more. Not everyone has loads of money to put on big First 4s and Trifectas, so I reckon it's not bad for just $10 to be in something like that and have a bit of fun and a run for your money for the whole day.

By the way Mav, you seem to have made a mistake on the NRL Tipping Comp thread. If you read this before game time tonight, could you fix it up please?

Thank god for that...thought i was going crazy... :)
thought Bush Honey had 4 though...will have to rethink the speed map..

regards the punters club..
When theres a jackpot for the first four then it might be worth a go...but every time i've been there he's had a shocker....maybe i'm just a bad luck ..

thanks Sportz i'll fix that nrl thing..

I like where Raw has drawn not sure if I like Munce on him though he is a great rider of front running horses but he just doesn't seem to get alot of others home hopefully he can pull out a big one this weekend anyway.
