In case anyone wants to know I am going to have one more bet in Honkers I am going with Greenessy can't guarentee anything but has some solid form putting what I won on Clean Sweep over to him I'll be happy either way but if it gets up I will be ecstatic.

Ohwell not quite still a good day should have just stayed with Muncey it the last.

as a matter of interest on weight adjustment.

down 5.5 kgs. last start winner. glad i didnt hear them say he was a duffer in the wet.

i recall saying in the past that knowing too much is worse than knowing too little as it causes a bias in our minds.
on the face of it show biz kid with $452k in prizemoney has been a maginificent horse.
i like the previous posters who say that what the heck i am going to back him from now on.
what the heck we are wrong most of the time anyway.
but. a fine horse and a well deserved win.

I have just heard something interesting from the old man who must have listened to the post race interview and he said that since the last run that Show Biz Kid had on a rain effected track he has been gelded, I turned around and asked him what difference does it make he said to me well think about it if you have crap spraying up between your legs sticking in not the most comfortable of places then you would probably find it isn't all that comfortable racing in the wet.

Interesting thought anyway probably doesn't stand true for alot of horses but maybe it is a case here.

thanks for that,
yeah it is a great track, and the weather wasnt a worry coz there is so much cover. just a shame i couldnt get a winner in the cup. got the tri in the 5th race though :P
