THE MIGHTY DIVA
 

Didn't back the Diva today Never bet in the Cup At least haven't for about the last 10 years Find other fish to fry Works for me Do love the social stuff though ;)


Anyway joy to behold today History being made I'm still on a high and as I said I didn't even back the Diva!!

...and just as I'm writing this post up pops robbos roughies..would you believe first time I've backed them...great work robbo (and the diva!)

Stop It Robbo!
 

Cut it out robbo! enough is enough !! I normally lay your tips!!! :)

Go the Diva!
 

Ditto!! except for the 10 yrs bit & backing robbos roughies (no offence robbo :) )

MISS ANDRETTI you little beauty!
 

Go The Fighting Tigress !! :D

A living legend!
 

Well, almost forgot the other reason for popping on the thread.
Congrats to the connections of the Diva and of course the Diva herself - now a living legend!

Might be now time for a life of luxury and maybe a bit of baby making if not already planned? ;)

Avenida Madero
 

A top run by Avenida Madero as well !!

MISS ANDRETTI you little beauty!
 

And just in case you missed my earlier post :)


Go The Fighting Tigress !! :D

More like a huge run Avenida Madero!!
But the same can be said for Miss Andretti who did it tough and just simply outsprinted them!

Frank The Bank
 

just a little dabble in the next at Ascot..not sure how he will go first-up?

Frank The Bank
 

not a clever way to ride a horse having his first official race start in over 2 years :( no wonder he collapse the last bit :rolleyes:

ah well! live and learn ;)

Stone Man
 

..in the last today, wonder how he'll go? soon find out!

Stone Man
 

WELL....he does give you some hope for a while...now all we need to do is arrange for that finishing post to be pushed closer (I'd say about 75m!) to the final turn DURING THE RACE! so the others don't catch on ;)

Geraldton Fishermen's Co-Op Sprint
 

Well he did the job! :) although started a bit shorter than I expected.

Well Shaun seems you did the trick, no sign of Robbo since, which is a bit of a shame really :( from what I can see he was going well today :eek: come back robbo! it's all in good humour ;)

SIX PACK
 

Well that's the six pack for BLESSED SUE :) and you were awfully close with your 3 selections Davi. Nice effort!

The Gray Bear
 

Well didn't quite live up to expectations today although did still run 2nd. The winner Master Minx was way too classy for the bear today.

Those in bold looked to be the best runs in the race imo

Mapperholic and Hardrada obviously not too forward at this stage.

the passing of time
 

Time marches on!
Just look at the last four places in the Winterbottom and you'll see the top 3 placegetters from the 2003 Railway Stakes (which were in order) Hardrada, Early Express and Mapperholic.

We can only hope they'll improve with more racing and distance.

grey matter wrap-up
 

Good strike rate for the greys at Geraldton yesterday with Halo Song (1st) and Coined (3rd) with Grey Feather (scr).
