Although this a common feature of her personality I decided to heed her advice and much to my glee, results so far today have been:
SR1 4 Bianca WON $3.3w$1.7plNSW
SR3 3 Kishkat WON $2.9w$1.7plNSW
PR2 5 Fight And Defend WON $4.7w$2.1plNSW
and there may more to come later...well done by all.....!!

Cheers.


Watch out for Glowlamp Later on in the day aswell! Big fan of this horse.

Toowoomba R1 No.2, Que:
I heard a very respected commentator quote this runner as 'Kew" and I can assure him by way of "The Oxford Dictionary" that the correct spelling is "que" -pronounced: "kay" and "s derived from the Spanish language and highlighted in that immortal series: "Fawlty Towers" by "Manuel."
Hope that clarifies things.

Cheers.

MR8,
What about the media representative "rabbiting on" about the prospects of the short-priced favourite in this race. Any form student disregarded this "advice" and wagered on their own choice because this character hasn't tipped a winner since "Noah was a boy" and those who know their scriptures would be aware that according to the Bible was more than 700years old when he built the Ark.
Lucky this bloke works for a living as he would "starve" on the punt!

Cheers.

Toowoomba:
R1. 1 Que WON $3.0w$2.4plNSW
the commentator continued to pronounce this horse's name as "kew" and I can assure him that the spelling: "queue" is the correct pronunciation and "que" is pronounced "kay" as "Manuel" used to say.
Refer to the Oxford dictionary mate!
The government is trying to improve spelling and public speaking aptitude/standards and this irritating anomaly continues.....!

Who is the panelist who is a non-punter and "brings nothing to the table" as far as his contributions to raceday result analysis is concerned?
He offers nothing to the punter(s) as far as form analysis is concerned and racing/form experts such as Sean Bartholomew and Dominic Beirne could provide a much better service to the betting public(imo).
In the meantime we long-suffering viewers(not for long) will have to tolerate his "putdowns" to other panelists, and I may add, he is the only one who shares in his mirth!
Anyone have any comments?

Cheers.

I reiterate the comments of Alan Thomas who, today, praised Greg Miles for his call of the close finish in the Melbourne Cup.
As I said in a much earlier post I believe he is ready to assume the mantle of the legendary Bill Collins, "The Accurate One."
Good luck to him.

Cheers.

I see the same "lame" panelist is still on a certain racing program.
In the circles in which I mix, people are threatening to "turn-off" if this individual is not "shown the door!"

Here,s a system ( never been proven though )

Put a line through every tipsters selections and bet the rest .

i.e If there were 8 horses not tipped anywhere add 1 and Only bet those at $9.00 Plus.

Cheers.

Fair dinkum.....!
Some of these "so-called egg-sperts" really need to have a good hard look at themselves!
A trained monkey could do better than some of them!
In fact an experiment was conducted and screened on Discovery Channel when a "monkey"(chimpanzee) randomly selected horses by pressing a buzzer for the runners which appealed to it.
Guess what.....it had a better record than more than half of the "turf egg-sperts" who actually are being paid for their so-called skills.
Makes you/me wonder doesn't it?

Cheers.
