Well done Chrome, thought of you straight away with the 7 day thingo, sadly didn't do my tri much good, I had Crime Scene and the 4th horse but couldn'd get em' all together in 3, next year maybe?

Well done with Crime Scene, hope you also had it eachway.

Attention CP
 

Hi Chrome,

Sorry to use this open forum to ask a question about your data base, but my pc has crashed (once again), and I am on my macbook here now. Does your data base run on the new Windows 7...? Just in case I need to buy a new system. As you know I could never get it to run on my mac(book).

I love my macbook, never had one ounce of problem/s with it, no virus stuff needed, no nothing needed, but there are certain things you just cant do like you can do on a windows pc. I think part of my problem with my pc tower is living right on the ocean, you do tend to get a lot of moisture causing corrosion inside your tower.

Thanks again, Paul

I can confirm it will run on windows 7 with no problems at all.

Thanks for that Shaun, I'll see what happens to my old Windows XP after another trip to the computer shop. I thought I had it fixed yesterday, ram problem, but it wont boot up again.

Paul

Run windows in virtual mode using VMware or something similar.
There a free versions available.

You are now referring to my Windows PC, which wont boot up at present,..and not my macbook..?

Paul

ah haa, you are referring to my mac, just googling it here now, very interesting,...!, Do you use this..? Paul

Sorry Paul,

Yes, it will run on Windows 7 (thanks Shaun).
I just got in after a day at the Sandown Historic Car Club Classic and got as red as a lobster :(

Anyone who likes the older cars and remembers the Jags, Torana's and Commodores of the 70's and 80's, I highly recommend it.
I even got to talk to the guy who now owns the original bathurst winning Torana that Brock drove, the XU-1.

Off topic, I've got sunstroke, but it was a great day out!

Just been reading this thread here, http://www.propun.com.au/racing_for...ead.php?t=18693 , about how many favs get rolled in group 1's in Melbourne. Could someone run that through the database, ie the strike rate and profit/loss of favs in group 1's in Melb, and also group 1's from across teh country?

Going by the results in that thread, they appear to be a pretty god lay proposition?

Like any races, would imagine betting Fav's hit at low 30% and LOT around 12%....ish.

It's amazing that what appears to be the case, is not always.
