Is there a worse feeling
 

..... than listening to a race and then all of a sudden hearing the name of a horse that you've completely forgotten to back.... and it storms home down the outside and wins by 3 lengths at 12-1!!! :(

Phil Purser picked Socialist in R5 at Eagle Farm today and normally I throw a few bucks on his tips, but for some reason, I got sidetracked today and just totally forgot. I didn't think any more about it until about the 300 metre mark when I heard Wayne Wilson say "and here comes Socialist".

what about me Sportz...i've backed that donkey for decades and its only won for me once...and it won today beating a horse i was on (Mosso) into 2nd...if i hadnt taken multis id be a trifle annoyed....but to think what could have been...

i did the same thing today with Divine n Conqueror ...was to busy socialising and forgot the race,,, doh..
