I think he will go on to very good things Mav.
I've had him in my black book for awhile and was quiet surprised by Purcer's opinion. I'm sure old Bart would be having a bit of a chuckle about Purcer's comments [if he read them] about his Prince Arthur.

I do admire Purcer's courage to put up his views before the day. It's easy for punter's to kick sand in his face afterward [I wonder how they went?], but none of us in the comp. did any good with our 'winning' selections [I nailed belmonte for a small win, but lost on the day] as only feather and breadman come out in front yesterday. Anyone who read Purcer's article would also have notice he said 'to be very suspicious of anything with a short price and to look wide'. He was certainly spot on there.

I've enjoyed some very profitable tips from Purcer on many Saturdays at juicy odds when he has had it right [quite often]. Everyone has their off days and very few have the courage to put their convictions as up front as he does. We are all ************p.e.r.t. [that word now won't print in this forum because it's connected to you know who] after the event and no one was disagreeing with him until then:-)
