Was certainly a far better end of the carnival for me than the last couple of weeks have been, Got a couple of nice winners in Defecting Playboy, Smart and Mighty and Art Success who I had promoted to my top bet by the time the race had rolled around just thought he had to win to be honest. The Brisbane Cup has been a real good race to me I have only really been punting for about 5 years now (I bet before then just not all year long usually if I wasn't working or playing football) in 2002 I backed both Prized Gem and Nauders in the cup both were great results, 2003 I backed Piachay and County Tyrone got the quinella and the trifecta, 2004 I backed one horse and really had a good go at him that was Danestorm thought he was nearly a sure thing, 2005 I backed Portland Singa only and also had a double go over from St. Basil to her had a great one there and this year I backed 2 horses Art Success and Pentathon well one won the other run 4th.

Maybe I should leave my betting to one day a year it would be far more profitable sure looks like it should be my fav day of the year anyway.

Well done to Mav and Sven you guys are always going well with your tips mine usually go better if I just keep them to myself I hate giving tips to anyone as I feel guilty if the damn nag does nothing. Best time of the year IMO Stradbroke day only has one peer as far as a punting standpoint and that is VRC Derby Day that is the top day for the year IMO.
