Hi Guys...a funny sort of day ....had to work which sukd but managed to see the 1st and 4th race....thought this morning it would be raining allday..been funny weather we've been having with some parts of Brissie getting hardly any rain at all..
will check the video tomorrow and see if there were any runs that should be noted..
Race 1.
2.80 about General Patton...not a bad start to the day......always looked the winner ..easy race with no surprises..
Race 2.
Scratched...
RAce 3.
Greccolo was alot better odds than i thought...happy to jump on and he was very brave......loss for me
Race 4.
BAcked Plachutta e/w ..did ok but the winner was very impressive..
another loss for me...
Race 5.
Good race to watch...misssed the bandwagon here with a few friends of mine cleaning up with Natural Destiny...,.i just needed to see the horse in the flesh to be confident enough...if i was at the track maybe ?? but hindsights a wonderful thing.
Race 6.
Stuck with La Sizeranne ...the track was ok i thought,,and racing fair...was happy with the $6...nice trifecta and a nice piece of the 1st4 was handy....
RAce 7.
Classic Karla was just flying at the end...would have been nice if he got a place..he owes me a bit now...
Race 8.
Backed Deuxieme...havent seen the race but it was typical Spirit of Tara would win after i'd been on him lately...0 for 5 in the wet and he wins this..deserves a win i suppose but it would have been nice if he did this last week,,,,(now i know how Raw felt with Cocolare last week),,,
All in all 2 from 6 ...happy with that

Other states.
Sydney
Thunderbirdrgo...loss
Macs Tune ..woohooo a nice win ...would have been nicer if i hadnt split the stake with Silkn Money but it was still a very healthy result...the tri was fantastic ..problem is with a split stake 1st4 i didnt have enough room for the 15 that got 4th...if i had gone souly on Macs Tune that 15 would have snuck into 4th....oh well.
Eastwestdancer..loss
still a very nice result in Sydney
Melbourne
Losses with General Conclusion and Marwina LAss
Toowoomba
Noble Gent ..loss
Benalla
Mathews Pick 3rd ..loss
Sparkling Now...woohooo good to see the nows win a race...
(Also backed Next Now alittle later..only a slab though at nice odds)
Belmont
Keyton Grace...to short..

14 races for me today with 4 winners..,,,more than i thought i'd be having a go at but i started nicely and that always gives me alittle confidence..
managed to jag some real nice divies ... and on a hard day i think you need these to help keep your head above water..

Well done Raw we seemed to pick a few even on a hard day...cant wait to see the videos and see how handy this Natural Destiny is..

ps..heard a whisper about Carlyle Arch in the next at Toowoomba....at the 6's not bad value..
