Well here goes

My name is actually Peter not Raw Instinct who would have figured that I do think the old bloke would have had trouble typing with his hooves I am 29 years old abd have only really been gambling or really followed horse racing since about 2000, before that I would have the odd bet now and then but usually only on the big days always Melbourne Cups and so forth. My name which I use here is obviously named after the former horse who I grew and affinity with he started racing in Brisbane around the same time I started punting more regularly and he became the 1st horse I really followed and he will probably be my fav horse for along long time now he was never anything flashy but he was a tough little bloke who gave 100% everytime he stepped out on the track.

I work in a Plumbing store we are basically a retail outlet for both Trade and walk in customers I have been there for the last 4 years and it isn't a bad place to be before that I worked in a sports store for 7 years and that pretty takes up all the years since I have left school.

I was born and bred and Rockhmapton and I swear one day I will get out of this place, It isn't bad I guess but like most smallish towns there isn't a great deal to do on the weekends outside of the cinemas or shopping and neither is good for your wallet especially with the girlfriend around

I played Rubgy Union here for 10 years with one club playing A Grade for pretty much all that time from 17-26yo and almost played 200 games for the club however a couple of years ago I decided I had had enough of the game and haven't gone back since some days I regret it but for the most part my body thinks it is a great idea I gave it away.

A couple of mates myself and my girlfriend all want to go to the Melbourne Cup week some stage in the not to distant future we were possibly looking at next year maybe being attainable if I was a better gambler it could have come sooner, My girlfriend and I also want to go to the USA at some stage I have been a huge Chicago Bears fan since I was about 15yo and we would eventually like to go over there for a few weeks and try and catch a game or 2 aswell as make our way around the Chicago area and maybe a couple of other places while we are there.

So far we have been to the Doomben Cup, Stradbroke & Brisbane Cup days last year and the Chipping Norton day this year and have had a ball each of the days we are certainly wanting to expand on that list, I also went and saw my beloved Tigers beat the Dragons whilst in Sydney earlier this year which was a great night also. That pretty much sums me up anyway this should be fun to read anyway good idea Mr Ed
