Mystic im a big big fan of going to the track. But unlike a few other forumites here I love a drink while I am there! There is no better day than a winning day at the races with your mates and having your day and night paid for with your winnings. Rosehill is by far my favourite track. You will see me there every meeting in the public betting area, to the right of the main screen yelling out louder and louder as the day wears on. I've met a lot of great people at the track and Rydges afterwards, rugby league players are always at Rosehill, especially the Parramatta players like Nathan Cayless and Michael Vella, they love it. Best time I had out there was a few months back when I saw the Daily Telegraph tipser Ray Thomas all dressed up looking very schmick, but not too happy (must have been having a rough day). I think it was Race 5 by this stage and I was a little tipsy so I started giving him a bit of stick that none of his tips had come in yet. I then asked him do you want a free tip in the next at Sydney, to which he very abruptly replied NO. Well my tip was Laguna Lake which somehow won paying $30 odd dollars. After the race when no one was cheering I went back up to Ray Thomas with my winning ticket and said "Don't quit your day job big fella". You can only have this much fun at the track!
