Gday All,
I am never keen on Maidens, mainly for the reason that there is way too much guess work in them. The early 2yo races are a 4 legged lottery as well. I like to be able to have information that I trust in front of me when i am looking at races and I find in Maidens (and by this I mean races with lots of 1st starters) that I end up guessing. You know, like is waterhouses's 2yo unraced colt better than Hawkes'unraced colt.. not to mention Mckevoy. how the hell anybody can pick a winner of a race in SA where he has 1st starters is beyond me :smile:

Personally I seem to make more money betting Country meetings.. I dunno why it just seems to work out that way. Lots of people look down their noses at that sort of Racing but I gotta say that the $19.80 I got on Honeyed, that I rated as a $4.40 chance, at Hamilton on Monday, gave me as much pleasure as the $15 odd i got on Fields of Omagh in the Cox Plate or the $15 for Kablammo yesterday. My old dad always taught me a winner is a winner no matter where ya jag one. The other thing I love is being able to get to the Port Macquarie or Taree tracks... there is nothing like it :smile:
