What, you can only bet the first 5 races Avenger ? You are being ripped off. One of the 'smart' rules I forgot [no, I don't always follow the 'smart' rules but I love quoting them] was: 'generally speaking the first half of the card at most meetings are no bet races' and are designed to get the 'mug punter' money early !!

Our Scotch [and most other spirits] comes in 750mm bottles [ about a pint ] and cost $25 for rot-gut. To get a better idea of our prices a 750mm bottle of Jack Daniels cost $38 and it is watered down. So chuck over a drip-feed hose for us poor taxed to death codgers will you ?

Won on races 3,6,7,8 straight win bets at Flemington on Saturday from 6 bets/6 races. My favorite track !!

The Villiers Stakes at Ranwick on Saturday was a good example of why 'Stakes' races are poor value. The winner paid $28 and the Tri. [picking the first three] paid close to 5 grand. We all can't wait for the Stakes filled spring races here, exciting sure, but I would love to see any punters accounting book that shows a yearly profit on stakes races.

Cheers.
