G'day
29, Male, South Yarra.
Got into punting via my old man who took me to the May races at Warrnambool every year. I remember he asked me to pick a winner in one of the steeple races and I picked a horse that was about 8-1. It was absolutlely belting down and my horse wasn't looking to flash, then with about 5 jumps to go all horses ahead of mine fell and he cruised home. Have been hooked ever since.
Now that the old man has started joining some syndicates. I love it even more as it's great having a horse you want to win for the thrill sometimes rather than for the wallet.
One of his is horses is Badger's Wood which is a great chance tomorrow 25/5 at Flemington. Due for a win, good form through the Adelaide Cup winner The A Train and loves the wet.
Happy punting
