Thanks again, Sportz. Another rendez vous with the cap catchers (as Bertie Bryant called tail enders like me). Maybe I need to take on a Melbourne winter although I believe they've changed a bit since my heyday. Aaah that I wish it was the 1970s again - good old winter champs like Yootha, Brandy Balloon, Tetrabine... I could go on. We 'knew ' these horses. Nowadays we have to evaluate the form of horses who haven't raced for 2 years and then only started over 4 miles in a field of 3 at Kempton Park.

Good luck everyone
