Yeah, I don't like betting 2-3 months out. Too much chance for things to go wrong.

I started trying this idea in 2001 when I got Ethereal at $18 the week before she won the Caulfield Cup. I think she ended up paying about 9 dollars on the day. I didn't do any good in 2002, but that didn't matter too much because Media Puzzle was my big bet on the day. And last year I was VERY confident about Makybe Diva but I didn't get a big advantage there because I got $10 and she paid about 9 on the day. Being a pretty cautious punter, I've never been one for taking cups doubles, but I might have to start because in 3 of the last 4 years, I would have won. I could have got around $50 for this year's double.
