Hi becareful, thanks for your comments.

Yes, she definitely came up very short but, in retrospect, probably deserved the level of public support. Not the sort of selection to instantly supercharge the bank balance, but it gave me an 80% return on my day's outlay so I'm more than content with that.

Here's my little update:
Since 17/5/2002:

18 Tips
8 Wins (44%)
Return (per $1 win) $25.40
Profit (on turnover) 41%

I only ever bet for the win but, for anyone interested, here's the corresponding place figures:

12 Places (66%)
Return (per $1 place) $22.20
Profit (on turnover) 23%

The dividends are just ordinary SuperTab - simply because that's where my money is bet.

Best of luck to all forum members for this new racing season. May we all learn something profitable in our endeavours. Keep chipping away.
