Just digressing a little, the prince. You mentioning you come from Brisbane brought back memories.

Did a working stint in Brisbane (some 6 months in the IT dept at Castlemaine Brewery) many years ago. During this time naturally developed a taste for the old XXXX (which I still occasionally partake) and Brisbane’s winter racing (I remain envious of what I consider your great winter weather).

Still look forward every year to your winter racing, but to this day have a much higher success rate at Eagle Farm than Doomben.

Not sure exactly why, although I do at time have different theories. Also seems to me, that a lot of horses either do well at one or the other track, but not at both!?
