i though perth racing was extending me a bit but having canterbury major meetings on saturday night is going too far.
i thought they were good races though. moonee valley meeting not very interesting.

a comment on ratings it takes discipline and knowing when they are right.
something i fail to uphold often.
trying to rate too many races and when the ratings are a bit weak and we are looking for a bet anyway brings the ratings undone.

i often ask myself what have i really learnt from following the races.
the answer is usually not being patient enough to wait for a decent horse to back. on any given day there are not many.
