Wink my younger days

Hi all,

just on the tipsters columns,

When i had my very first dable on the punt 15 years ago, i would walk to the newsagent every saturday, come back armed with the holy grail (telegrapgh form guide), make a BIG cuppa,and i mean BIG, go back to bed with said trusty felt tipped pen (couldnt afford clip board) and circle the "more favoured" in each column that were say 6/1 ish in the race. I would also listen to the fellas talking on the radio about each race and would find one in each race to put my $2 bets on. I honestly did not know what a maiden was apart from the one lying next to me complaining that i shouldnt be wasting the day drawing on the form guide, i didnt understand weights, barriers, trainers, mud,...nothing.
You may laugh but it did work, it helped me pay for my second car ! (mind you it only cost 3K and i saved all year)

True story

God health to everyone
Dingo
