Hey Real Deal, great work mate. A guy who drinks at my RSL is a part owner and he said it had never been better. His last run was tops and has there ever been a race that a horse has looked better suited in? Agree how well weighted Dandy is, but it is on that ratings system now so can't begrudge. What i can't understand is why bookies take such a set against him EVERYTIME HE RUNS.

Had a ********er of a day in the MV punters club, started with a few beers and ended in me and two mates absolutely giving it to the tipster and the price is right dude for backing their last $837 on Barraba Road instead of "The Kid" we, told him (and the whole palladium) it was a good thing B4 the race. The old folks with there BYO tea and biscuits were none to impressed, we got many a dagger from the bewildered mob as they watched their $20 investment dwindle to a mere pie voucher.

I must admit Oamaru Storm has slipped under my radar a bit, but i have never backed him or against him so i haven't really noticed his talent. Silver Birch is very close to a win, getting right down in weight now and was never extended from impossible position on Sat. Orange County is a future star, started v. good odds after top run behind Danerich (who i backed, and lucky to collect) His sectionals were far superior to Dandy Kid's carrying .5kg more after the claim, and with similar runs.
