Ok I have woken from my slumber in what turned out to be an awful day yesterday would officially come down to be my worst ever. I managed to run 2nd with an awful lot of my picks which I backed. Southern Crown who I actually backed e/w, Pin Up, Langness, Ulysses then had one bet in brissie all day where you reckon it came Fleet Street was it's name and once again it ran 2nd. then last but not least there was Cianara well it only managed 3rd but was closer to winning than most of the others.
The worst ones for me were Ulysses and Pin Up was pretty confident with them and well Bossy rode Pin Up and didn't get the best of luck got held up for a bit at the start of the straight probably the only ride all day that he got held up on. Then Bossy knocks me off on the post on Rokocoko after getting th perfect run through what a day.
All I have left to say is congrats to the Diva easily the best stayer I have seen she absolutely kicked there heads in out there yesterday the disappointing part for me was a horse like On a Jeune running 2nd that just didn't make sense to me I know it was a good run in the Geelong Cup but it has improved by about 8 lengths there in that race. Xcellent was a good run I questioned as to whether he was truly a stayer well he made my tip look very ordinary which it was but I will get to that in a second. Leica Falcon was a solid run but with the weight it had on it's back it had no right to be passed by a horse like On a Jeune. After that I thought Lachlan River and Portland Singa both put in solid runs and atleast making the QLD Derby & Brisbane Cup form look a bit better than it has recently.
As for Railings I don't know what the hell happened to it for the most part I couldn't even find it in the run even less chance when the straightened it looked like it might have run into a couple of dead ends but it wouldn't have made any difference anyway I wouldn't have thought but I know one thing the Caulfield Cup form looks awful now.
I will have the tables up shortly to say I was intoxicated yesterday was an understatement (about a dozen Smirnoff Blacks and a few Golds will do that to you) hope some of the rest of you had a better day than me I wasn't far off a good one really the cup was the worst race I had all day long I wasn't even close there.
