CP,
I suppose in a way I have got to agree, in those days it was actually fun going to the track talking the all the regulars, and watching the ones one learnt to watch.
I still remember Con Kafataris in the interstate ring as basically a snotty nose kid starting out when his old man was a rails bookie, look at him today.
Actually he gave me a bit of good advise one day and that was on Brisbane wednesday meetings look at the Bris prices coming out of Bris and if the Syd interstate books had a horse particularly short compared to the Bris price, get on.
He wasn't far wrong.
Today it's a job no emotion just a ****** screen and keyboard, but better than working or having a business.
I have to admit though when I backed Strasbourg the other day only $20 e/w I was probably yelling as much as you did when your millionare won on sat.
As cynical as I sound sometimes I guess some of the thrill is still inside me.
All the best.
Hey management you did it again must be costing you a fortune having that little gremlin monitoring every post.
I really can't see what is wrong with bloady when one can read newspapers and they print berstad.
