Then My best bet of the day was left riderless at the 400! had it anchored in quaddies, doubles, multiples. You name it i had it going!

then larry Cassidy decided he would miss the jump on Desert War, but instead of back in the pack with cover he decided he would try and win a 1600m race covering 1800m with the top weight.

Then for some reason i took studebaker over our smoking joe and once again, the rider decided he would try and run as fast as the horse possibly could for the first half of the race and this totally f***ed my chances!
And just to top of a real good day i took a 5 horse boxed tri in that race, couldnt decide between grey song and command n' conquer. Guess what i took. got 1st 2nd and grey song beat bush honey into 3rd by a bees d***.

Decided that i had lost enough money for the day and took my bat and ball and went home (was at the track, didnt really. But i consider a $5 win bet game over), and am now left to lick my wounds.


Might i add that all the money i lost came from winnings and starting bank for Oaks day. Finished just up for carnival so i guess i can't complain but before emirates things were looking quite rosy.
