Well it seems that the betting public will never learn:
AR3(26.11.05 2:17p.m.E.S.D.T.), a small field of 7 starters, the topweight was odds on and was to be ridden by a 3kg apprentice and the horse was the subject of an intense media "push."
A true recipe for disaster and the poor suffering betting public are the ones to pay for it again!
Of course the favourite didn't win - it ran third but NTD due to the number of starters.

Cheers.

The 'public' also voted for that little Johny 'fascist' Howard. I have no sympathy for any of them. They get what they pay for.

Crash,
Take it easy mate!
I suggest you have a little talk to gazman who will explain the benefits of a good merlot.

Cheers.

Anyone who loves flooding their system with sulfur, deserves a merlot. Straight up spirits thanks. Preferably a good sour mash Bourbon or a good single malt Scotch [politically correct peasants] :-)

maker's mark is the sour mash i drink crash and as for the wine its a bit ,,you get what you pay most of the time....but if you only drink a few glasses you might not get so **********???????cheers........gazman.........

'maker's mark is the sour mash i drink crash '

Now your talking turkey[wild]. That's not a bad drink either !!!

all those top shelf sour mashes are juct soooooo nice but the cheif has a bit of a sideways look if they go to fast.............

Oh ****** hell Gazza, I live on the largest waterway in Victoria [outside my door in fact]. I would kill to catch what you did mate. They stuffed this place up by damming the Thompson river.
I spent many years of my life as a [once famous] custom rod builder. From split cane fly rods to Game fishing rods [colour coded for their boats] up in Cairns. Gees, you might start to think you have got a handle on who I am if you really know your fishing [I wrote for Fishing World for many years, especially about game fishing off the rocks [sothern NSW and VIC border area in the 70's early 80's].

Cheers.

Crash, I used to read stories about Green Cape back in the early 80's and drool. Managed to visit those hallowed rocks once, but not to fish...the place was deserted, except for a boat drift fishing about 100m out.

i once brought a barra rod from a old bloke in melborne in the mid 80s (Private)and he was selling all his gear becouse of ill health,he was selling two slit cane rods made by the same person(15 peice i think)and he told me they were cheap at around 800 each and im pretty sure the name on them was not ozzie sounding the name sort of reminds me of a certain melbourne bookie.....gazman....
