In a Sydney paper,

PUNTERS BORED WITH BETTING ON HORSES, FOOTBALL AND GREYHOUNDS CAN NOW HAVE A FLUTTER ON ALBATROS RACING.
EIGHTEEN OF THE ENDANGERED BIRDS WILL BE MONITORED AS THEY MIGRATE FROM TASMANIA IN THE GREAT ALBATROSS RACE.
SCIENTISTS,BIRD EXPERTS AND PUNTERS WILL BE ABLE TO PLACE A VARIETY OF BETS ON THE BIRDS AND FOLLOW THEIR PROGRESS VIA A BOOKMAKERS WEBSITE. :???:

I'm about to toss a coin, you can have 6/4 whatever you call....good luck. :lol:

Look, this just isn't good enough.
We need more info.
I suggest form from the last three migrations, weight carried during flight, origin & destination of flight and of course the all important barrier draw.
Will the stewards be taking pre & post race swabs?
I think this could be a huge success if they could land some time after the last in Melbourne on Friday nights.

Knowing my luck I'd back the one that was going to win and some ************** with a gun would think it was a big duck and shoot it. :lol:

hey kenchar,i knew a fisherman that had a pet albatross,
one shoreleave he went to town to see a movie.
the ticket girl said,"sir,what is that on your shoulder?"
the fisherman said"that is my pet albatross,albert.wherever i go,albert goes."
"i'm sorry sir,"said the ticket girl"we cant allow animals in here,not even a pet albatross."
so the fisherman went around the corner and stuffed the albatross down his pants,returned to the booth ,bought a ticket and entered the theater.he sat down next to two old emergency room nurses named mildred and marge.
the movie started and the albatross began to squirm.
the fisherman unzipped his pants so albert could stick his head out and watch the movie.
"marge,"whispered mildred.
"what?"said marge.
"i think the guy next to me is a pervert."
"what makes you think so?"asked marge.
"he unzipped his pants and has his thing out,"whispered mildred.
"well dont worry about it ,"said marge
"at our age it isn't anything we havent seen before."
"yes"said mildred "BUT THIS ONES EATING MY POPCORN!"
