Reply to Crash and all the others who commented. Yes Crash I guess I am a lurker but I am new to racing and still learning. I read all your comments and tips and then go and see how they run. I also read about ratings from you guys and I have done a google search and have learned about ratings which I did not know before. As I said I am just new to horse racing......your racing language is new to someone not used to the jargon....and I would be embarrassed to keep asking you guys to explain something. Soooooo, give us a break....we are very interested us 'lurkers' and we will have input, well I will.....when I bring myself up to speed with racing and do not feel like such a rank amateur. In the meantime I love getting your tips and seeing how they pan out. Thankyou for a very interesting site. (smiles)

no such thing as a stupid question

how are you going to learn if u don't ask?

Man if I had one bit of advise for any of these so called lurkers please stay away from my tips they are woeful

It would be great to here from some new guys around here and quite honestly I for one am certainly not ************ when it comes to racing I love having a punt and I love some of the horses right now that favourite distinction would settle with Apache Cat but there are others.

Don't be afraid to ask any questions guys not everyone here might even know the answer but I am sure anyone of us would only be to happy to help out.

So very nice of both of you and thankyou. I kinda figured you guys were there to chat not be an answering service so thankyou.

We are just a bunch of racing tragics.

"they're racing...." (i think my heartrate just went up to 150)

"Northerly goes around Freemason in the back straight and takes up the running..."(175)

"Northerly rounds the turn in the Caulfield Cup..." (200)

"He pins back the ears as he responds to the roars of the crowd..." (225)

"Here comes Fields of Omagh, but it's Northerly..."
(I think i've busted my boiler honey)
yep, pretty tragic - but PRETTY GOOD !
