I had a very good day at the races yesterday, as soon as i stepped off the bus at Randwick the rain stopped and i knew it was going to be good. First race in Adelaide got a tip on the #8, ran a great race and fought off two other horses to win by a nose paying $4.8.

Tipped a few winners and loser between the that and the Melbourne cup. So i get to the big race, having already put my money on at centrebet, I feel confident. I have $100 on Leica Falcon, who i got at $11 before the Caulfield Cup and $100 on Eye Popper who at $9.50 was huge overs imo.

Before I was really into horse racing, a mate from Adelaide used to give me tips for the big one, always outsiders and ones he was biased for but i went with them. 3 years ago he told me Jardines Lookout, for which i had $20 on for the place. I was extremely happy, so last year i take his tip again for On a Juene for a place, no luck there, but i wasnt going to complain as he got me a $15 place getter the year before. So this year he comes back to me with On a Juene again, this time im very skeptical as none gives her a chance again. After a good day on Saturday at the Derby Races, I decide to throw $50 on him for the place. Being at Randwick i had to watch the big screens and couldnt really see what was happening, i thought it was the falcon charging home on the outside like she had done in all her races. The numbers come up and On A Juene has run second, i was esstatic.

Straight away i put $100 each way on Sky Right in the next at Randwick (biggest bet i have ever had), Sky Right wins by about half a length and i win. I lost on the last two races at Randwick, but i could hardly complain. Had a good night afterwards too.

Just sharing my story, did anyone else have a good day?
