SANDGROPER JUST DROPING A LINE TO SAY DONT GIVE UP YOU ARE GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO AND IT IS GREAT TO SEE SOME ONE TALKING ABOUT PERTH RACING.ALL THE TIME PEOPLE TALK ABOUT RACING ON THE EAST COAST. I MY SELF LIVE IN BRISBANE AND BET MORE ON PERTH THEN I DO BRISBANE.SO KEEP IT UP JUST ANOTHER QUESTION BEFORE I GO WHITE FOIL IS A VERY GOOD HORSE LAST PREP BUT WHAT WENT WRONG LAST START. REPORTED TO HAVE TRIALED WELL BEFORE LAST START AND WHEN POORLY CAN YOU SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS CHEERS.

Sandgroper they are good. Keep going.

Agree with Prince. Top stuff.

Thanks for positive feedback, the prince, dusty dude & The Catparrot.

No need for anymore feedback, Sandgroper postings will continue!

White Foil’s first-up run was very disappointing, the prince. As per an interview race morning (on local racing radio), connections were expecting a good first-up effort.

According to stewards report, White Foil raced wide and ungenerously.

Interestingly scratched from Belmont yesterday, and has been nominated for the Farnley Stakes this Saturday. On the limit AND WITH A GEAR CHANGE – blinkers on (first time).

Just digressing a little, the prince. You mentioning you come from Brisbane brought back memories.

Did a working stint in Brisbane (some 6 months in the IT dept at Castlemaine Brewery) many years ago. During this time naturally developed a taste for the old XXXX (which I still occasionally partake) and Brisbane’s winter racing (I remain envious of what I consider your great winter weather).

Still look forward every year to your winter racing, but to this day have a much higher success rate at Eagle Farm than Doomben.

Not sure exactly why, although I do at time have different theories. Also seems to me, that a lot of horses either do well at one or the other track, but not at both!?

comments on previous several items.
white foil. i have backed him he won a listed race in early march and has great promise. i have given up backing first up.
other commentators on this list serve mentioned analysing our own betting and i feel that its too difficult to win on first uppers. so would give white foil another chance.
re doomben and eagle farm.
doomben seems to have a favouring to inside barriers eagle farm appears fairer.
as for giving up - never - i guess that posting our selections brings some reality to our success rate. over a days punting am quite happy but dont ask me to give you a hot tip.
