Thanks for that Makybe Diva.

Well I'm a bit of a novice re; Brisbane racing but I'm persisting with learning the metro racing up there and I'm improving. It turned out I was dead right about Star Shiraz [big flop] in the Pink Slipper. When I went to bet my selection Fiery Sunset it was scratched, so I went for my 2nd. pick that I thought was set for the race and peaked nicely last week, Star of Asia. With a name like that, I thought it would handle the hot weather just fine :-)

No worries, Crash. Star of Asia and Chasin Tail have been very impressive lately in Bribane and I believe that Mesmerising which finished second in its race will most likely be going to Melbourne next year. Star Shiraz finished fourth in the race after jockey Glen Colless reported that the horse stumbled at the top of the straight where she lost her momentum. Star Shiraz was two lengths off the winner and will still head to Melbourne. I fancied Remmla in the 2yo's and won and paid $26.

Bet you're glad about those replacements.

Wow what a shocker in Brissie for me My first loss here in ???? yonks ..
i knew it was a going to be a hard day but i was way off...thank god for the last which followed my ratings down to about 7th..weird ..but very nice ..
Race 1.
How could you rate that donkey who's been racing around a black stump in picnic land..
Race 2.
No bet here but did play around with a tri...thought that Special offfer has some talent.
Race 3.
Just the star...useless donkey...
Race 4
Another tri race with only 7 runners....close but no cigar for the tri..
Race 5.
Bunsen Honeydew flying again at the end...seems to make a habit of it..
Race 6.
Shanambah ..seemed to have his chance...dissapointing
Race 7.
Mamaeluke...same as above..
Race 8
Wooohoooo a win ..good onya Radar....got the tri a few times and the first 4 1 1/2 times

Result in brissie .. 1 from 6 betting races....loss of 30% which isnt bad considering i only got one home who was favourite..think i'll take that and run..

Sydney
Sky Right (to short for me), Ledger (way shorter than i thought but still had a go and still has alot to learn), Gunfire Mesiah (starting to get costly), Forestreno (always runs on ..getting costly aswell)
wow Sydney 0 for 3,, worse than Brissie ..loss 100%

Adelaide
Tora Tora Tora , Fraaclase both placed but not good enough..
0 for 2 and the figures are copping a hamering.

Werribee
Rokokoco won..but was to short for me...figures

Gold Coast
Agrios,,,dissapointing, He wears the Crown a Win !!!
1 from 1 ...nice little profit of 50%

Belmont
Losses on Sportivo and Maximus minuis ,,
0 for 2 ,, 100% loss

Melbourne
Saved the best for last.
*Strikeline...got to far back,,never in it
*Leica Falcon.. great win ..this horse has something..nice result but i didnt rate Sarara and it cost me the 1st4..very happy anyway.
*Confectioner... I thought the ride sucked..the horse is flying ..
*Red Dazzler.. got smashed..
*Barely A Moment.....woohooo wow what a win..can't beleive i got 20/1 yesterday afternoon...still pinching myself,,,,whish i really unloaded but i only half staked on Friday incase it didnt rain..huge result !! the tri only for a whole but the 1st4 for a 1/4 was huge.....
felt like a genius 20/1 ???
*Crimson Reign... great ride by Beadman. another great result..whish i had a 1st4 happening here...got the tri a few times..but the market had these 3 ontop aswell..but after a day where i struggled i was very happy..

So in summary after a weird and wonderful topsy turvy kinda day..i ended up ahead ..only 20% but i'll take that...i'll take that and run like a Homer screaming woohoo naked through the house....because at one stage before Barely a Moment it looked like disaster ...but i finished strong ..thank god..
love the punt ..
i guess if i have a really good look at myself i probably had to many runners and should of cut down on a few more...especially in Brissie where i wasnt confident at all..but the way i've been arsing it in Brissie how could i stop....not many days where you get such a good result like with BOM and i kind of wasted it by having such shockers in other states..
love the Saturdays ..
sorry if i'm rambling on but at onestage yesterday i almost had the noose ready ..being my biggest outlay ever on a single raceday i was alittle nervous..

Hope you guys had a win or 2..

well done Sven with the super subs ,,,whish i had seem those,,
