y not? [posted by Stix].


Why didn't I mention Sociologist here Stix?
Besides Sociologist, I didn't mention Orrong here either, as they were Persur's view of the meeting and his only 2 selections for it.

My selections here were my thoughts [7 crownies my only correct one] which weren't going to be a copy of Purser's selections. Didn't stop me benefiting on the Socialist's win in the comp. and in the pocket though, as unlike here, they were comp. selections [get them from wherever you like or handicap your own], not a meeting point of view which I posted here.

Great win by the All stars in the comp. Stix. Nice going by all of us:-))

had a couple bets yesterday but had decided to stick to a big quinella for the day. i had 300 on feelin dandy and muscle up.......afterwards i wasnt feelin dandy and i felt like musclin up and punching the hell out of regimental lol

Race 1.
Alberts Return always looked to good for them and did a few things wrong and still beat them easily...to short for me though
Race 2.
Didnt get the odds for chasin tail but did have a play with the multis here and was nicley suprised at the exacta..
Bikkie tin Blues was just outstanding...has jumped another level of late..
Race 3.
Nothing here for me.....thought Buzz was very honest as usual...and was nice to see Circus Maximus finish off the race well,,not usually ridden that far back and it seemd to suit..
Race 4.
Backed Persuades and was just no chance after racing wide,,,..Spur me on looked solid and was primed for this .....capable of going on with it next start...
Race 5
Every man and his *** was on Mosso including me...but Socialist was incredible ..hindsight i should have backed him aswell at the odds after following him for years...did have him in the multis..had the 1st4 in my 1st 2 lines....exacta was very nice .... Socialist doesnt owe me a thing now..
thought Sequestrate ridden to close battled on very well to finish 4th...Bold Reason should have finished closer,,no luck at all..
Race 6.
How unlucky was Sir Monashee...had to stop in the straight and start agin and still finished 3rd,,huge run...
i was very happy with Grandway Shogun..a ittle to nippy for him and he was ridden alot closer than i thought...but still a very good run..
Race 7.
Devil raced well with that sort of tempo up front..battled on nicely...Consular just keeps on keeping on.....
I backed Devil even though i was expecting better odds....
wish i had a piece of the 5 figures a friend of mine won on Consular ...celebrations went well into the night...(still feeling it)
Race 8.
Silky Red Boxer was ridden closer than i thought...,,had the good run though and was entitled to do better...Benedetti's run was the run of the day...wide , big weight and still ran on well...massive run...

i knew it was going to a tough day at the Farm...
got lucky with some nice multis...2nd and 5th race...the Socialist result was very nice ,,especially the exacta..,,,..still a loss at the Farm but not to much damage..

Sydney
Awfull
Our Jetsetter, Gumnuts, Prima Nocte ...all losing...
Melbourne
Umbula...loss
General Conclusion...woohooo nice win ,,nice odds and had the race rated 1,2,3 ..great result all round...
Adelaide
Akhton..to short,,
Star Peril...woohoo..just hung on ..needed this...
Gold Coast
Cocktail Supreme...promising horse this...very nice win..
Katenian...never got a crack at them...unlucky
Belmont
Kim Invader...another win,,,,in great form....keyton grace unlucky..

Another profitable Saturday that keeps this little dream run going......
Sydney really hurt and the unusual loss in Brissie meant we wont be retirering just yet but i'm happy with anything in the black as we are bound to hit a snag sooner or later..

Horses to watch,,Bikkie Tin Blues, Sequestrate, Circus Maximus, Benedetti. Bold reason..

Hope you guys had a good one...
