I'm there too [age] and have the same dreams:-)

You said the same thing last Sunday. Do you suggest we just ignore everything you post on a Saturday night from here on in?

Crash you lunatic, stop drinking and posting. Trust me, i know the feeling.

Lucky we don't have night racing on the gallops on a Saturday eh crash?




I usually unwind with a few on a Saturday night, but wouldn't trust myself to bet or post. So I go play online poker (free) so I get a buzz, but no damage is ever done.

Crash,
Just looking at this post again and wondering what a straight up exacta is.
Your other tip, (Brom's fidelity, (Felinity) ran 3rd.

Hi Imagele,

A Quinella is picking two horses to finish or second in any order (1st and 2nd), you can pick more than two.

An exacta is picking two horses to finish in correct order (ist and 2nd), you can pick more than two.

A straight up exacta is picking only two horses to finish in correct order (1st and 2nd).

Unless crash means by straight up, he took his horse to win with the field for 2nd

Thanks Chrome.
I know all about exactas and quinellas.
The term "straight up" had me foxed.
I couldn't understand why Crash was claiming to have Snagged the exacta for $20-00 on Charmed Lady/Broms Felinity when that horse ran 3rd.
I guess he meant he took the field with Charmed lady for $2-00 at a cost of $20-00

On reflection I can see that crash has probably taken his 2 sels. with the field in an exacta for a return of $101-00 (supertab)
A bit of a contradiction really.
Half his exacta investment on Charmed Lady would have returned $130-00 (supertab)

'guess he meant he took the field with Charmed lady for $2-00 at a cost of $20-00'

A 'straight up' exacta is 1/field. One on top, everything else below['straight up', get it?].

You have got it right mate. I was a bit swizzled when I posted. The money the handbrake was counting was from my 4 win bets [ I never mentioned all of them in my tips I don't think] at $... a pop.

Cheers.

Chrome and Mad had it, but my hat tips to that one Sportz !!!
