A curse on the ATC for programming Saturday racing outside the metro area for the 2nd time in the past month! Don’t these boffins realise that Saturday racing is a religion for punt drunks everywhere? Anyway last week we donked off $80 of our profits leaving us with a healthy +$650 for 2012. Today we look to recoup the lost $80. Remember all bets are ‘BOBs’ with Luxbet, Betstar or Centrebet.

Scone, Race 7 n 1 PAMPELONNE $250 win and n 11 COLORADO CLAIRE $100 win. One of these 2 should be winning. Pampelonne will be up on the pace with a soft run and is entitled to be a short priced fav. Colorado Claire is coming off a sensational group 2 win. A good sized outlay for a modest but highly likely return for Sydney Colt groupies.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

21 today, 21 today, she’s never been 21 before, she’s 21 today. Forget Sydney, forget Melbourne, let’s rejoice at the marvel named Black Caviar who will likely chalk up 21/21 race wins today. We are blessed to have her and should savour every race she contests. She is now part of our country’s history and racing DNA. As Big Kev would say “I’m excited”!

Tom Waterhouse tells me if you had $100 all up Black Caviar every start you would now have just short of $20k.

For 2012 we currently are showing a profit of +$732. Fortunately we got our money before the weaker autumn/winter racing takes over. Just a couple of modest bets for today.

Race 2 n2 TRIBAL ROCK $50 win. Gai had this neddy winning at Wagga recently and it impressed the right people. We are betting that it is a horse on the way up.

Race 4 n11 SHELTERS $30 win. This neddy has never lived up to the early raps of the Snowden yard but it’s last start win at the Kensington track was something to behold. If that win was not a fluke it will be in the finish here. It could be they have found the ‘secret’ to this neddy.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Last week we won $120 at the last day of the Sydney carnival bringing glee to Sydney Colt groupies everywhere and our 2012 profit to +$732. Today there is no metropolitan racing in Sydney (fair dinkum is it 2012 or 1912?). We will let our profit sit in the pocket and wait until next week to punt.

For punt drunks out there who must have a bet or die, I have been told to have a very modest e/w wager on Hawkesbury race 5 n 9 Pontiana.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
