Have had a week in Melbourne where I enjoyed some lovely lobster and assorted seafood with the Professor. Many thanks for his hospitality. I hope to return the favour by supplying a money maker at Rosehill tomorrow. Have picked up some mail direct from Gai’s stable and we will be going one out this week.

Race 7 n9 LIGHT BRIGADE e/w ($8.0) I am told in no uncertain terms this is a serious racehorse on the way up. It’s last run was a ripper and Gai has it absolutely ready for tomorrow. At $8.0 I have unleashed e/w.

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