As predicted last week we sneaked a small win. I hope you learned a lesson and bet with the corporate bookies in lieu of your local TAB. If not, you have no respect for money. Today’s mail is not strong. Take care with small bets only today.

r1 n2 TROMSO The shortest priced nag going around in Sydney today and hence not much value. I will be saving my stake with a place bet on Gai’s New Day Rising

r3 n2 RAIHANA Not too much known about this one but a definite tip direct from the track this morning for the David Payne trained neddy with Bowman steering.

r7 n3 DECISION TIME  I am told this neddy has been jumping out of its skin since the 1st up run 2 weeks ago. Keep the faith.

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

We turned a small profit last week and I expect we may do the same today. No value whatsoever but astute betting with the corporate bookies will give us an advantage.

Race 3 n5 MISS INDEPENDENT Nice last start win and again well placed. We need to pray for some genuine pace otherwise the fav may get a soft lead.

Race 4 n6 WINTER KING With all the scratchings this neddy is now tomato sauce odds. Does look too nippy for this lot. Paying better than bank interest.

Race 6 n7 SQUAMOSA This horse is race fit, is well placed with the weights, has been killing them in track gallops and is trained by Gai. Did I miss anything?

Race 7 n5 KHEMOSABI My pro punter pal tells me he has been reading the smoke signals about this neddy all week. He has already this morning invested a 5 figure sum on this race fit neddy. I’m following him in, what about you?

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

Great to catch up with the Professor during the week over a meal and a red or three! Unfortunately the Gelding was restricted to the stable. Next time old mate.

Race 1 n5 HIDDEN WONDER Comes in nicely based on ratings and loves the mile trip. Will be on the pace and will look the winner in the straight

Race 2 n3 DAL DAL No prize for picking this neddy as every man and his dog has jumped on. Gai has thrown the blinkers on and the pro punters took the early price bet by the corporate bookies

Race 6 n2 DECISION TIME The best horse in the race without question! Trialled brilliantly and is a super e/w bet. If this race was 200m longer I would declare this neddy.

Race 8 n 10 SUPERNOVA and n12 STORM KITE Finish the day with a few dollars e/w both of these. Our ratings man says they are the best placed and their current prices are very inviting

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost

Happy birthday tomorrow to all those beautiful nags who filled our pockets with lobster purchasing cash over the past 12 months! A very wet track at Rosehill means it is a day for punt drunks and Sydney Colt groupies.

Race 1 n2 AFRICAN PRINCE Will love the ‘heavy 10’ track and the pull in the weights

Race 2 n3 BACK ON TOP A pro punter convinced me to make this the ‘banker’ bet of the day. This neddy eats mud for breakfast and is very fit and in form.

Race 4 n1 MAGIC MODEL Pro punters in the know jumped all over the corporate bookies when early prices were released. I am told it has trialled outstandingly. At the time of writing this post the bookies are still betting a good e/w price (it will not stay that way!).

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

Plenty of mail around from 2 pro punters and man who provides a ratings and pricing service for 2 rails bookies. Not much value but winners seemed assured. Last week we had 1 win from 2 selections with Huckelberry Friend a scratching (I’m told Gelding apparently said on the radio show it ran last – maybe he was given that bum steer by his friend Bendigo Betty)

Race 2 n7 Dal Dal Won 1 from 1 for Gai and I’m told the stable cash is going on this one.

Race 3 n6 Skyerush Last start winner who will get a suck run from barrier 1

Race 5 n1 Tripple Elegance Chris Waller has this neddy flying with wins at its past 2 starts

Race 7 n6 Electric Dreams Great run 1st up from spell when wide all way for 4th behind superstars Loce Conquers All and Hay List. This is a significantly weaker race.

Moeny lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
