Sydney Colt groupies will know from following these posts that I detest Saturday racing being held at provincial tracks. I wasn’t even going to look at the fields but then I got a tip from Randwick for one of Gai’s runners. When this happens you have to sit up and take notice.

Race 3 n3 NORTHERN GLORY e/w I am told Gai has it primed and ready for a 1st up tilt. I grabbed $7 e/w on Thursday. I have no great confidence as I do not like betting at provincial tracks but e/w seems a safe way of protecting our bankroll.

I have been watching the betting on Flemington race 1 n11 MISS STEELE where since Wednesday to now (Friday night) it has firmed from $7.0 to $3.4. It will be interesting to see if champion Melbourne tipster Gelding has it among his selections.

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