Some rain around today after a wet Friday night. Winter is not a good recipe for backing winners. Last week we took a step backwards and our 2012 profit is at $1543. Have had a long morning ringing around the traps and annoying people for a leg up. Only 1 “interest” bet today.

Race 2 n3 NIKODY $25 win (BOBs) $118 place (best of 3 totes with corporates). This odd betting amount will help balance the account 🙂 This neddy will not mind mud pies for lunch.

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

Our profit for 2012 sits at +$1803 following a $120 loss last week when our $5.5 pick was beaten in a photo. We are hoping to get our money early today and then sit back with a beer or twenty. Only 1 more sleep until the air we breathe is taxed!

Race 1 n3 KNIGHT EXEMPLAR $160 win (BOBs). Promising 2yo who won a trial in very exciting fashion. Looks a good horse and hopefully can knock off the fav trained by premiership leader Chris Waller.

Race 2 n3 HENDRICUS $100 win (BOBs). Do not look for this neddy until late where it will finish strongly. Has improved its own weight since it was gelded.

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

Nice to catch up with the Professor while I was in Mleb during the week. I will be making a cameo on tomorrow’s show at 12.30pm. Last week we made a modest profit lifting our 2012 progress to a profit of +$1923. Not a great day to bet today but we have found 1 race worth a cautious flutter. If you are not betting BOBS (best of the best) with Luxbet or Betstar you are a mug!

Race 1 n 4 HEADLESS $70 win (BOBs) and n9 AGULHAS $50 win (BOBs). There are 1 or 2 other hopes in this race but these 2 have impressed at recent trials. Headless has experience and is back from Bris. Agulhas may well prove the best horse coming out of the race. Slight query on barrier and is a first starter for the Snowden yard.

Yes, yes, yes. Last week gave us 3 consecutive weeks of getting the chocolates for Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere. Our winner gave us a profit on the day of +$315 and giving us a 2012 profit of +$1463. Today sees a lack of mail in Sydney and we will go quietly however we have been given the word on a neddy at Eagle Farm, who on ratings, is through the roof. Remember to bet with Centrebet, Luxbet or Betstar. Otherwise you are throwing money away!

Rosehill Race 1 n5 Target In Sight $150 place (the corporate bookies will give us the best of the 3 totes). This is a first starter who has trialled moderately but the mail says it has improved a mile with its gallops. A modest and safe bet.

Eagle Farm Race 2 n4 SOLZHENITSYN $200 win (BOBs) This neddy won at WFA last start and that run will top it off for this. I’m told it is a must bet on ratings alone.

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

Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere who followed the mail last week were rewarded with a profit of +$248 which brings our 2012 profit to +$1148. Thanks to my mates and several twitter followers who sent messages. As winter has arrived we will have many weeks without a bet. Remember at the start of the year we promised a profit. Can any other tipster do that? Just 1 bet today. It is short in the markets but we will gain some value by betting BOBs with Centrebet, Luxbet or Betstar.

Race 1 n6 NECHITA Invest $350 on this neddy who has caught the attention of all the smart judges at Randwick. Has also performed extremely well in an official barrier trial. Diamond Earth will put the pace on for us and we will be storming home. Join the pro punters and bet up on this neddy (BOBs!!!).

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

Last week Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere got the chocolates when Pampelonne did the right thing for us at Scone. We won $250 bringing our 2012 total to +$900. Similarly today at Rosehill there is a race where 1 of 2 nags should be winning. Hence we will bet accordingly and see if we can lift profits above the $1k barrier. Remember to bet BOBs with Centrebet, Luxbet or Betstar.

Race 2 n2 KABAYAN $220 win and also n 7 DESTRUCTION $130 win. Kabayan ran some great times in winning at Wyong and made a few pro punters sit up and rub their hands in glee waiting for a city appearance. Also has the Gai factor! Destruction is 1st up but reports of the trials it has contested make it a “must bet”.

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.

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.
