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.
