I have been enjoying the Saturday morning trackwork where an ear to the ground can prove the difference between a winning and losing day.  Have been hearing the right people giving a huge rap to one of Gai’s 2 year olds. Will be making it a standout and our sole selection at the Farm tomorrow.

Race 1 n6 NO LOOKING BACK A lot of talk at the track about this neddy trained by Gai. There is only one thing to do and that is to load up and shove.

I’m heading to Melb on Sunday for a week and hope to catch up with the Professor during the coming week.

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

Last week I mentioned I was heading to early morning trackwork. Well, in advance of tomorrow I picked up mail for 2 of Gai’s and I will be on both “best of the best” with the corporate bookies. For those who have been asleep at the wheel, “best of the best” offers you the best dividend out of the 3 state TABs or the best fluc at the track. All you need do is put your money on up to 40 mins before the race. Both Luxbet and Centrebet offer “best of the best”. Anyway, I’ll be back at trackwork in the morning. Get on Gai’s pair tomorrow.

Race 1 n7 KUCHINSKAYA

Race 6 n7 EMBARASSED

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

Off to early morning trackwork tomorrow so getting some early mail posted for my groupies and fellow punt drunks.

Randwick

Race 2 n5 SHADOW LINE e/w Well in on ratings and not a hard race. Nice each way bet to get us going.

Race 3 n5 DRIEFONTEIN The pros tell me that going on trial form this is easy money. Jump on!

Race 7 n8 YURRAPENDI e/w Cummings horse with potential. I jumped on at $21 e/w. Will have a saver tomorrow on BOUND TO BLUSH who has been very impressive.  

Race 8 n3 ROSIE’S REWARD (will have 70% of my stake on this neddy) and n11 TONK (will have 30% of my stake on this one). Between them they should control the tempo up front.

Flemington

I am told by a ratings nut that I must back two horses in Race 4 who equally have a break on this field and they are both $6.0+. So, I’ll be splitting my bet 50/50 on n1 AMAH ROCK and n2 MAHISARA

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

Good luck to all the ‘once a year’ punters and those, like myself, who are referred to as ‘punt drunks’. It is not easy making a profit on the cup so I suggest a few dollars on some neddies who have been tipped to me either by a pro punter or our ever reliable ratings man.

Flemington

Race 5 n2 KARUTA QUEEN Very short price but it is hard to see this getting beaten. Ran 2nd to the mighty Black Caviar, then won with a leg in the air at its next outing.

Race 6 n2 COMBAT KITTY Only 3 hopes of winning in this race and our neddy is the best rated.

Race 7 (the cup) 1ST: AMERICAIN  2nd: NIWOT  3RD:   GLASS HARMONIUM 4TH: MOURAYAN 5TH: DUNADEN

Race 9 n11 PARABLES Will finish this off at a 100 miles an hour. Prepared to the minute to win this

Randwick

Race 6 n2 SAN ZAIM (65% of race outlay) and n8 SONG AND ROSES (35% of race outlay) On ratings these 2 combined offer the best value in Sydney all day.

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