    I was just very lucky that I backed my old mans advice and backed the thing tourner was on in the race after. Dads got about 5 jockeys he reckons you always look out for when they race interstate and he's one.

    Only had money on unpretentious today but it was scratched so got a refund.

    Have a few punts for sat...buffering & solzhenitsyn. got small money on ulundi, vatuvei and dare to dream as well. Each bet is each way.

    Was on Sea Siren in the Manikato and she served me well first up, biggest competition to her becoming the best sprinter in the country will depend on the return of Black Caviar and Ortensia and I think she'll destroy them in the Patinack Classic. With you on Solzhenitsyn, really like the horse.

    Shawhardi at 5.50 is such a good bet as well, Puissance de Lune was a class and a half above everything else at the Bendigo Cup but I think he's too short @ 2.80.

    Reckon following your (and Julian, tbf) tips in the past has served me very well so I'll continue to. Really like Solzhenitsyn - originally took an interest in it as it's named after a favourite author of mine but it's quality. Won me big a few weeks ago.

    Same reason my dad likes Solzhenitsyn, plus it's got a good record.

    Yeh big fan of Solzhenitsyn, was my horse to watch this Spring coming down from Queensland to Vic. Don't know if I can back it here though, I still haven't seen Free Wheeling's run in the last from Saturday but I reckon down in the weights it's a pretty good chance.

    Will probably take First4 in the Patinack, so many good horses that can win on the day. Snitzerland with 51.5kgs @ $17 has to value.

    Strongly agree with that Snitzerland notion.

    Yeah, agreed.

    Might even chuck some cheeky cash on Fontelina. Will be a good race.

    I'll back tourners ride in the patinack.

    also, tomorrow. you cunts should have a look at Kempsey and back pretty much everything terry treichel is riding. one of if the not the best country jockey I have seen. Ben looker is very, very good as well.

    I was all over Gallileo's Choice, was sure it was gonna get it.


    Telegraph said Green Moon would win in Mondays edition, had the luckiest combination of colour/gate/number etc.

  13. Alex AJ O'Driscoll

    As far as i'm aware she looks like returning to racing for a swansong.

    She has a couple of races left around the country. The owner/trainer said they'll retire her before if need be though.

    Just put 5 on every ride of his tomorrow. No idea about any of the horses or the odds (no fixed odds were given so I just went top tote) - hopefully comes through. If not, meh.
