Haven't been watching lads, is it leader biased again?

I want to back Ulmann in the next but not if its playing hot from the lead again.

Seen less bias today than on Tuesday TBH

*ahem* (so far)
Just stuck with Coldie each way, pity I blew my bonus birthday bet yesterday otherwise would have doubled up... was hoping the race would pan out Pedrena-esque for it & got the choccies.

These merkins can't even place for me so I get my money back.

If Echo Effect loses next I'm going for the all in bet on Aloisia.

Thoughts on the Quarterback in R5? Paying $11.

Fastnet Tempest was working it's way up to a win but the merkins scratched it

boxed 2 5 10 in the fifth.. whats the trifecta paying?!

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Tell that to every merkin I give a tip too, they expect every to win every time

Giving tips is always fraught with danger. I've only done it twice with one being a completely bullshit winner.

Back in the early 1980s, a nag called Twin Alps was running at Randwick on a bog track with Beadman on board and about 12s in the market. Beadman become indisposed after the previous race and was replaced by.......wait for it......Bill Camer. Out the backdoor it went in the betting after that announcement.

Twin Alps could run on quicksand by its effort that day and won by over five lengths. Being the old 50c unit days, it paid $19.35 for the win and $5 something for the place. Most of the Riverwood Pub backed it and sent the TAB broke. One good mate had $100 e/w on it while another didn't have a cent on it. He wanted to punch me out for not giving him the tip. Trouble is people I didn't even know backed it as well. I had $10 e/w on it.

The tip came from a lady at work who was the sister of the trainer Rob Thomsen. It wasn't even his horse! Ruby and me used to have our regular punting chit-chat on a Friday afternoon before knock off. She gave me several other winners but none anywhere near as good as Twin Alps.

LMAO this is true,friends think if you follow horse racing closely you should be able to pick a winner every single race,if i was able to pick a winner every race would i be sleeping in a shed made of paddlepop sticks.
