@jk fuck just back the field mate!!
I was on Youngstar on a "Winx Out" market the other week, and was super impressed. Probably go that way.
So many internationals always makes the form hard to pick, but Best Solution looks pretty good value.
Even though it is our business, True-Love always looks at the Australian and NZ racing before making any hard plans on weekends. Hotels must have TAB Trackside too when away. It really is great having someone look after these important aspects of life.
Better still, often she prefers me elsewhere when racing is on so Golf is mostly a go on Saturdays!
I can see why she is indeed True-Love!
My wife never really like horse racing or the punt but its grown on her given the extra luxuries that has been able to afford over the last year or two. Often asked how much is in the account and I give her an honest answer, I only give the balance from the lowest of my 4 accounts though!
But she use to roll the eyes when I said 'Oh need to watch this race' but now shes actually keen to watch any of the big races and any involving winx. Even during the Everest last week I could tell she was fizzing (on the inside anyway)
Mrs Mariner has a passing interest only. She indulges me (and i don't bet enough to win big enough to do anything serious with the money), but if i am watching, she will be next to me checking out the Fashions on Instagram.
Now if we are going to the races? she is all in. New dress! New Hat! New Bag! New Shoes!! Leading up to the Cup season in Cairns there is a never ending procession of couriers arriving at our house. And this is why, if i suggest attending one of the big days down south, she is enthusiastically all in. Bless her.

i think i love her.
Last Saturday was awesome, the kids were roaming the neighbourhood, and Mrs Mariner was happy to watch trash TV inside and have a lazy arvo. So i sat on the couch outside and watched racing all day, drinking beer and punting. Fucking bliss.
I am wondering what my chances are of repeating tomorrow?
Tomorrows all planned for me...
Son has cricket in the morning which means I get to sit in the sun for a couple of hours doing form. Then wifes out from 12 til late and i'm at home with the kids. So BBQ, Beers and Racing!
nice!! i am going to try and do some landscaping work in the morning, so i am done and in front of the TV by lunchtime. Only problem with that is no time for form, or watching the preview shoes on the racing channel

Average, he was re-shod yesterday and is a bit foot-sore this morning. In saying that, sometimes they are sweet race day. Will make a decision in the morning.

Really loved having 40 each way on Homesman

So glad i loaded up on Best Solution yesterday at 15s. My mate was right next to m having loaded up on Homesman so we roared them home. Great race.
3 other winners and my NPC multi coming in made this a decent day.

@hooroo was a nice return on her, I got her @$10.60 for the win, had m'lady for the quinella, but she wasnt quick enough coming 3rd

She threw a shoe over night and had a pulse so we nearly scratched. She was walking fine though and when we got Farrier to re-shoe her, she didn’t flinch. Thought she should go well but a little surprised how well she won.
Lisa rated her magically. Fairly good time too.
Nice to give her a good hit and get the return as she is the nastiest piece of work on the farm. Hates me.

I've gone from not having a betting account, to having one but only using it for big meets down south, to having a bet in every race in geelong today...

Is this a cry for intervention, or you're bragging you've masted another technological development?

neither, just a statement of progress/regress.
And i certainly wouldn't call it mastery...
