owning a racehorse is fucking shit! Whose stupid idea was this??
So far, my ownership has consisted of waiting for her to get fit; drawing the carpark; drawing the carpark; having her scratched (from a race she drew the carpark) because another horse kicked her in the float; now having her injury worse than thought so she is out for a few weeks (with associated vet bills).
When does the fun start?
Reliable Man Filly! Pearl series nominated with aspirations of being an Oaks starter!
Just saying
How much for an IN mate?

It will just be a racing lease so no buy in apart for the percentage share of the pearl series nomination. Generally works out to be $250/month per 10% share

My account got a much needed top up yesterday. Thank fuck.
Jayne's pick of the yard came home twice at good odds. And in a massive rarity, not only a winner at Morphetville, but a winner at Morphetville that paid $11

Me and a mate met for a beer at lunch and did easy trifecta/quinella. We got a $400quin and then at about 5pm we got a $5k trifecta. We were messed up and I was asleep before the rugby. Woke to the anthems of the cricket just after midnight. Great day.
Stupidly, when I got home I had gotten $200 worth of takeaways and gave half my winnings to the misses!!! Gah!!!!! Stupid booze

Had two at the trials today. Both went well, especially Mr Pickles. (I think he won his heat but results not published, just the video of the trial)
ExpressMe jumped like a rocket but we want her to sit in behind and run on home well. Having an apprentice on prevented that and she went straight to the lead. Pleasing run even though she doesn't like it that heavy and used it all up first half of the trial.

Boom! He did win which is a small surprise. He is only a little tacker but a big heart.

Polly drew barrier 12 at Te Rapa for Saturday. She will be at quite long odds I imagine.
ABC on board.
Hopefully ride her quiet in behind and flash home over the top like her last outing there. (Not sure if rail will be as far out either)
Big unknown for us is if she will step up to this mile distance. They way she runs on after winning a race, suggests she will but you can't help but be cautious.
I'll be having a go.

me too, because i am terrible at punting (unless she wins, in which case i am a genius)
-
@mariner4life I doubt you are as terrible as me, luckily I know I am smalltime and limit my bets to under $10 (which has its drawbacks when you stumble onto a good 'un
) -

@JK I only had $8 left in my account, $4 e/w...
Congrats @Hooroo
Cheers lads!!! Super chuffed. Not an awful horse.

Polly back at Te Rapa on Saturday, same distance, same class. Up against the boys this time though and some performers in this race too. Opened favourite at $4.
Mr Pickles is having his first start in race 4. I have absolutely no idea how he will go. He galloped with Polly yesterday and went hard early and got whiplash as Polly breezed on by for fun. So at least Polly is looking good.
Won his last trial but true-love thinks the field he beat was really average. Physically, he looks fantastic.
I will be having a go all the same but real money is on Pols.

Wowsers! Money has heavily gone on her!! Into $3:20 now.
Waiting for Mr Pickles fixed odds to be published

Ooooffff!! $9:50! That is far too short!
Will be taking the tote money I think -
Really happy with Mr Pickles. He ran it tough and held on for 4th. For a first start, it was really good. He will go again at Taupo with Ricky Baker.
Polly over-raced for the first 600 and then got checked back to 2nd last and flew home for 4th as well. Obviously disappointing result but can't fault the horse, it was a super run. I thought it might mess with her mind a bit but she ate every last scrap that night and got straight into her breakfast which is really pleasing. She goes back to Te Rapa in two weeks. The King will be on Holiday I think but ABC may be back from Singapore as licence isn't sorted yet (I think)
