Fuck what a weekend
Lunch on Thursday was great. Felt tamer than previous years, but still a bloody good afternoon. Arrived home in slightly better order than usual.
Friday races were great. Weather was perfect. Punt didn't go great as the favourites kept winning. I think I nabbed 3 out of 7, but at shit prices. Great day on the piss though.
Saturday was even better. Big crowd, weather again to the party. Got there at gates opening to get the same table as Friday. Punt went great. Some good racing. A magic day. Out for dinner that night, in to the wine and whiskey. Took until this morning to recover.
Highlight of the weekend was The Harrovian sweeping the cups. That horse is too good for Cairns. By the time they went past the finishing post the first time the race was over. Cruised home. Threw a bit on it, so was nice not to stress.
Poor old Mulligans just isn't a race horse. Jumped alright, jockey rode her well and put her in a good spot, but when it came to crack on she had nothing. She'll run at Atherton this weekend only because we're paying for the training any way. But then she'll find a new job.

@mariner4life haha love that...she'll find a new job, serving Maccas or something? 🤣

@Hooroo thoughts on RickyBaker today mate? I see took the option of the BM72 later in the card rather than the bm65 race 2 was also accepted for?
Soft track should suit but looks pretty tough little race
We were always targeting this race but then were number 5 on the ballot.
His gallops have been good leading up to this and he is full of himself much to the detriment of my arm which he nearly wrenched out of it's socket!!

Some Do backs up this Friday in Race 1 (5.44pm) at Alex Park - up a bit in grade (now in a R53-70 fillies and mares field, but has drawn well due to the preferential barrier draw system, and can run a place provided she gets a bit of cover.
Didn't pan out for her at all as she had to sit parked for the first 1400m of the 2200m race. She then got pushed out by the eventual winner 400m out so made her run 3-wide.
Yet she was still running on strongly for 2nd in a very quickly run race. We won't get too carried away just yet but she might be pretty good.

Yeah mate I've played a few games so far, basically where I think 5 or more tries.
Got $30 bonus bet and a try scorer in first game, $50BB and try scorer in the Italy game, $35BB and try scorer in Aus game plus also had tuilagi last night but dissapointed that only 4 tries were scored. Wales game should be a fill up tongiht. Am thinking Parks at $2 could be a good option, otherwise there is the obvious North.
Oh and bonus bet conversion is key. Managed $96 from the first $30BB doing a pretty safe multi on heartland and farah palmer games on sat arvo.

YI hear you, I picked the right scorer in the Ireland game so that helped on top of the bonus. Italy Nambia provided a bit bonus bet too.
I hope they do it for the AB's games for rest of Tourny.

Oh sweet!!
Need to get the TAB up for Polly this weekend (Greys only race in New Plymouth)

Also the money back promos have been great this weekend. NRL ones were free $ as neither of the favs were gonna lose, let alone by 10 or more. And then the races.....8 races with money back promos for 2nd to 4th. Played them all at max $30 for 4 winners, 3 money backs and 1 total miss. Usually i have at least 2 to 3 misses which offset most the winnings. Think having them on the first two Sydney and Melbourne races were the big difference.

I agree. Having 8 races on Saturday was excellent. I either collected or money back on 7 of the 8.

Mulligans has been retired

Good call mate. Too expensive to not show anything.
Gutted for you all the same as it's disappointing for a first horse.

Polly Grey off to the Greys only race. First time in Open Class and there are a couple of goodish ones so a good tester.
Back to 1400 as she has been freshened. End goal of this campaign is Matamata Cup, not this race so just want her to run well.
Ricky Baker who is training like Tarzan and running like Jane is being backed up this weekend in New Plymouth too. Expect a better run from him that the previous two
