I am being a bit sneaky as this is about the horse race. Here is the omen bet.

Verry Elleegant. Colours red and blue and ridden by James McDonald. Don't say I did not tell you.

    I never usually bet on the cup but did because of the colours and our ex captain was the jockey which I have never heard of an ex afl player doing before. he must of lost heaps of weight. Anyway thanks everyone I had 25 each way on the red n blue. What a good thing that was.

    Good day for Pennant, backed the winner and had 2, 3, 4 & 24 in a box trifecta.

    2021 has been very kind

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
