    I once only had 1 point after 11 weeks but ended up having the 3rd most points by seasons end From memory a couple went 10 weeks without scoring points and both had won the comp the previous year (the winners curse?)

  3. And I'm not working Tuesday when I thought I might have been! With this weather we're likely to see some highly fancied runners flounder with at least a few roughies or value runners saluting Had a few win bets but my plan is wide exacta's with an accent on value I like 'Jacquinot' in the Coolmore, 'Yearning' each way in the Empire Rose and I'm sticking with Mr Maestro in the Derby (despite the wide barrier)

    @DeeSpencer@DemonDave@Go the Biff Tips! As for SNF & MNF this week, better scheduling could have seen the Chiefs @ 49ers & maybe the Jets @ Denver (or the Giants @ the Jags) The 2 scheduled games might be close at least although the home teams are heavily favoured in both games

    Bucs, Chiefs, Jets
  7. Always the way I had a good day with the Anamoe collect (courtesy of Rupert/Betr) but got real lucky on an exacta payout where I typed in the wrong/right number for 2nd Wonders will never cease but I'll take the 4 Avacado's!! (8 pineapples) ... I messaged out to the various acquaintances and a mate came back with a 2k payout story when he thought he'd only won 200 ... typed in 100 instead of 10 on the layout and didn't realise (Singapore, months ago) You need luck in this game, Gorg Derby Day next Sat ... can't wait!! But in the meantime, Sale Cup tomorrow and the Bendigo Cup ($500k) Wednesday ... exotics? Good money for the bush!
  8. Been working all day but kept tabs Anamoe is a gun and Bella must have been good (by the call) Thunder could do well overseas as well as Anamoe. But with the money on offer here it's more about prestige if travelling Replays on the agenda tonight as I recorded the whole ch7 coverage!!
  9. Yes, good luck to all! Had a saver on El Bodegon (just in case) ... the 3yo colt has been racing well against elite company in Europe and is the real danger in the race Anamoe is in the right gate though and is the one to beat, DZ Best of Bordeaux tonight is a real chance as is Coolangatta (drawn perfectly again) Eleven Eleven & Roch 'N' Horse can both run bold races as well (at the odds)
  10. Haven't looked much! haha Horse racing is front & centre for me ... daylight to my next sporting interest!
  11. @Dee Zephyr@Mr Steve@Gorgoroth Big 2 days at the Valley! Who do you fancy in the Manikato & Cox Plate? Exotic for me in the sprint and I'm on at 20-1 with Anamoe in the Plate. Maybe a trifecta in that race as well

    Unsportsman conduct, taunting, 15 yard penalty, 1st down Why do they do it?

    Well, at least in the Southern Hemisphere!
  16. You're a legend picket, there's no doubt about it! The point I'm making is that losses are always more of a talking point than wins ... unless it's a GF win. And we can all sound off when it suits I don't see Olisik as being any different to hundreds of others here But he doesn't find fault when we win that's why we don't see him here when we win ... however, there are many here who do find fault when we win
  17. To be fair, Olisik was one of the first here to identify Clayton Oliver as a top prospect (before he was even heard of) If not the first I remember him sticking his neck out and not long after, the chat about Oliver heightened It's true he's more visible when the team doesn't do well but that reasoning can apply to a stack of others as well. His harshest critics can often be just as miserable

    Don't forget your tips @DemonDave@DeeSpencer Some good match ups tomorrow. Highlight games include 4.00am - Vikings @ Miami, Ravens @ Giants 7.25am - Bills @ KC 11.20am - Dallas @ Eagles All our teams can win tomorrow (apart from the Bears losing on Friday) and the Jets are playing well enough to push Green Bay

  20. Michael 'Dee' ... there was the omen!
  21. Durston only got into the Caulfield Cup field today but will now probably be 3rd or 4th favourite for the Melb Cup! Was 51.5kgs but might carry 54kgs after a penalty? Impressive win all the same and strong at the finish of a mile and a half Deauville Legend & Loft are the 2 though with their overseas form
  22. We're going to see a lot of Giga Kick as it's a 3yo gelding The Coolmore? Rotal Ascot? The TJ Smith? Sky is the limit and it's unbeaten Commanding performance and it had been running some very slick times in 1100m races ... so the form was there Ended up getting the quinella x 150% so here's your virtual 🍺 @Mr Steve
  23. Asfoora looks a horse ... won the Caulfield Sprint like it was a track gallop! Really unlucky in it's previous race at the Valley. A definite Blackbooker
  24. Oh, thanks Got it ... and with the 25 I've put an exotic bet on the Everest Whilst I reckon Nature Strip will probably win (from barrier 12) the exotics can pay well if it doesn't win If I win big I'll buy you a virtual beer!!
  25. No, not for me They do offer matched deposits sometimes (50%) but only when I don't have a winning weekend!!
