Turffontein, Sunday 22 August

f****ck that was HARD WORK.

Now DOUBLE MARTINI...to close a decent 30/ 1 Grant Double

Congrats Elvis.

thanks....never had a cent on....never went to course :sick: :sick: blew a lot of people out if P6.

Hi Elvis I am no after race merchant and was really disappointed with the early Tarry runner.

We have Humble Tune and thought Golden Tune which I now notice also a Noble Tune owned by you.

Just looking at names I thought at 66/1 must put in my pick 6 but did not play

I notice David the trainer and Craig who maybe did not give Humble the best ride last time.
I then notice it's now 20/1 so must be worth a hundred ew.

So paid for my losses and well done on a winner 🏆

Hewitson not riding today, atleast grant van Niekerk takes his rides.
One just has to hope that fisher king who is having second run after a rest is fit and not having a under done prep run for another race.

I understand your concern but I gather Fisher could be special and has been steadily punted from 15/10 to 5/10 in the last couple of days.🤞

This is what im trying to say, the most obvious horse is the first beat. This horse when was 5/10 interbet had 9/10.This morning when was 7/10 a bookmaker still had 1/1 money. Race time a friend from uk said betfair you could get 11/10. Under done or a issue but someone knew. This happens alot these days.Probably will win a graded race next time, but today they got the money.
The tote where i go to is getting less and less of my racing crowd. I really dont know, two people heard about the winner in the last that had turned a corner and far fitter than the last few races but i chose to ignore, the coup was landed. Since lockdown last year racing has changed to such a extent that i dont know who to trust anymore.
I have played horses since i was a teenager and it has been my life 7 days a week, but i have been starting to ignore some days as a start which is something i never thought was possible.

Cheers Batman not an easy game and certainly not for sissies.

Good Punting

having been sick for this game from a young age , I can honestly say that racing interests me less and less as days goes by

I think my first bet was a punt on the dogs when I was about 13 on behalf of my Nana , so 57 later still trying to work out the perfect formula.

Batman I played Yankees around Grant v.n. yesterday.. had a nice winning bet on IMMEASURABLE BUT unfortunately did not include my own in the last in YANKEES.... could have made a cool packet yesterday.

In hindsight.... it's common knowledge that Golden Tune is normally a FRONT RUNNER.... that's how he won his 1st start...... could it be he was given a SOFT LEAD by the other jocks ???? & then he got away from them 250 from home........ I don't really know , just speculating....... just wish I had got some of the action.

After winning a decent amount on IMMEASURABLE - I SHOULD HAVE taken an e/way on G.T..... but unfortunately did not :evil: :evil: :evil:

CRAZY game this Dave........... I backed your HUMBLE TUNE last week & was NOT happy with the ride given by Craig............... YET U BACKED my horse. !!

Elvis we must ALWAYS have a wee punt on our horses at any price , considering what it costs to keep them 😉
