The Totopoly Kid I have come to punting very late in life - in retirement, in fact. But I was not new to racing when I did, for as a boy my favourite board-game was Totopoly and, in Australia at the time, I was taken a few times to magical Randwick, the Sydney racetrack.

Diary for Sep 21 2006

Results of bets on Thu Sep 21 2006
Day172Month6Week3.7 (Phase 06B Day52)


PROSPECTS
My stats are encouraging of the win on GLINGERBANK/Won & LORD JAYJAY/Won, so I have taken a chance with Star bets on these as well as the significant Basic ones. It will hurt if either fails, more especially the latter. The Place Only bet on Lord Jayjay (Betfair) has computed to quite a significant size. Thus it will be extra painful if it fails to Place. [Alas, only half the stake got matched.] The rest of the bets are modest in size [except for the subscription tip on CAPANNINA/LOST].

PROSPECTS
My stats are encouraging of the win on GLINGERBANK/Won & LORD JAYJAY/Won, so I have taken a chance with Star bets on these as well as the (non-token) Basic ones. It will hurt if either fails, more especially the latter. The Place Only bet on Lord Jayjay (Betfair) has computed to quite a significant size. [Half of the Place Only bet failed to be matched - due to my error: I forgot it was waiting for one!] Thus it will be extra painful if it fails to Place. The rest of the bets are modest in size [...except for the main tip: which lost and undermined the day almost to the penny.]
However, the difference between a tiny loss and a bit of a profit was my error over the unmatched bet. Oops.
OVERALL
-1 POINTS (including BASIC PLAN +42 POINTS)
