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 Jan 09 2007

Results of bets on Tue Jan 09 2007
Day280Month10Week2.2Phase06CDay68

OUTCOME: BASIC PLAN +4 (within OVERALL +8)
PROSPECTS (as they seemed yesterday):
Just one short-listed, HIGHLAND GAMES/WON, but rejected. My Majority stat is not special in its favour and, though 3 have Napped it in the Selection Box, it is also opposed there by a Nap. (I avoid confrontations of expert opinion this firm. Naps are by definition chancy in my book, anyway, or they would not be Naps - due to what I call 'the value seeking factor.') It may well win but my Odds stats on it are just not encouraging enough to include it anywhere. Sometimes my stats work against me.
I very nearly short-listed CLOUDMOR/WON but I've 'infiltrated' it in Row 3 in the end on Support and qualified it just for Place Only I on my (50/50ish) Odds stats. (It is about as close to being short-listed without being short-listed as it is possible to get, the way I do things. The difference this makes is simply that less is chanced on it.) 
Aside from the Tips Row, very little risked today. Amounts to a day off, almost.

Another "Laura Luck" day, I would say


Financial Summary E&OE:-

But maybe the tide is turning?). Gain-days in Phase 06C: Jan '07: *9 B/pl (*7 O/a) Dec '06: 16 (11) [-300 O/a] Nov: 19 (15) [-218] *Break-Even days count as Win ones - a ruling I introduced a month or so ago on the basis that "if I haven't lost, I must have won."

1) No Main tip [Bet (nearly always, of late, against advice, as these are win, occasionally EW, tips): Split Small Win/Place Only, to grand total of ? points     OVERALL N/A]
2) Endorsements over jumps (Good words) including my special odds stat for this category of bets at Sedg: SURRICATE/Won (58W57L) - BRIGHT EAGLE/LOST (41W30L - but no bet) CLOUDMOR/Won (58W57L)
Bets: Place Only Am pleased with my decision not to go with Bright Eagle, here, one that came about because it had not made it onto Basic Plan     [OVERALL +2]
3) 653 Phil(USA) STRONG N SILENT F/c 3/1/WON - from yesterday
1230 Keni(RSA) CAMDEN'S CHOICE/WON
