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 20 2007

Results of bets on Sat Jan 20 2007
Day291Month10Week3.6Phase06CDay79

OUTCOME: Need not have worried (but 'a Laura Luck day' it was)     BASIC PLAN -5 (within OVERALL +12)
PROSPECTS (as they seemed yesterday):
Despite the number of meetings, I found only one qualifier for my short-list: MY WAY DE SOLZEN/WON (Row 1). My stats are encouraging for the win across the board but one of my two Odds stats could be better for maximum confidence. No margin for error today except that I shall not be risking a Star bet on it.
If My Way de S. does not win, I shall incur a deficit on the day (unless the outcomes of the bets on the main tip more than compensate). Today is, in my view, "a Laura Luck day." Period. In fact, I incurred a deficit on Basic Plan through the disappointing results on other bets and was bailed out Overall by the subscription tip's win which did "more than compensate.".

Financial Summary E&OE:-

Tips
1) Main tip to hand is MALETTON/WON F/c 5/2 350 Winc
Bet (against advice, as this is a Win tip): Split Small Win/mainly Place Only, to grand total of 16 points (for a 'small' field as there are non-runners)     [OVERALL +17]
2) Endorsements over obstacles (Good words), including my dedicated stat for this bet category, at Hayd: MY WAY DE SOLZEN/Won (50W50L) - Winc: No selection but I added MANDINGO CHIEF/2ND (10W8L) 'in running' because I liked the look of the 8.2/1 price to win. Nearly did win. Good run.
Bets: Small Win     [OVERALL -1]
3) Other tip/s: Discontinued except occasionally @ tiny stakes. (I did a belated AMD check the other day - Alphabetical Monitoring Device ( see below) - which showed its record had deteriorated to "ZZT," too far in deficit to justify persevering with at other than negligible risk.
Added taking a chance: 952 Gulf(USA) SUSIES GAL/LOST F/c 10/1
Bet: Tiny win     [OVERALL EVEN (-0.05)]
