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 Mar 12 2007

Bets on Mon Mar 12 2007 
OUTCOME: BASIC PLAN +49 pts (within OVERALL: +55)
PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night):
I found today's research tricky, potentially trappy. There proved a host of near-qualifiers for my short-list but, applying my criteria strictly, I ended up qualifying just one: HI DANCER/WON (Row 2). My stats are encouraging across the board on it (not that this guarantees anything) but its race is a Claimer, hence Row 2 rather than 1. A couple that I may regret having failed to qualify are NOBLE BILY/WON & VENICE ROAD/WON, though I fitted them in by the back door (by, respectively, infiltration into Row 3 & selection in Naps II).
Days like today can work out absolutely brilliantly ... or you can end up with a row of near misses ... or, more likely, something undistinguished in between. However, in favour of the first example, I can say that my short-list of eight Naps Table tipsters have Napped most of my near-qualifiers, which is often a good sign. I shall benefit from this coincidence only via the Xtra Combo, if my luck is in.
Could prove an interesting day ... but I'm not holding my breath.
