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 May 03 2007

Bets on Thu 03 May 2007
OUTCOME: BASIC PLAN: +26 pts [within OVERALL -3 ]
PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night):
A lot of racing and I am not at all sure I have made the best of decisions. Based on my stats, my short-list is: HYPNOSOS/WON (Row 1), ARMARIVER/2ND & KINGKOHLER/2ND (Row 2).
I found a host of peripheral opportunities but I've no idea how the day will go. However, I am dependent mostly on DAN TUCKET & ARMARIVER To Place. I shall be all right, I think, if they do as elsewhere I don't have much risked other than collectively. It's depressing to have done this well on the peripherals and yet have ended up with a small deficit on the day.

Summary Day 033 C/F to May 04 (Month02Wk1.2Phase07ADay34) E&OE - BASIC PLAN Phase 07A (wef 01/04/07) Deficit = -593 ... within OVERALL Deficit -786 @ ave. of -c24/day O/A; 01 Overall win-day in May;14 Overall win-days in April, mainly small - a disappointing month.
