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 Oct 9 2006

Results of bets on Mon Oct 9 2006
Day190Month7Week2.2 (Phase 06B Day70)


PROSPECTS
My main short-list of one, TEBLADORA/3RD (Row 3), enjoys stats suggestive that the chance of the win is better than 50/50 - but contradicted by one stat. Including this qualifier, it looks to me to be another "Laura Luck" day.
The selections in the Fancies Row might work out if quite good stats I have are born out. I have rejected them from the Place Only and Naps II Rows, even so, due to some negatives that disqualify them in my book. I shall be interested in how these Trebles work out. 1W2PL2L
Aside from any investment on a major tip, I'll not be holding my breath today. Little is at stake.

Today: No.1 VALENTINE AVENUE F/c 9/2 907 Laur(USA/Late result - see tomorrow
Bets: Tiny win     [OVERALL EVEN (-0.39)]
Major Lay tip to hand is FASHION STATEMENT/HRS WON 405 Wind. This runner is nominated by Newmarket, Robin Goodfellow and Templegate as likely to win. Good enough for me. No bet. Correct decision this time. (I have sent an email to this tipster advising him and his team not to tip Newmarket selections to lay. I'm fed up getting these!)
No major Win tip to hand today
Good words to hand so far on GO FIGURE/FORROGER (Wind./BOTH LOST
Bet: Tiny wins     [OVERALL EVEN (-0.20)]
