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 26 2007

Bets on Sat 26 May 2007
OUTCOME: BASIC PLAN: -78 (Write-off calculation pending) [within OVERALL -114]
PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night):
Little research done. Short-list of 1 emerged: FOXY MUSIC/LOST (Row 2). My stats are encouraging across the board - but it is opposed by The Times (2ND), often a good odd-one-out judge.
So Row 2 is fair enough, I feel. Even so, a cluster of bets is involved that I have had to cap. If the cluster fail between them (only 2 Places are available for the Mop Ups) I may close shop on further bets for the day (something I've not done before). Didn't stop; but it got no better. Mixed day, mainly disappointing.

Summary Day 056 C/F to May 27 (Month02Wk4.6Phase07ADay57) E&OE - BASIC PLAN Phase 07At (wef 01/04/07) Deficit = -621 ... within OVERALL Deficit -873 @ ave. of -c16/day O/A; 13 Overall win-days so far in May;14 in April, mainly small - a disappointing start to the financial year, but the deficit is (sic. was) being chipped away slowly. My best efforts are beginning to look distinctly inglorious, I fear.

Combo I (Press Corps) bets: Xtra Combo (Significant Win bet today + Mop Up). No 123 Combo. No "Diminished" Total Combo today (i.e., Row 3 + Naps II)     BASIC PLAN -26
