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 10 2006

Results of bets on Tue Oct 10 2006
Day191Month7Week2.3 (Phase 06B Day71)


PROSPECTS
My main short-list of five enjoy stats in my records that suggest their chances of the win is within a range just short of 50/50 to rather better - but contradicted by a stat or other negative in each case. This could be a day of near misses by even strong "concensus favourites." So I have located 4 in "Row 3" and 1 in "Place Only I."
Aside from any investment on a major tip, as per yesterday, I'll not be holding my breath. Little enough is at stake per bet, but collectively I feel vulnerable. Gains may not outstrip losses.
OUTCOME: The sad demise of Royal Proposal spoiled what was otherwise a resonable result     OVERALL +16 points (including BASIC PLAN +12)

Tips
ANGAPANGA F/c 3/1 827 Dela(USA/Late result - see tomorrow
STRIKE UP THE BAND Currently 14/1 Durb(RSA/LOST
Bets: Tiny win     [OVERALL EVEN (-0.10)]
Major Lay tip to hand is CORNFLOWER/HRS LOST 140 Newc. This runner is nominated by Newmarket as the likely winner. Likelier to lose, I think, but still, no bet. (I notified this tipster and his team of my view that Newmarket win selections are often to be avoided as lay tips. They are not going to change their selections policy, he replied respectfully. Well, I'm not changing mine either. No bet. But I expect my policy to be wrong, today.) No regrets
No major Win tip today
Good word to hand so far on DIUM MAC/WON (Newc.)
Bet: Tiny win     [OVERALL +1]
