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.

Bets on Au 25 2007

OUTCOME:  BASIC PLAN: +3 [OVERALL +4]
PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night): Short-list of 1: SENSE OF JOY/WON (Place Only I). My odds stats are only 50/50 for the win, with my Majority stat only a little better.
It seems a day more difficult in general than, at first glance, one might suppose. I've a feeling it could be sprinkled with surprises/disappointments, so I've rejected a number of fancied runners (due to negatives in my stats), over-cautiously, perhaps. Few peripherals found, in consequence. I'll be betting lightly today.

Summary Day 145 (wef 01/04/07) C/f to Aug 26 (Month05Wk4.4Day146Phase07BDay56) - BASIC PLAN Phase 07B (begun 01/July/07) Surplus = +48 (within BASIC PLAN deficit of -694 (wef 01/Jan/06), of which -456* is within just 2007's OVERALL deficit of -985 ... to which I've reinstated (added) -5554 Overall for all of 2005 (Jan-Dec), and -11022 likewise for all of 2006 = **Provisional pre-Write-Off global figure = OVERALL deficit of -17562 pts (Ave. of -c2/day* for Basic Plan over 236 days since 01/01/07); 13 x Basic Plan Win days in Aug so far, 16 in July, 17 in June, 15 in May;14 in April, mainly small - a disappointing 1st quarter this financial year, but the Overall deficit is currently being chipped away E&OE.
