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 25 2006

Results of bets on Wed Oct 25 2006
Day206Month7Week4.4 (Phase 06B Day86)

OUTCOME: Pleased to have made a small Basic Plan profit    OVERALL -5 points (including BASIC PLAN +5)
PREDICTED PROSPECTS
One weak "consensus fav" (ARMARIVER/3RD) in my main short-list. My stats are un-encouraging, though, so I've located it in "Place Only I." Correct decision. Otherwise, the day looks 'trappy' to me - another "Laura Luck" day, despite the fair number of F/c short priced favourites on offer potentially. I am hoping I have selected enough successful ones from these in my "Fancies" Row. If it turns out I have, then that Row should do disproportionally well from a tiny stake. Only 1 winner. Didn't work out, partly unluckily
Very little at risk (aside from the Lay tip bet, relatively).

Tips
SURPRISE INSIDE F/c 4/1 854 Dela(USA/LOST - from yesterday (the bad run continues, discouragingly)
No.2 POOLETTA F/c 3/1 915 Keen(USA/Late result - see tomorrow
Bets: Tiny win     [OVERALL -1]
Major Lay tip to hand is DARK THUNDER/2ND F/c 3/1 225 Sedg.
Seems fair enough. Unfortunately a (fancied) non-runner makes the chance less of it losing the race. Fingers crossed. The fates conspired to help it win and still it didnt. Good selection! 
Bet: Target liability = 13 points     [OVERALL +4]
No Major Win tip     [OVERALL N/A]
No good word(s) today     [OVERALL N/A]
