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 31 2006

Results of bets on Tue Oct 31 2006
Day212Month7Week4.7+3 (Phase 06B Day92)


HEADLINE:     Phase 06B ends on a gain day
OUTCOME:     OVERALL +24 points (including BASIC PLAN +6)
PROSPECTS (as they seemed last night)
There is no duplication of selections amongst my preferred 8 tipsters in the RP Naps Table, and only one has selected one of my 3 qualifiers. Signs, again, of a potentially "trappy" day, I would say. I could be wrong.
My strongest main short-listed candidates are DENMAN/WON ("medium strong") and FILIOS/WON ("very strong"). Initially, I put these into Row 1 but, cautiously, have since relegated them to Row 2. They should win, I feel.
The 3rd qualifier is WORLD SPIRIT/NON RUN (just "medium" - with my "Majority stat" rating its chance for the win as less than 50/50: 60W84L). A solid additional negative is that it is opposed by 2 Napped runners [Bahamian Love of these won] which is too worrying to ignore. Though I think "Place Only II" is about right for it, I've found that the preponderance of opinion reflected in the RP Selection Box, based as it is on the majority view on a horse's form-in-the-book chance, is worth standing by in spite of strong tipster (and *sometimes even market) opposition. [*Trinculo's win as 2nd Fav showed this point in action.] World Sprit's overall majority is 8 over the next most popular selection in its race. In anybody's language, that has to be respected as strong support, even though the historical record of this majority figure shows more losers than winners as quoted above. We'll see.
