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 Nov 02 2006

Results of bets on Thu Nov 02 2006
Day214Month08Week1.2 (Phase 06C Day02)


HEADLINE:     A small, but pleasing, profit on Basic Plan
OUTCOME:     OVERALL +0 points (including BASIC PLAN +10)
PROSPECTS (as they seemed last night)
There is some duplication of selections amongst my preferred 8 tipsters in the RP Naps Table - a good sign - but none of my main short-list of 3 is nominated - not such a good sign. I have located ABRAGANTE/WON in "Row 3," BAY ISLAND/WON & APOLLO LADY/LOST in "Place Only I." My stats are not encouraging especially. I shall be well pleased with the tiniest gain if I am lucky enough to get one.
I found it a tricky and fiddly exercise tonight, going through the information, and I ended up with rock bottom minimum stakes on a fairly small (but select?) bunch of hopefuls. I found no major bet to place.
Sometimes days like this turn out absorbing and quite enjoyable, all the better perhaps for their lack of involvement in much risk. Multiples can throw up the occasional pleasant surprise if luck is in. This is what I shall be hoping for, aside from the success of any major tip that happens to come in.
