The Sunday 11th phase of BigFooty's maintenance and upgrade has been completed. Reactions are limited for now. Search is rebuilding. Scheduled Posts are back! Other upgraded features may look/operate slightly different. The styling and colours will change over time.
Regulars on Nick's Page will know that the great Joffa tipped Diatribe to anyone who would listen yesterday.
I didn't back it myself because I don't bet any more. But good luck to those who did.
But Mags. If you really think punting is an easy way to make a living I might have to have a quiet word with you. Believe me, many have tried ... and very, very few have succeeded.
But while on the subject of racing, Australia's greatest horse race will be run next week at Moonee Valley. At this stage the Cox Plate is shaping up as a battle between Collingwood and the All-Blacks.
The local champ, Sky Heights, owned by Collingwood Football Club board member, Jack Kennedy, takes on one of the greatest race-mares ever to look through a bridle, the New Zealander, Sunline.
Dr.Kennedy's horse is in superb form, having won brilliantly at Caulfield last start. But Sunline is an absolute champion who won last year's Cox Plate brilliantly. It promises to be a great battle.
I backed Diatribe myself, infact it was the only win I had for the day. Had been watching it over the past few weeks and had noticed it had been running on well in the latter stages of shorter distance races.
Don't disregard it for the Cox Plate on Sat. It has pulled up very well from all reports.
Just a pity "Pumper" isn't riding him again this week.
yeah sandie i got on, now mags im pretty sure it payed $5.80
i also backed the winner in the 5th Crystal Finale
it payed about 11 bucks, so i had a good day
sandie i backed a horse named van der haar on weds, purely for the name, it ran 4th
Hard luck story?
Was helping a mate shift house on Saturday, we called into the pub for him to put his quaddy on.... offered me a 1/2 share in it, he had multiple legs and the cost for a $1 quaddie was about $80.... having just come back from holidays and blown the budget, I had to knock him back.
Well as you can guess, we spent the day shifting, knocking back tinnies and listening to his first 3 legs come in. He was a bit worried having only 2 in the last leg, Miss Pennymoney and Camena (who he knew nothing about, but a bloke at work tipped it). Wasn't feeling too good when Miss P was scratched at the gate.... 5 minutes later..you know the rest. He picked up a cool $2800 odd and me...well at least he shouted me grog for the night!
