The weather forecast sounds like a " Ripper " Storm warning at 4.30  , 5 Pm . Drink up & get out while you can  :cheers:
lf it rains & blows there will be wet punters everywhere , then the roads will flood , the train/trams will stop . Getting home will be the biggest punt of the day  :cup: :cheers:

I'm not into the horses at all but my girlfriend put a mystery bet on for me at the TAB.  She drew Protectionist! She's very kindly going to shout me lunch tomorrow with my winnings.

for those who backed Admire Radki and haven't read the What's Making News thread yet....the horse ran last as you may know, but back at the stable it died of what they think was a heart attack. Explains now why it performed so poorly in the race i guess.

Turned out to be an exciting race but a very sad day with the loss of 2 horses . l would hate to be the Japanise guy that goes home to the connections without a horse .
