No more calls from TB but is still on Tuesdays with Terry  [Had to write something ]

Has TB resigned? Thank God! The last year or so I've literally had to turn off the volume and follow the horses' colours myself. Good on him if he realized he was past it. I can't imagine him agreeing to be sent to the paddock.

What a total sh*t show the TAB is, with no fixed odds yet up for Wangaratta tomorrow.

And will likely have a number of all ups after final scratchings, ie:  R2 No 5 up R4 No 10 R2 No 5 all up R4 No 10 all up R8 No 2. R2 No 5 all up R8 No 2 R4 No 10 all up R8 no 2. May the force be with me.

Tri and FF Beaufine Stakes Pinjarra just for an interest: 7,10,11,13 all ways.

See what you mean TJ, bit quiet on it wasn't he!

Dunno where to put this but have you all seen there has been a hendra death in southern Queensland in the last few days ?

Yep - can't believe Septimus was Melbourne Cup favourite at one stage. 

Saturday’s Victorian provincial race meeting has been transferred to Warracknabeal.

A track inspection conducted by Racing Victoria stewards on Friday afternoon found the Donald surface to be unsuitable for the meeting to go ahead with more rain forecast.

Racing Victoria subsequently made the call to transfer the nine-race card from Donald to Warracknabeal.

The Warracknabeal track is rated a Heavy 8 and some distance amendments have been made.

Except for Milos' ride in Race 2.

M8 am on at $4.80/1.70.  

Ticket into the Big Dance.

Stuff it, beaten in the last stride in the final leg when landing the quad seemed likely.    Series of 8 e/w bets just for an interest returned two winners, three 2nds and a 3rd.
