 Actually, I more often frequented The Royal, where I sat with my buddies John Kelly and Ashley ? 

I thought you were a Gai fan JJ

And barbers at my local. Put the sign up "Back in 10" and at the TAB all day.

And who is the best jockey? I would have to switch to the Coach and Horses just for sanity.  By the way...the answers were John Size and JMac...which we duly parroted time after time...  You could never change his mind...

Was JMac born then?

Too complicated for me, Bob, I'll admit. Well it probably isn't but I don't like to think with a Maths brain about horse racing that much. Reminds me of Asians betting on pokies.

Can I ask, did you ever love horse racing? I know you had a system that worked for you before others caught on, but on the sentimental/ hobby level did you like particular races/ horses/ trainers/ breeds etc? It sounds like it was all Maths to you, which is a bit dull. Don't mean to be a nark, just genuinely asking.

Of course I did when I had big wins, I had my best day ever at Echuca races and I have asked my wife to spread some of my ashes there when I meet my maker.

geez how many on course bookies at Echuca ?

Bit hard to share any bets as I bet in the last 2 minutes before a race start, taking advantage of the latest possible  bookies' odds. Prior to betting on a race I have only a rough idea on what horses I will place my bets, just as it was the days of the commission rooms for high value punters back in the 1980s and 1990s.

How do you know you're getting unders/overs without a bookie to compare odds to tote ?

You ever see those english greyhounds late at night, sometimes there's no money in the pools at all quite often just 3 dogs will have bets on them and the actual fav could be running around without a bet on it on the tote.
