CT"s 310 Report post Posted September 16, 2017 2 hours ago, Midget said: Isn't he marvellous though ? just an absolute gem. Seventy years old. 27 million column inches written, 238,461 lies told, he's at his desk seven days a week ( when he's not on the turps ), and he can still take the shorts every week but never trouble the score keeper. No wonder the NZRB gave him a job earlier in the year. Do you think CT / Tommo could be Dillo's love child ? They seem to have an identical skill set What about Ernie short stuff? Fancy picking the best 2 year old colt in the country last week and the best 3 year old filly in the country this week? Clearly he was on a suicide mission!

That fact that you've responded to my post indicates that you're interested otherwise why would you have responded? And I didn't have any losing tickets yesterday Leigh so no losing tickets to post.

I'm just someone who enjoys thoroughbred racing who likes to contribute in a public forum which is what this is designed for Leigh. Ernie mentioned he won the first 4 yesterday in this thread also but no mention of him skiting? Why the inconsistency? I'm happy that Ernie won the first 4 which is why I liked his post. Why can't you be happy for the punters to get a win? I'm sure there are a lot of people interested in what I choose to bet on which is the reason why the internet traffic increases when I post.

Why are you always such a blistered penis, just stop being a tosser and blend in instead of being a scabby knob end. I note you boasted prior that you'd be having a "business class airfare" on that thing you backed. Turns out you had a poxy $400 on it. Were you flying from Hokitika to Greymouth ?

I wouldn't be surprised if they retired the great mare after the race so might be the last chance you get to see her race. Looking forward to it.

There's no other course like it where you can get so close to the horses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caulfield very different. He will have to be out and closer on the turn. Explosive turn of foot though.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive! Olly reckons he's going better than last year! In his favour is that he's had the "Royal Lloyd Williams treatment" with very few starts and only one race in mind. With them changing the rules recently though regarding rehandicapping for the Caulfield Cup winners Lloyd might be wanting to squeeze another Cup out of him before the main event. Murray will be hoping not! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget 4,489 Report post Posted September 18, 2017 Ok, update after Saturday. Notes to consider. If you didn't post I took 40 points off you. Any non posters from this week are automatically eliminated. I've reconciled those who laid two horses, Winx being one, and she cost you 40 points and a life. Please correct my many mistakes for me, politely. There'll be plenty, I can't even remember who's lost a life now. Can someone with more spare time than me advise who's get two lives left and who's got one ( don't forget Amanoodlad was instant elimination ) From Saturday week, that's the last Saturday in September the " mercy clause" will kick in and anyone more than 200 points behind the leader will be automatically eliminated. I'm going to do another similar comp over Melbourne and CHCH cup weeks, a shorty over two weeks called ' King Of The Spring ', with a slightly smaller prize, so you'll get another chance to have fun soon enough. D. Burrow 334.8 ( sensational change in strategy here, this poster used to play the game like a girl, now he's got balls !!! ) Turny 318.1 ( did you play your joker mate ? I can't find a record of it ) Premixer 276.9 Scooby 244.2 Taaxi 241.4 Tasman Man 237.6 ( make that a triple cheeseburger combo with large fries ) Insider 237.44 ( playing like a pussy after a bold start, I knew it wouldn't last ).
