Cheers Hesi - a tough match today. Yes, it appears our marvelous Captain Cubes indeed suffered a rare 'wardrobe malfunction' today, but at 11/2 we've resolved to never mention it outside the dressing room again. I shudder to think what this will mean for his hapless opponent next week.... Well done Thunderbirds! How's that Heather aye???!!! 8 winners!!

Anchor In, a colt by Sea Anchor out of a Ruling mare Cazna won the Castlemaine back in 82 or 83 from memory. May have only been a G2 then. He was real top horse and Sea Anchor's first Stakeswinner. He was a certainty beaten in the Ellerslie Sires Produce behind Andretti just prior to going over for the Castlemaine...

Awesome job Thunderbirds! Well done. Thanks for carrying me today; I'm so sorry my contribution was so measly - from Man of the Match last week to Worst Score Table today... Well done Betty - too good for me today.

PHEW!!!!

PJ - much as it pains me to point out, I believe Betty has again picked the winner and I have picked 2nd in the 5th at Ipswich....

Surely the most aptly named horse currently going around!!! [ Ruakaka R8. ]

Three 2nds in a row - and the last two my sub was the winner!! Classic case of 'close - but no cigar!'

Sacred Elixir - like Benzini, - money for jam If only it was always that easy!!!
