    Insider reacted to say no more in Fabulous Fours comp - Week 10 entry thread   
    Hey Steveo, I've asked before and I'll ask again, can you please enter your picks in numerical order eg.  5,9 not 9,5
    The quinella formulas in my spreadsheet require me to input your picks in numerical order and much easier to pick them up if you list them that way.
    Thanks

    and some form of punctuation between picks also makes it a lot easier to read and input
    must be a night for it    
    I shouldn't be grumpy - the Canes won and the Warriors won, but it's really not that hard

    It might be as simple as their new app might not have it built in and for the interest in little old NZ it probably wasn't worth the cost.
    Just guessing.

    Watch it Peter. Once you start debating with Leggy you start to go crazy. That’s why I have had to put a self imposed ban on myself from debating with him for 7 days.
     Be careful is all I can say!

    Insider reacted to MissJools in Come fly with Dee   
    Group 1 winning hoop Michael Dee has taken things to new heights – quite literally – by recently becoming a licensed private helicopter pilot.
     
    By and large, traditionally many of them like to take to the golf course or fishing, some even take their fitness to the next level and run triathlons. Campbell Rawiller trains greyhounds, Ben Allen is a DJ and Remi Tremsal is a salted-caramel chef - these are just some that come to the top of mind.
    But Group 1 winning hoop Michael Dee has taken things to new heights – quite literally – by recently becoming a licensed private helicopter pilot.
    “I try to play golf but maybe it wasn’t a big enough adrenaline rush for me,” Dee confessed.
    “I was always quite fascinated with how helicopters operated and thought I’d give it a go.
    “I’m always looking and have the flight app and the radar and if I see a plane go over or helicopter I have a look and see what it is.
    “It’s a little bit nerdy!”
    After completing up to 80-hours of supervised flying, post the spring carnival Dee successfully conducted a navigation course with an examiner and sat 3.5-hour theory exam to gain a license of a different kind.
     
    “I am probably more comfortable on a horse at this stage,” Dee admitted.
    “They are two very different things… a helicopter you have more control over but it depends if it was a real rogue of a horse.
    “I had my first time flying to the races the other day and my heart was pumping flying there and then you get on the horse and your heart is pumping again.
    “I think because I am at my early stages of flying I am really thinking about it and not as relaxed as I should be as opposed to on a horse, so that will come in time.”
    While the hobby’s of jockeys may well be varied, some thought Dee’s new-found pursuit was even farfetched or not believable.
    That was until he arrived at Bendigo races recently in his very own chopper landing in the middle of the racecourse with Jye McNeil onboard as passenger.
    “I don’t think anyone really believed it for a really long time until they saw it with their own eyes,” Dee said.
    “There’s no shortage (of passengers) but when it comes to pricing and what jockeys have to pay they shy away from the idea!
    “The original idea was to fly to country meetings and more or less have a bit of fun.”
    While Dee has no ambitions to fly commercial planes when his time in the saddle comes to an end, he does admit the license comes with its advantages.
    “When you’re in the air and you see there is a lot of traffic especially over the Wast Gate or the Bolte Bridge or the Monash. you look down and just laugh inside,” he said.
    “I am just hiring a local helicopter at the moment but maybe if I win a big race potentially that’s an idea (buying a helicopter).
    “But I have to earn some more money first!”

    I am currently half way through my self imposed "no response to anything that Leggy posts"  but maybe I can call on all his wisdom and data to tell us what the "draws" are saying after the half a dozen meetings run on the new track at Ellerslie.

    Well it's a pretty solid measuring stick I would have thought , OPB on 1 in 4 , Kennedy and McNab , 1st and 2nd on the premiership , both under 1 in 6 , fairly obvious correlation I think .
    And please don't suggest those numbers are because they get on the best horses , they get on the best horses because they get the job done .
    Please tell me how you assess a jockeys ability .
