Well done yesty HK.

Was satisfied with my form study, generally in good areas although I was against Miss Brixton and it got up. Then again, the market was against it too, so I don't feel so bad about that.

Brown Ben, well it carried different form lines in to a few but Calvin was right about it, stiff last year, stiff the year before. Glad HK found it.

Track played superbly well, weather was excellent. Hopefully the club can rebuild the crowd

I then went to back 10,11 & 12 for the exacta in the 4th at Bathurst and some f***** peanut was f***** around at the tab with his $2 keno and then when I went to put my ticket in he bumped into me, so I went to go around him and he bumped into me again then the race started, 12 won @ 17.60, 10 came 2nd, exacta paid $130.

Fair to say I was pissed off.

Evolve mate :lol:

I have, I find the app closes off way before start time though, I also feel the need to screw the ticket up and aim for the bin when I lose.

I lost a bet last week on my phone, I had to borrow someone else's losing ticket to screw up and throw. :lol:

Should make a feature that allows you to tear up a bet in the app. Haha

Not if you followed HK's tips.

Na, it was ok, but when I first went in 2011, it was 10K +, last few years it's been more like 4-5k.

I didn't see anything promoting the day whereas I used to see a lot a few years ago.

Then it becomes a "city" meet and loses it's title as the biggest country meet in SA.

Yeah, "metro" meet it would be.

The only other date the club was keen on as an alternative was Geelong Cup day.

Yep, exposure was limited due to the Tiser not doing it's annual Cup preview, and the club's social media presence is VERY average.

Some years ago at Morphetville a lady was in front of the line trying to have a quinella in AR8 as they were going into the gates for R4. The conversation was heading east with '' which horse has to win? can they finish in any order? what does a unit cost'' & more. The bloke behind her gently lifted her by the elbows & placed her to the side to get on. I don't high five but this was an exception.

My seat at the Reepham is the closest to the tab console, I take Melbourne Cup day off each year and head there, the amount of people that have no idea is quite funny, I have an array of slips with me and fill out the tickets for them to save any fights in the line up.

The bar staff throw a few beers my way too so there's wins all round.

It should be a paid position really. Just for the day.

Used to do the same at the Caledonian before they turned it into a blonde wood & stainless steel wine club for retired baristas.
Part that shit me was the 100 deep line up at the console 1 second past the post with office staff clutching their 50c e/w ticket they had on the third placegetter while I was trying to get on the next at Brisbane.

I’ve been in a world of pain. Still not 100% to be completely honest.

Great day. Smallish crowd had absolutely no baring on my day at all loved it, it must remain a Wednesday in my book.

Most experts tipping its a favourites day mate, so for most two options I’d guess:

Multi Up faves (Arcadia Queen, Mystic Journey etc) or take great odds on some good quality roughies

Good luck bud, looks a tough day to me
