Had a cracking day at the races on Saturday, one of those very rare days where I couldn't do much wrong on the punt.
Anyway there were 4 of us up in the members, we all chucked in $20 for the Adelaide quaddie and we told one mate who never puts them on it was his turn, he resisted but went ahead and got it done. First leg runs and number 3 gets up which we have @ $7, beauty we are off, I casually remark "you did put down the right numbers didnt you?" to which he replied, yep here is the ticket, I look and no number 3 in 1st leg, there is number 2 which we didn't select.....oh no...never fear I though, we will probably bomb out next leg....nup, then I picked Despatch at $21 in the 3rd leg and we then jag the last leg.
Paid $5k and we had it for 13% - $167 return each
My mate was shattered, I laughed as I was well up anyway and it could have happened to anyone of us, another mate was filthy!
Could have been worse as we had one horse running for $20k so look on the brightside...
