In terms of consumption and collects.
Didn't bet in the first, backed the favorite in the 2nd ran 2nd, No collect. From that point on the day was literally unbelievable, you couldn't script the way our punting went. We had tents around us asking for our Tips such was our carry on.
In the 3rd we packed Chiaro for a place, it had its last 5 runs in Melbourne, albeit no placings we just thought that form was far better than Balaklava form. Ran 2nd paid $7.20. 4th race we didn't like the favourite so jumped on Katims Club wins and paid $5.50. 5th Race we loaded up on the favourite and doubled our money (and i mean loaded up!), did the same with Magic Delta for a another double up.
At this stage were miles in front, we knew Brad Rawiller only had 1 ride for the day, why would Brad Rawiller come to Balaklava for one ride, i tell you why 'To win the Balaklava Cup' and that he did, and we were on it, we also had a part owner in the tent of Jack the lad, got $7.50 the place for Jack and got the trifecta 1.25 times, big result for us BIG RESULT.
Didn't bet in the last as we were still on a high from the cup, then realised we also won the Qauddie that we literally all forgot about!
Drinks were flowing, weather was amazing, as were the scenes on track
Mallala on the way home, my Collingwood supporter mate absolutely pasted Bernie Vince for his views on the Maynard hearing 
, Waterloo final resting place went home with a very fat wallet, got yelled at, showed he the cash funnily enough the yelling stopped.Already looking forward to next year........
