but not as good an outsider as Frodo's call with Fanzene....:

Great call Frodo!!!!

Let me just say Khumalo should forfeit his riding fees there.....that was some kinda bad ride.

Ditto (td)

Congrats to Luchelle Kruger - I think that was her first feature winner -D

And extremely poor from TT not showing the lead-in or the interview - if it was Woodruff, de Kock or Tarry it would have been another story :X

Fark TT...pulling their usual cr@p moves....:X

I like Depardieu on looks...my outside place fancy....
Cannot decide on Kings Bay...or Linkman

With a bit of luck , Link Man could place

Just to add some spice - betting all wrong imo - I won't be suprised if both of the Campbell runners do not feature in the first 4 <

Here comes billy E/W

Not good to see Gavin injured.......some of these horses definitely require better schooling....

that takes some goolies....(tu)
