The blinkers could make Meissa very competitive, worth a punt

I would not leave out Night Editor and Move like Jagger out of quartets

I went to a party last night and it was so funny watching all these old posh folk dancing to Move like Jagger.

Really good win Talktothestars - hard to take a horse to win in Kimberly and then another two wins on grass

horse racing is there for the privileged few. Those who can afford to own horses, those who know the owners of these horses, those who train these horses, those who ride these horses and those who can afford a bookies licence and have the money just in case some lucky mug wins big one day in order pay out such lucky mug who then basically gets barred from that particular bookie and others. As for the rest of us we might as well write them out a cheque at the beginning of the month and save ourselves from the agony when we just get beat by a nostril by one of James Blonds outsider tips. The clue is in the name. Sport of Kings.

Got to agree with u chicken. When we lucky we catch on with the crumbs here on abc or via via. Just glad I ain't betting today else I would have been in the gutter now.

when I lived in Cape Town a friend of mine sponsored the main race of the day, once a year, for a few years. Every year he and I would go into the parade ring before the race and every year we would be told a horse. Without fail the horse we were given always won. Most of the time its who you know and not what you know.
