First off let me direct FF91 to a couple of sites which may be too late but better than never: –
racenet.com.au
justhorseracing.com.au
I do hope they may help in the future.
Indeed Nathan, I have been keeping my head down and trying to dodge Covid19 and with so little of interest for me in the racing world this is the first time I have visited here for a while.
I remain in touch with MrE who is doing ok. We are rather opposed regarding our Australian views but I can say he tells me he remains in profit.
This time last year I had ceased my Australian adventure for two reasons. It was always intended as a good ground replacement for our domestic NH racing and as our Flat started to get into swing the Australian scene entered it’s Autumnal period and my positive results fell away. It was for me a case of, job done!
It has not been so this year and despite working changed ideas my results fell away. I changed my approach and in fact I am experimenting yet again and have fingers crossed but certainly I have nothing worth posting. I do believe with the Australian Autumn there as here some horses are put away and others come back to the track and these changes bring about some surprising results and I have been amazed by how many good things have turned out not to be such a good thing.
Variance is what MrE calls it, we have different views but but is that not great? We continue to do our best but his best is better than mine.
Take care and look after yourself and those you love.

Sad news I am afraid.
I have just read at another place our friend Purwell aka ferdy has been diagnosed with Leukaemia and in his post of 3 weeks previous he says he does not expect to see another horse race.

Hi Bill – I am glad you are keeping well and also MrE.
Very sad to hear about Purwell.
Keep safe.
I have heard back from MrE who has asked me to pass on his regards to one and all.
He is currently enjoying a hot streak with the Australian greyhounds, 9 winners on the bounce, what a man, especially when you think they have 10 dogs in a race.
Stay safe.

One for FinalFurlong91.
This site looks to cover the eastern side of Australia and therefore should give you a good insight to what is going on in Sydney: –
Good luck.

As the season in Australia is starting to wind down my form collapsed in much about the same way as it did last year but that was fine because Australia was always and only intended to replace the NH as I do not enjoy the English winter racing conditions.
As we are all aware this year is different.
I have had to reinvent my approach so that I have been able to continue the enjoyment I have had all winter long but with all changes comes risk and so I have made a reduction in my already small stakes so that only minor damage would be inflicted on me should it all go horribly wrong.
Saturday in Australia is much the same as our domestic racing, it always feels to me much more competitive and so I am being very cautious indeed because I do not want to wreck what has been a very good week indeed. My good week would not get me on a ferry to the Isle of White let alone a cruise round the Med.
With all this in mind it could be only worth watching the result despite my risking a little of this week’s pocket money.
Morphetville Race 5 (5.36 am) SEABROOK at 100/30 or 1.83 to place with bet365. . . 2nd
I was all over MISS FROST Race 2 at Ascot until I saw the price of 1/2 and knowing I have had a bad run with such short priced favourites it was easy to avoid risking what little I have left in the bank. How right I was to give this one a miss, yet again the short priced fav. is turned over!

Sunday in Australia.
There is quite a mixed bag of choices each with different claims but this list provides a selection for consideration suitable for individual preference.
Beaudesert R5 HARD LABOUR a short priced favourite which was 6/4 earlier today.
Bunbury R6 ANGELIQUE’S FLAME, considered in some quarters as the Bet of the Day at 5/2
Bairnsdale R1 RAYSIM a good favourite and a market mover at 19/10
Dubbo R8 MAROKAWA provides the opportunity for those wanting a reasonable price to place at 1.83
Sapphire Coast R4 RUBAIYA was 6/5 fav. but has since shortened to 10/11

Following a run of good results from my revised plan I thought I would show the membership how clever I was.
On reflection that was a pretty conceited posting and deserved the results of each being a loser and dented the profit I was gloating about.
HUMBLE PIE and without doubt a huge one at that and I must eat it all.

Golden Rule Number 1 . . . . it’s never a good idea to chase losses.
No system selection for Monday.
Rule breaker: –
Grafton Race 7 (7.35 am) MAGNALANE 13/8 (boosted) Unibet

I’m quite disciplined on the whole Bill and have learned not to chase losses the hard way
At times though when I have had a decent winner I can then destruct and proceed to give all the profit back
this game is just as much about mental strength as it is having a talent for picking winnersGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
