Freezing to death here in Melbourne, not even the fact I have had 2 great days on the punt is cheering me up much. Picked up $2k on the first four in Melton race 1 on the way to the footy last night and thanks to fellow blogger Lucky (see link for Target 100K Aussie Punting Challenge on right) tipped me into plenty this arvo including a decent slice of the quaddie. Hope my 2 picks at Albion Park can show a bit more than most selections last night.
Feeling a tad embarrassed about my selections last night to be honest with the only 2 to salute being at very prohibitive odds and the rest were pretty average to be blunt. Will excuse Styx By Me who never got out but doubt it beats the winner anyway but of the rest the drives were almost as bad as the performance of the horses
If we look at the results
Ohoka Georgia - last qtr of its race was in 31+ which is unheard of at Metro level and went round them in a 29 qtr so probably ran 28 himself from the 1200 to 800m mark. Still entitled to give a bit more though
Lombo Lumber Jack, is a front of the field horse - simple as that and was never put into the race at any stage and was just winding up on the line
Scruncher, did a ton of work early and the fact they last half was run in 60 in an M2 race over a mile trip sums up the stupidity early
Anyway, heading to the Casino to watch em tonight and catch up with some mates so should be a big one
