I'm going to do a Kim Hughes and tearfully resign as captain

Apparently cost TAB 600k in payouts.

Kumai who won 2 Parliamentary Handicaps?

Yeah thanks for that 🙄

One of the few times I agree with you. No chance...

And this will be me

Mere detail my friend. The psychological pressure will be your undoing. Whereas I have absolutely nothing to lose because I'm crap. Call it an FA Cup 4th round tie. Upsets happen regularly. I know what a scholar of English football you are. By Saturday morning you'll look like this

Ok we'll play the old HTD. Only real change is that I need an easy kill for confidence levels so I'll take Hesi and Rees can take care of Roland.

A very good question. Answers on a used tote ticket.

I think the captain has lost the dressing room 🤨

Well playing the joker went well didn't it? I think we need a name change.

Just a hunch. What could possibly go wrong? 😃

It was a bit of a joke Ian. Hesi and I are far happier being opponents 😎

I'm not going on the same team as Hesi 🤨

Has attracted a load of whinging. Thoughts? https://www.racenet.com.au/news/whinging-is-now-an-olympic-sport-and-aussies-favoured-for-gold-20190703

These people clearly have too much money.

There does seem to be some degree of desperation in going to a subscription model for sites like these. I don't see how it will work but good luck to anyone who wants to splash their hard earned out on it.

Actually I'd completely forgotten about it PJ. Will consider it in the next round or two.

Sand weighed down with oil apparently. Not sure that would really be suitable in NZ. Love the track name, Fannie Bay 😁

All Formidables have posted.

Yep Shelly Hale said in the Herald this morning that he's lost a bit of interest because of bad beginnings but that they were going to try and hunt him out from the barrier this week. I agree, a really good bet at decent odds.

Finances aren't an issue. I'm not suggesting we have them, it was more a roundabout way of pointing out that we don't have them whilst others do 😃
