Nice stories Globe😊, your name reminds me of one of my great punts back when teletext first came out (you bought this big box that pluged in to your big wooden telly to receive news, weather, most importantly live tab odds on the day updated every 5 minutes or so)
Global Gee was its name a trotter at the Hutt Park trots, think it was a Saturday as i cleaned up on the gallops that day about $2,000 (big money back then when you're on $5hr) so saw one of my fav horses running that night Global Gee - its one of those break or win horses, it was off the 80 - 100 meter handicap to make it more interesting....it was at about $9.00/$3.00 on teletext just before left home.
So raced up to the massey TAB westside, Auckland, lovely husband and wife owners, cashed me $2,000 and said $500 on the nose Global Gee, got home 5 minutes later checked teletext Global was at $2.00/$3.30...i thought shit i did that yeha.!
To cap off a great day Global Gee flew the tapes, hit the front after 400 meters all over Ta Lofa🍀
Paid $6.00
