I picked number 17 weeks ago and I had no idea what horse would end up with it. But as soon as I found out that it was in the Richmond colours I knew I had to have a bet on it.
I only had a small bet $5.00 each way.
I should have saved my money as its still running but not as bad as some.
Well at least I can have a whinge about it as I had a bet on it. But I know I will only go in sweeps from now on.   :gotigers

Geez most of the big races this spring have been won by outsiders. The jockeys on the Irish horses are in deep do-do too for treating the first mile like a sprint. No wonder all 3 horses came last.

An even dozen for Bart Cummings I believe
And 50 years to the day after his first one too  :clapping.
