[bushranger]

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.

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  .
