That’s bit below the belt putting me in the same bracket as herI would be more worried if you or Alex Hammond tip it![]()
Stick what are your thoughts on that bumper at Exeter? With three previous winners carrying a penalty it looks a fairly tasty race but might we see a shock winner in Unwin Vic? Connections paid a fair bit for the unraced 4YO filly and she comes from a decent family. With her sex allowance, age allowance and the riders 7lbs I think she might be worth an e/w poke at 25/1.
Fonsanta beat The Fyling Sofa of course so RED HOT FORM![]()

Good job I can differentiate between male and female people better than I can horses![]()
That's not what I heard from the locals when I was on holiday in Phuket!!!!![]()






Quite a nice pedigree for this GELDING odddy and the sales price shot up from 11,000 as a foal to 47,000 as a 3yo. The dam was unraced and this is her first foal so not much to go on. The dam is well related though and the sire is producing his fair share of bumper winners. It was nibbled at last night so connections must like him a bit. The negative for me is the yards record in bumpers. You know as well as I do that a number of yard excel in this sphere and some are frankly hopeless. This yard is in the latter category.
I would be surprised if the winner doesn't come from one of the three carrying a penalty and the one I like the most is FONSANTA. Kicked myself when I missed it on debut! At bigger prices I thought LOUD AS LIONS was overpriced for EW purposes at 40/1.
Remember being in Boogie Street in Singapore as a 16 year old galley boy. Had a dolly bird sitting on my knee massaging my bits. I was in seventh heaven until the bosun ambled over and mentioned the adam's apple. I was mortified when the implication sank in. Can't remember what happened next though
Funny thing is, after all the radiotherapy on my larynx (adam's apple) mine has sunk somewhat.
I'm wondering about a career change?!!!![]()

Looking to kick the day off on the right note again and the horse for the job is surely;
MOTUEKA 13/2 Exeter 2:00
Went in my tracker on seasonal debut when just touched off by Landin. I thought compensation was just around the corner but his two runs since have been less than spectacular. He is now in a handicap though and off a mark of 116, the aforementioned Landin is worth 124 so I reckon if Motueka runs up to his form he is around 8lbs well in.
The other big factor for me is that Dickie Johnson has been absent for his last two runs and this tricky character is likely to go better for the master horseman.
I cannot see the 13/2 being around for long as he is up at 4's in other places and a best 5/1 with proper bookies.
