Only two meetings yesterday and a run of outs at Benalla didnt help. At the end of the day though we were back on average for the combined strategy and it continues to amaze me how it always winds back to the mean even though one of the winners was a mere $1.28. It would not surprise me to see users drop out after such a bad run at Benalla Especially as the Nowra meeting didnt start until mid afternoon and dragged on til late but that’s how it is sometimes. I didnt bother. Ros and I had a couple of appointments to attend to anyway. I have mixed feelings about both these tracks. Yarra Valley race today and Kempsey which is near the holiday haven of Port Macquarie and will be well attended and we can expect better results although I notice we have some older horses rating well today. We give those a miss.
