We had a good meeting in Sydney with our form suppliers and I was able to get back in time to pick Ros up from the hospital. The procedure itself didn’t go well but at least the exploratory nature showed a 67% postive result. I did get home in time to have a few investments while Ros rested and inbetween the housework which is now my responsibility for the next week. That was a positive result with a net $600+ from a limited number of races. It would hav ebeen better if I hadn’t fallen for the “favourite” trap. The figures said “okay” but I had this nagging doubt. The odds on Fav ($1.85) raced upside down even with Pike aboard and the other qualifier in the dutchbet never left the rear of th field.That cost me $300 but it is just part of the series and will be recouped. Had I not had kitchen duties I could have continued with the remaining two eligible daylight races for a $10 winner to come home with and a nice addition to the profit, however $600 nett for an hours work is fair enough I say.
