Our Winform Daily Mail is covering 8 races today and 7 of those are on tonight. A good night I reckon. 3 a.m. this morning I am up to drive my daughter Belle and her foster kids to the airport for a four day holiday with their paternal grandparents and . It will be an interesting and I hope good four days but I didn’t enjoy the Sydney traffic around the airport which was bad even at 5.30a.m. when we arrived. Luckily, about half the normal crowd for bag drop and her trip ended up smooth. In the meantime I am buggered and I arrive at Tuggerah to pick up a couple of toys for their Christmas but even though the staff of the toy store are inside AND I explain that I have just driven two hours to get there, the message is we open at 9. So there I am, six peoepl fussing about but noone wnats to hand me the two items behind the counter we arranged the night before. So after my extended wait, they made a point of opening right at 9 a.m. while they have watched me standing there for an hour, I pick up the toys, total staff time 60 seconds and head home to post the ratings at 9.30 a.m. You know in daylight saving time I get calls out of our normal hours but guess what? I take the query and if it’s simple I fix it on the spot if it’s not I arrange to fix it overnight (my day normally starts around 5 a.m. processing payments and posting to the website etc,) . Maybe my business philosophy is different to today or maybe that business has more sales than they need? I don’t know. P>S. THE JOHN FURGAL TRAIN ROLLS ON. 4 selections yesterday for two wins and all 4 placed . Are we back above 50% winners again? Yes we are!
