9 wins from 18 for Highstrikers Last Minute Mail yesterday ensured a profitable result. The SMS service had two from four but the winners prices were way too short and a very bad ride cost us the last win. How often do jockeys take off midrace, circle the field and then run away in the straight. Mostly they are settingthemselves up for a fall and thats what happened. I was disppointed with Trapeze Artist yesterday but then the trainer said “he never does well second up, he’ll be a lot better next time.” Didn’t help me. Our Blue Diamond tip Prarie Fire was 4th so will go on to win more races, and Snitty Kitty and Bons away were both in the firing line in the Oakleigh Plate, it didn’t help of course. Our singles for the Autumn subscribers had two from 6 so a small profit there. Astoria and Mr So And So ran 2nd and 3rd, Overshare won, and Sunlight, well I wish I had more on her, she’s tough. I was keen on Brave Smash and he duly saluted and the last at Caulfield was an easy C Plan win. I should have suggested Mark Zahrafor the day maybe. A good result from him. A few rain affected tracks around today but still enough action to keep you all going. Overall there were winners there, enough to make a profit for our regulars but nothing spectacular. That will come. I noted that in January we had a $201 winner. I think I was away that week. Tomorrow Ros goes in to get her new knees. I’m going to be busy adding rehabilation to my duties.
