Only one bet but what a bet. It looked hopeless to the turn but once let loose it swamped them and didn’t the money telll! I took $5.5 in the a.m. and it opened at $3.8 on course to firm and start fav @ $3.2 which was 10 cents less than top tote. David Bendeich has imposed some rules of his own. He does not back them in SA or WA and claims better results and also he has loosened the rules so while we have a ruel -200 to + 200 in the distance differenece he ignores that and also he ignores runners well beaten last start AND also includes 6yo which we don’t. His amendments increase he number of bets dramatically BUT also 25% more profit from a lower strike rate. Our plan has 28% wins $4.2 av win $1.69 plce, his is 27 % AND 53% PLCE @ $4.57 AND $1.82. OBVIOUSLY MOST WINNERS AND SELECTIONS ARE DUPLICATED BUT HE FOUND A $23 WINNER SATURDAY THAT WE MISSED. Two hotshots today and Ive put my bets on before heading off to Tasmania where its expected to b wet wet wet all week, just what I need while Ros and I are there. Just got off the phone to Mat and he is improving but they are still having trouble getting his blood levels right and still not in control of his bowels, well good for the Sorbent company. Well off to pack our raincoats.
