am I a WEEENER or not ? YES I AM.

What a great days racing we had at the big T yesterday.. Some brilliant horse flesh on display as well. On top of this there was the TELETRACK COMPETITION to win a 7 night cruise on the MSC SINPHONIA... what a fantastic prize.

ELVIS was lucky enough to be called out as a finalist to win this fantastic cruise prize. About 30 mins BEFORE the off of the selected race ( the winning horse would decide who won the prize ) I told the guys at CITIZEN - ONE OF THE SPONSORS, that there was a scratched horse in the selected race. Each winning finalist was to draw a cap out the box, & the winning cap that matched the winning horse WON THE GRAND PRIZE....... There was ONE PRIZE ONLY....... WINNER TAKES ALL.

They / Citizen told us ..... oh thats just bad luck to the guy who draws the scratched horse... WHAT BULLSH!T I said.

P / R.A. should have been wide awake to know only 12 were going to make the final field. Only 12 finalists should have been drawn out the box. I said - THROW IN A CONSOLATION PRIZE !!

Anyway after a few FRANTIC PHONE CALLS..... we were told from the CITIZEN LADY............. there is a CONSOLATION PRIZE of R1,000 P betting voucher FOR THE POOR SOD WHO DRAWS DARK WIND - THE SCRATCHED HORSE.

So, now all 13 finalists are happy & the rules are clear to everyone now.

The poor SOD ELVIS - DRAWS DARK WIND OUT THE BOX ... If I didn't have sh!t for luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all !

A LESSON TO P / R.A. / KEN R.......... whoever was involved with this great competition..........don't let your SPONSOR try & go it alone........ give some help to them from the racing fraternity.............. this type of cock up could have been so easily avoided, but there wasn't one R.A. / P representative around when the final draw was taking place.

AM I A WEEENER...... I hope so, I didn't get that betting voucher, but the CITIZEN does have my contact details. what a day in Africa !

I am please to report that I got my P betting voucher ( 900 ) yesterday at the vaal. It was 1,000 less 100 that ALL finalists got on the actual race day.

& the good news is that i played the Quartet with my horse SILVER SPECIALIST - who ran 3rd, & managed to crack the QUARTET.... so a PROFIT I made. Thanks to P / Citizen for sticking to your word...... hope there's no repeat of this debacle in future !

Bad Luck Elvis...lets hope you get your voucher.
The fact that this was a TAB/citizen marketing comp,without a single rep.at the draw, is sadly so typical of the Company.

How could u pick that one Elvis?.....................lol

shit knows Dave.... you got the transfer o.k. ?

100% have sent email to Unlucky he will post soon (tu)

Hard luck Elvis - I hope you insist on that betting voucher - somebody clearly made a cock-up as the 'rules' state: 'Number of finalists will equate the number of final runners in the field' - by the way what 'traditional' outfit did you wear?

my birthday suit Frodo..haha....completed by that DARK WIND CAP I WON,

Elvis, your sod's luck made me laugh....Thanks, I needed it..
