I am open to correction to on this, the fore-runner to Sporting Post, the Alec Hogg publication, did the same "exercise" , and horse with a minimum of 9 to 10 runs (from July to July) have won the July. I kid you not, look it up

If memory serves me correct the publication was called, Racing Post, and Pierre Strydom used to write a weekly article (please correct me when you feel I'm talking garbage).

This publication was out approximately 1990/1991 (thereabouts).

Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

Hi Bayern in my mind the Racing Post was the UK paper and Site and Sporting Post was the SA paper?
I do notice that Karel not a Futura fan and I also hope he is wrong ?

Good punting

The Alec Hogg publication was the Racing Digest and it had a weekly column by Striker started in 1989 , was a great read, still have a few of them

Sorry Craig, didn't see your post, just went straight to mine now that the name came to mind. Thanks for coming to the rescue.

Futura's prep seemed to go well and will be hard to beat as he can quicken up off any pace. My other fancy is Power King, coming in with a light weight and always gives of his best. Will be a runner as well and the 25/1 looks good EW value.

No worries Bayern, brought back such good memories remember waiting at the Cafe for my Racing Digest to be delivered and get the first copy, straight to Strikers column. Those where such good days

Just watched a few replays and I think Deputy Judd is a big runner. @25/1 I will be taking this today. If u like French Navy u gotta give this a chance as well. Had no room to run and if it got a gap I think the result could have been alot closer. (Replay in the Daily News)

I worked there as my first Racing Vocation- Alec would put the story together with PS every week

Mr. H/Craig, do you remember the article I am referring too?
