Durbanville Wed

I only seen the last 400m Durbs, but thought GVN gave Hammies every chance ?

Yes he tried for sure Bob just maybe a bit closer from draw 3 and he could have got up.I think he is placing is horses one or two spots too far back.

The minimum each way on Tornado Dance for me.

Bantam very dissapointing.

Hi guys, i've lost a packet today and just took it in my stride

Why? i accept that things don't always turn out the way they should and

In Cape Town this is the silly season

We all know that not all horses/trainers/jockeys come out to play

We still gamble on the unknown
I love horses / horseracing and i know us punters are up against it, but why do we always seek to blame everything on anything else but ourselves?

So true Jonny, took me 30 years to realise i was shite at punting, still love racing

Bob, i love racing, whether i win or lose, make no differance
I sometimes win big {for me} and use the money well
Most of the time i lose,but,so what, it is not only my hobby, I'TS MY ONLY HOBBY!
Thats why,WIN or LOSE, i don't mind,sure i am disappointed sometimes,but i live with it

Johnny of course it's just a hobby because if people think they can do this as a profession they gonna be living on the streets.But that doesn't mean we should just accept everything as it happens.Without people's opinions mediocrity rules and horse racing in this country will never be like it used to be.People are not supporting this sport as they used to.

Thats true Durbs
As a youngster we used to take the bus to Milnerton, Kenilworth and Durbanville and was'nt fazed by a 45min trip

And on course there used to be such a good vibe especially when the bookies where in front of the finishing post at Clairwood and Greyville.People running to take bets if one bookie shortened the price.Now they seem to be at Greyville to take advantage of happy hour at The lightning shot bar.
