I actually caught the PA...added favourite to each horse I posted earlier...was the horses I posted that got me through Races 5 and 6 when many PA tickets fell...

Well done on the PA - I also was not convinced about Rose for Trippi at the weights - had Insatiable in the BP but not in the PA - so I missed out on both And I did not include Samoa - who had a definite chance at the weights - her one previous run when ridden by this jock was poor - sometimes we are too clever for ourselves

I will pass by the trainer interviews in future - before I watched them, I made Pinch Hit the best bet on the card - needless to say after I watched the interview I did not have a cent on it

In general just to note that with all the rain around last week, many horses did not get the work in that they should have, so inconsistent results not that unexpected - Opera Glass (even though I fancied Earl) for example - her rating has dropped recently and the allowance made her that much more competitive

At least for me, most results can be explained - unlike the lottery in KZN :dry: :dry:

Fillies and Mares are doing very well in Classified Stakes and Conditions races in Gauteng. Due to allowances, most of the time I include them even if they at big prices.
