All the best Nicola, your dad needs the money.

Will ask my bookie for ATC, hope he has a big calculator.

karoo 2/1, chiswick 20/1, travino 16/1. speech 16/1, charming way 16/1, chicken run 7/1, jargon 9/2, khadar 12/1, indigo violet 16/1, running riot 14/1.

Brilliant Hibby and well done Nicola, the bookie must be sweating with the ATC

lol

He's my brother today with Highland Lord.

I hope Muzi brings home Senor Sadler in the last...

Think 8/1 Mr Rawling in R7 is great value

Their was and is one thing I hate in racing and that's race fixing regardless of whether I own the horses or not.

I'm going to be bold and say this because it just caught my eye.

On the way down in Race 6 at Flamingo I noticed Willie Uys and Gerrit having a conversation . Amazing how Durango almost won and yet Gerrits ride which was short in the betting ran no where.

Now before all the Willie Uys supporters jump down my back I'm very well aware of his betting activities and past history so mind me for jumping to conclusions.

You say that you noticed Willie Uys and Gerrit Schlecter having a conversation. Now what do you think they were talking about? Maybe it went something like this. "Jeez Willie, Kimberley is such a kak place but I seem to end up here every Monday" Ja Gerrit but a ride is a ride boet and we need the money. Ja and Cape Town is cold and rainy Willy and besides it gets me out of riding work in the morning. "anyway all the best with your mount and I will see you at the Airport this evening.

Adios I have past the 100th winner a long long time ago ... I would have loved Durango to win as he is one of my wifes favorite horses and I am sure she had a punt.

Do you visit Turfontein on the weekends ?
