RIP - Kerry

Morning All,

Apologies once again for the non update of results, yesterday was thrown totally out of whack by the terrible news that a mate from university died in a car crash on Saturday.

Kerry was a real character - I'm pretty sure he started at UNE in 1984, I got there in 96 and left in 99, he was still there well after that - he was an institution at the institution. Originally, and I guess always a Kiwi, Kerry was a bistro regular and more often then not ended up running pool comps and the like - we played plenty of games, shared plenty of drinks and lots of laughs. He was only 55, so taken from us way too early - RIP Kerry

Back to business, once again just patchy results - I will now looking at doing a more comprehensive review at the end of the month. In summary, I dropped another 5 units on the weekend after only managing to find 3 winners. Sounds terrible doesn't it? It's not all that bad though, with 6 second place getters - most of which would have seen me finish in front if they had won - and a few other races which were won by horses that were in my top couple I'm confident of turning it around shortly. Overall flat stakes is losing 9 units after 3 meetings - Wednesday is the next day of betting, subject to when I go north to see Kerry off.

The exotics were as frustrating as flat stakes - I ended up missing putting on the Sydney quaddie, would've lost anyway, so doubled up on that Big 6 that missed. In Melbourne I only missed on 1 leg of both the quaddie and Big 6 with Grand Duels winning the 6th - I had the 2nd and 3rd horses. The quaddie paid $2791 and Big 6 $16815 so hitting either would've gave me a nice profit on the day. Overall though, 3 weeks of wipeouts for the exotics and -12 units.

The greyhounds will get another run tonight, currently sitting on -14 units

Oops, look at the time I better get ready for work, have a great day all
