False starts all round

Afternoon All

Things didn't go quite to plan on any front so far in 2012 so the start of all this has been pushed back to February.

Budget wise - just a few too many bills + a desire to do the trip I was meant to do to Canberra at Christmas on Australia Day weekend (well it is for me!!!)instead means a delay there.

Greyhounds wise - I found a problem in one of my ratings spreadsheets that was too hard to go back and fix in the results so I've tidied things up and started a fresh trial. Lots of work to do to get it right but I am encouraged by the results so far so will push on.

I did manage to find the first 4 out 6 legs of a $330k Big 6 a couple of weeks back - it didn't work out but it was a bit of a thrill still having a live ticket coming into the 5th leg. Even the supplementary dividend paid $25k or so - I ran an unlucky 2nd in leg 5 as well. Not too worry though, the exotics will always be frustrating but if I cab hit one like that one day, it could be a life changer even with the little percentages I normally play.

So there's the update for now - everything one hold for now. I'll touch base again soon

All the best

p.s. Best wishes go out to a mate of mine who is currently in hospital - Adrian, hope you're up and about again real soon
