Hey All
Racing can be so frustrating - you're traveling along ok and then it all comes crashing down. Had my biggest losing day under the new system last week with - 47 units. That puts me down 24 units for the calendar year - not good, not good at all.
Bigger picture though, I am still in front since I started back in November and I'm confident of getting back on track pretty quickly. Having the best horses racing should help that happen
Only 3 double up races today with 17 races to be run, here are two of them
Caulfield Race 1
Finishing Card comes back from having a crack at the Group 1C.F. Orr Stakes - cops 60kg but gets a 2 kg claim. Final Jest gets a claim as well so gets in 1.5kg under the limit, last start winner that will get a good run on the pace. Confident it's one of them in a thin race.
Randwick Race 4
With some smart horses first up and looking for a little further I think I've got this race sorted. Dances on Stars doesn't win all that often but is 3rd up now after 2 very good runs. On the other hand, Terravista has won 4 from 6 and looks very well placed here. One of them should win
Great day of racing, good luck if you're having a punt
A mug punter's attempt to turn things around - watch and learn (or maybe just point and laugh) as I have a crack at moving from being - the not so professional punter - through - the semi professional punter and finally to - the professional punter - Well hopefully :)

Saturday February 15 - Black Caviar Lightning Stakes Day
Hey All
The racing is really heating up now with the good horses returning - gotta love this time of year
Had a small win last week of 3 units which makes me plus 23 units for the year - not where I want to be percentage wise but it's hard to complain when you're in front
Black Caviar has won the last 3 runnings of the Lightning Stakes so it makes sense it's been named after her, especially after she won it in track record time last year - was an amazing effort.
This year I think I've got it down to just the 2 chances so will double up on the race. Samaready is multiple group 1 winner that will come from off the pace and Bernabeu is an up and comer that won super impressively this course and distance during the Spring Carnival.
Rosehill could be interesting with some rain about so it might be a mistake waiting until the last but it does look a race in two - Dream Choice and Mr Jackman
Good luck to anyone having a bet

February 1 - let's get back on track
Hey All
A new month, a couple of small tweaks and I'm confident I'll be back on track in no time
The biggest tweak is with the double up bets - rather than looking for horses to take one out I'll focus on doubling up on the races I'm most confident of beating.
Change for you guys as well - I'll post up a couple of my double up bets for the day rather than looking for straight out winners. Hopefully it works out and we start seeing the names of a few winners on here
Caulfield Race 1
Let's get it early - Mamwaazel and So Hasty will be right up on the pace here and provided they don't take each other on they'll be very hard to run down. At around $4 each, dutching them up will get me around evens.
Rosehill Race 7
The staying race of the day so have to go the in form Waller runner in Junoob - finished off well last start to just miss, the step up 2000m should help. Jacquinot Bay cracked it for a win last start, steps up to 2000m for the first time and will be up on the pace - confident one of these two will be first past the post.
