Good stuff mel on the last two postings. Even though you lost money, it doesn't tell the whole story. Both days were increasingly difficult on all my parameters and couldn't be touched . so the fact that you got 4 plays out of 18 to hit the ticket says to me your handicapping was spot on. I couldn't come up with one as all my simms were showing all races and their top (5) competitors within 8 points of each other . And that is a big no no for me to get involved in. So the work here on your part was above average .

I thought you should get a mention as they were complicated cards

yes

Thank you, sir. As you know it is Winter down there and it can be much more difficult (at least for me) when the "real" racehorses are home training for Spring. That's why I haven't been playing the Kiwi cards much lately. Had a couple of brutal rides as well - nothing we can do about that as there are a lot of apprentices riding in the winter.
