David Murphy has done it again and I am kicking myself as I noted that he had two long shots drawn 1 tonight
Nansastar wins R1 and pays $66.60
I looked at it and thought how is he going to improve her enough in 4 days to win this final after she drew 1 in the heat and faded

Has done it more than twice from memory, may even be entered as a post here somewhere.
I have highlighted him before Pat - that is why I was mindful of him tonight but the 4 days seemed impossibleQuote:

Yes Greg, the 2nd of the Drivers series at GP tonight provides us with a new leader as
Courage Tells gets up at $114.50
(He was $151 fixed)
Holy cow, not a bad field either and off the 8 peg as well.

Rank outsider in an 11 horse field and she got the chocolates in the R7 trot at Bendigo tonight

In 1949, Col Stevenson from Fenton's Creek near Wedderburn was working as a builder at Mt Gambier.
His brother Ted had a pacer, Miss Fenton (with form reading 0 0 0) racing at the Royal Showgrounds Melbourne .
Col chartered a light plane to fly to Melbourne to get to the Showgrounds ( no TAB or legal off course betting then !).
He put his money on.
Miss Fenton was 100 to 1 with the bookmakers, BUT paid 609 to 1 on the on-course tote. Col collected more than half the tote pool.
There is a house on a farm at Fenton's Creek that was built with the proceeds.
