Great nights racing - wish I was there.
[VVV] No you don't Don C.
There'll be late gear change announcements -snorkel and flippers added- going on all day today. It has been belting down all night here. There's an old bloke over the road in the park with all sorts of animals lined up 2 by 2 and he's building an Ark. :rolleyes:
Bugger! Well where I am there is 150k winds and last night Sir Elton John swung into town to sing a few numbers and hightailed it out of here deciding that the town wasn't big enough for him and headed to Sydney. With the way the wind was it would taken him about 20 minutes to get there.
We had 30mm here last night 4 inches for the week bad luck to the poor bastard's that didn't get all their crop's off another good year only to be stuffed up before the finish line we were lucky and got it all off except for oats but their is still 2500 bags there from last year so not that worried about them and Mick in the mile
Ringman what do you mean by you lay horse's are you a bookmaker of some sort ?
[VVV] G'day Greg,
I left Sydney and we drove out to Dubbo early on Monday morning. It was fine all the way to Orange then it kind of clouded over a bit and by the time we got to Dubbo it was puffed up and ready to go. The rain started just as we were leaving which was around 1pm & it rained like buggery all the way East from Dubbo through Meriwa & onwards through to Scone, basically the further East we went the heavier it got. It belted down in Scone and when I left there about 7 it was rolling and kept going all the way to Sydney.
The track at Menangle must be some piece of work because the amount of rain that has fallen in the past week would have damned near wrecked most racing surfaces. That they will be racing tonight is in itself a miracle. If the rain holds off from now until post time I am picking the track will be lightning fast because the rain washes all the finer material downward. The same sort of thing used to happen at Mowbray in Tassie after prolonged heavy rainfall. I'm packing a jacket and a brolly just in case.
Cam and Don C. , you'll need to get out the formguide as Essene in Race 5 has been scratched.

Race 1 - Mandy Rambo
Race 2 - Mach Wiper
Race 3 - Lous Lad
Race 4 - Girls Rule
Race 5 - Allrightythen

Race 7 - Sundons Gift (Tough choice, really like Miss Warbucks as well)
Race 8 - Can't tip Karloo Mick to win and can't tip against the old warhorse :) So Karloo Mick it is by default.
Race 9 - Scandalman
Race 10 - Buckeye Nation
