OK fellas.
The key to a successful spring is to get a pile of bookies money in your safe early on.
Then you drive home the advantage.
For me, early spring ends this Saturday.
Luckily my favourite mare will win.
Foxplay lost a bit of confidence chasing Winx. Thats happened to a lot of good horses.
So Waller, being the shrewd cat he is, has entered Foxplay in a G2 mares race with set weights and modest penalties.
To remind her she is the best mile mare in the country, when Winx isnt around.
Its timely, cause I need reminding that I'm smarter than the filthy bookies.
I got my really excited feeling when I saw her entered in this race. I only get the really excited punting feeling about 5-6 times a year.
She is a class above Silent Sedition and Global Glamour and several classes above the rest of the field.
Foxplay has drawn gate 5. you need a good gate at Caufield. SS and GG are starting from the carpark.
and K.McEvoy has jumped back on board. He is red hot and rode her in the QOT win.
The knock on her is she's dropping back in distance from 1600 to 1400m.
I see this as a plus. When she won the G1 QOT in the Autumn, she dropped back 2000m to 1600m. She runs a very good mile, obviously, but I reckon 1400 is her optimum distance.
Watch her G2 Pharlap win.
Anyway fellas, it'll be my last chance to establish a winning spring position. Cause another key to a successful spring, is if you're putting money in bookies bags, stop.
Foxplay to win the Tristarc on saturday. If you see 4-1, shove the fattest wad of cash you can hold in the bookies' face.
All my remaining spring chips (which go very well with spring lamb and mint sauce) are going to the middle of the table, and hopefully the bookies can suck my arse until summer.
good luck Saturday fellas :fing32
