Racehorse TALK

I'll start....you knew I would....
Male, living on the NSW Far South Coast...and loving it!....we have an uninterupted view of Montague Island....sweeeeeet.

I am retired from the RAAF ......With ongoing injury and illness problems......age group ..lets say 50 to 60.....fekk...I think its closer to 60 though.

We have 3 beautiful daughters who have blessed us with 5 Grandkids and another due in March....Grandkids are a wonderful part of life.

We bred and trained the Dishlickers for a few years in the Hunter Valley.....bred some 800 pups....500 odd individual winners....it was fun.

Love to travel and spent 3 years travelling the East Coast in a  Winnebago towing the faithful Jeep Wrangler behind...wonderful times.

I have spent 2 years attending TAFE and am up to advanced level in Cabinet Making....roll out the Rocking Horses...

Do a bit of Fishing...lots of Beach Walking....Gardening....yeah, all that stuff we old farts do.

Some memorable moments....taking the controls of an FA18 Fighter Plane for 10 minutes....talk about an adrenalin rush....

Being dropped off on the peak of Mt Sinai (Mt Moses) from a Huey and walking back down.
Travelling throughout Egypt and Israel whilst working with a Peacekeeping Force.

Futue plans...more of my present lifestyle.....when your onto a good thing.......

male,
far far south coast nsw ( merimbula, pambula )
40-50 lower end of that scale thank you.
couple of kids and a wife 
riders agent and build a few basic websites.
spare time spent surfing and a bit of snowboarding in winter. 
Dislikes crowds, traffic, trafic lights, lining up for anything at all. 
I can live basically anywhere in Australia and this is it for me 2hrs to the snow and 10 min to the surf. 

Gallopers, I was talking to Simon B (was apprenticed to Nugget at Bega) on Sunday....he said to say G'Day

Bundy, talking to my old man the other day,
He says to me,
"If I'd have known that my grandchildren
were going to be so much fun,
He'd of had them first". 
PSML 

lmao qwerty

Bump...c'mon..are ya all shy?

Bundy,  I'm just your basic loser that is living on welfare and living in a Department of Housing house .
  Some days I get really down (like today) and other days I couldn't give a rat's arse (hopefully tomorrow).

keep your chin up grats.
you have rare qualities, one of them is saying what you think with out actually worring who you may offend or how you may be seen, then having the guts to say sorry if you feel youve done wrong.
you got a roof over your head and yea your a loser, but only on the punt. 

I have one belief Grats,

Life is all about Family and quality of life ..... you could be a multi and have the worst quality of life and a bad relationship with your family.

If you don't have family that cares about you, then you don't have anything 

No worries Gents. things are OK .

Just having a few health problems and once the Doc hits me with a needle I feel a bit better.
Hope the stewards don't drug test me with all the medication

Magic, as far as family goes, I'm a millionaire. My missus even gets up at 5am to go and get me a paper due to me not being able to drive for awhile.
I've even got my grand kids trained. One of them went to ring me the other day and waited till a race was over before doing so

Ok, here goes... towards the lower end of the 30-40 range, living on the Southern outskirts of Brisbane (actually a part of Logan), on a 1 acre block (just the right size I reckon).

IT Consultant (QA/Test specialist/manager), currently farmed out to one of the Universities.

Two sons (5 and nearly 3)... my 5yo especially should be representing Australia in at least 3 different sports by the time he's finished high school... he's the type of kid who sees a sports field and wants to go and run a few laps - he started doing that when he was 3, , no idea where he got that from, definitely not from me   (keeping him away from the computer long enough could be a problem though - that bit he does get from me!)

...as for interesting times - I've worked for a couple of online casinos, and spent some time doing technical audits of gaming software (mostly for the Vanuatu government) I even designed a betting exchange platform (we had one company operating on it in Europe for a while, but competing against betfair on a shoestring budget is not a good idea, even back a few years ago, ).

As for hobbies... been playing World of Warcraft a bit too much lately, that tends to remove a lot of the time for anything else... but computer games have always been up there

Can't say I've taken the controls of an FA18 like Bundy, but I have taken over the flying of a Cessna Caravan for around 10 mins (surely a very similar experience?) on a longhaul flight from Straddie to Archerfield (essentially the whole trip once takeoff and landing is removed).

All that probably sounds more interesting than it was, ... I still have a huge mortgage and would prefer a job where I was working from home, but hey... early days yet

Next?

Male (last time i checked) 27 from melbourne, out Mornington peninsula way, bout 40 minutes out of town.
Married about six months ago (already stopped counting)
No kids that are know about or have been proven.
Self employed carpenter.
Well what to say, finished my apprenticeship and then backpacked around europe for a while which was amazing, bought a house near the water about 3 years ago that was pretty much a knockdown and am restoring it myself which takes up a fair bit of time. Nearly done but now am about to start an extension which will pretty much double the size.It does not end. 
Have a pub about 400 metres from my house which is pretty bloody handy, needless to say spend a bit of spare time down there knocking over a few and having a crack on the tote.
Dont gamble on the harness, odd go on the dogs but the true love is the gallops, I started early and was the only 12 year old i know that had a 10 grand bank account coutesy of the tote, when i used to help the old man out who is and was the definitive mug punter (he used to take  my commision) i still remember getting my first quaddie when Mr cube broke the track record in the last leg at flemington  haha.Grew up near sandown racecourse so was always out there, either with the old man or ridin the pushie .

Needless to say there has been a lot of losses and wins since then but as we all know its all about the chase and the fun of it, which is something ill love until i die, but now with a wife cant get too carried away or i risk castration.
Have had a share in a very promising testa rossa gelding who's career was stuffed by a terrible rookie trainer.After a few near misses in good races, things went sour and we disolved, i still dont have that photo to put up in the pool room... yet
Pretty much just waiting to get back into ownership but obviously without spending a million dollars.
anyway hope that wasnt too boring and ill end it there before i get rsi.
WM

Wel done WM..and have a chat with KeepersLegend....he can find a good one or two....


Next!!
