Racehorse TALK

Asparagus......New Zealand grown, only tips for me 

i remember a battling trainer talking to a mate of mine at warwick farm one day,he said to him,all he needed was a big punter,my mate who is a big punter,but also very dry,retorts,training a few winners wouldn't hurt you either,ps trainer grumbled something,then walked away

good thing on my INFO thread, for u morons

are you urging us to look at it?     

You got him Judge. Penalty ??? 

if it gets rolled,hes barred from the cigs for 2 days

I was taught by my old man "there is no such thing as a free drink on any racetrack

Bubba, your old man obviously never met a bloke I knew years ago........he always had an urgent bet to place in the far ring when his shout arrived !       

Is when Singo shouts Max....

sporty,max is old enough to be singos father,so his old man has never heard of singo 

me dead hey....    

No such thing as a free drink on a racecourse? Have they closed the committee rooms and the owner & trainers bar?     

Bubba's certainly right about one old group of urgers in Melbourne. They were mostly ex jockeys or short guys that never made it. One had a licence to train but hardly ever had a runner and another passed himself off as a jockey valet. They were about as dumb as the melons that put on the bets. One such melon was getting his money from the back door at the RTA ( licenses to immigrants for a cash fee ).

It was a funny old time as you'd hear one team meber tip horse A to Melon A and another team member tip another horse in the same race to another potential target. The info had always "come from" the jockey or trainer and that person would need a certain bet size to seal the deal. These urgers had access to the mounting yard and jockeys room which added credibility to their con.

One of the biggest urgers was named Ted Mc ............. oops better not.     

Wherever  there's loose money.....those ready to snaffle it aren't far away. Nothing will ever change that.

Surely that bloke you mentioned ( TM ) could not be on this forum, he would not know how to turn on the power point for a computer.

Yes you're right Bubba. I might ask him about his computer literacy next time I'm downunder and see him lurking around a jockey.
