Racehorse TALK

Wenona I'm sure it's tis one as I backed it and it won the cup.

It than became a money burner to me.

It's Thong Classic isn't it.

Not sure, but not the one I'm thinking of mate.

I'll narrow it down a bit - I backed it.

I didn't know Largo lad ran in the race. 

Not this century. 

From this article I found through google  it seems Thong Classic had won a Colac Maiden.

"Thong Classic may be your archetypal Melbourne Cup runner but he remains so far down the order of entry he is not certain to make the field. Glenn Lester reports.

Thong Classic may be your archetypal Melbourne Cup runner: a smart handicapper, stays well, not up to weight-for-age standard but worthy of a place in our equine institution. The sort of horse who is the backbone of the race.

He's a horse who was given time to develop, spending 10 months of his two-year-old season in a paddock, and whose career, says trainer Pat Carey, has "barring explanation, never taken a backward step" since he won a maiden at Colac in March, 2001."

Correct.

Say what you like about the great Largo lad, after wining the Blamey Stks, he'll always have a sweet spot in my heart. 

Rain Gauge?

Don't talk to me about f 'n Rain Gauge, and if you see Greg Childs around the traps, give him a kick in the balls from me.

Shouldn't punting be fun?

Any Help

Kicking him in the balls would be fun.

I'll add hints in the opening post if no one gets it.
