My office for most of last night and this morning, after getting some food poisoning last night at the hotel (can't catch a break!)....

Taking a punt on today working out as planned, my Bidvest Premier Lounge office at JNB.... ah... but where to next @MARTINE?
Long queues for security and passport control but seemed to move relatively well.

Did anyone else see the Queen Elizabeth Stakes today at Randwick? Most amazing win by horse, Pride of Jenni, and rider Declan Bates. At one stage the horse was leading an estimated 103m!!! It really was something to see.
Before you ask, yes I backed PoJ yesterday.

Just saw this on the news

Well that is just a stupid statement. No not rigged. The jockey has received alot of criticism from other jockeys who did not see the break-away and react. The horse, Pride of Jenni, is a fast runner ( a forward horse) that cannot run at a slow pace. The jockey tried to reign the horse in but it took the bit and just kept going so the jockey held on.

Just held my breath. I took up horse racing when I got cancer and could not leave the house. I don't place large bets on the horses but I bet on alot of races, but only on Saturday afternoon. When I loose it is cheap entertainment.

Yes a likely story… that’s what the handicap system is for, or not. Let’s look at who made a killing the bets.

Well i am making a profit now 2 weeks out of 3 so I must be in on it.

Though back in the day when I was in the know the best way to rig a race was to have only 1 jockey or driver trying.

Good morning America
It is bloody freezing and we are about to stand out on some wind driven prairie to watch our grandson play soccer

The race was weight for age. The difference between 1st & 2nd was over $2million so I think the conspiracy theories may be wrong in this case
