[sam_d]

I won $60 on my $5 sweep at work. :D

That's $60 towards the next thing that goes wrong on my Disco. :(

[DaveS3]

Bet $20 and won $20.

Just means I had to pay for the beer and not the TAB.

I had a win, well sort of I broke even on the cup but then on the way home when my DC joint decided to die I was only doing 30kph so the damage was minimal. Is that a win or a loose?

You got home okay?

GQ

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Yup a bit greasy and ****ed off I missed the party. Due to my CDL setup (only in low range) it was a slow trip for the 3km's home but I'm here. with yet another dent in the chassis rails and the gearbox sump.

[dobbo]

No it may happen to yours too, I now a few toorak tractors it has happened to. I have had very few problems with my TD5 and this is the first time that it has momentarilly halted my progress.

Stuff the Cup and stuff the VRC and the federal Ag minister too. Scumbag redeployed 4000 EI vaccinations to Victoria for friggin race horses which were supposed to go to buffer zones in NSW and Qld to prevent the Bloody horse flu spreading further. Then they redirected 10,000 doses in NSW to bloody track horses and the buffer zones had to wait longer again. Now it's spreading further and faster, people are losing houses and properties as they have no work and just because the friggin race horse people think they're special... :mad: :mad: :mad:

The damn thoroughbred race horse and breeding industry comprises less than 20% of the entire horse industry but by golly gosh they have some pull, but they have no friends in the rest of the horse world (or the DPI) now........ :mad: :mad: :mad:

Got $40 for Mahler's 3rd:D
Got $10 for Moreton Bay 3rd in the 8th:D

So $10 up over all.

Then got a $50 parking fine when I came out after work:mad:

[jimbo110]

Good to see a Kiwi horse won :D

[JohnE]

That great, nearly everyone had a win,
I kept $200.
kept where, in my pocket of course.
my cup money.
had to go to Geln Inees yesterday to pick up a car from in laws.
bus and train from here, but !!!!!
anyone ever caught an xpt, they are never on time, an hour late, which added an hour to everything, got off the bus at glen, and virtually ran down the road to the TAB, which had vanished and wasn' t there anymore, then ran to the central, just as the horses were about to break. then watched the race.
cheapest bet I ever made, and cryed because I had picked the winner and the 3 others.


never mind always next year.
