Sure am pyth, but in the form of the traditional sweep in the work place, all i know there are not many Aussie horses running, mainly overseas horses this tuesday, good luck with your betting.

There are many who believe that it is the last race in the world you should bet on.Every horse in it is an outstanding athelete & a champion.

But what the heck.I'll go down to the TAB & have 2 bob each way on every horse in the bloody race.

Good luck tomorrow Colleen.

Lost heaps on the local races sponsored by the pub, but Im sure I'll manage a flutter on the cup, just need to learn not to bet against myself...probably why I don't gamble much,
