For a dog who wears one of Bart Cumming’s eyebrows on his chin……
You make a damn fine tipster.
P.S.
I do rather like the look of El Demento.
If I ever buy a racehorse I am so calling him “Angry Muesli”
Poor ‘Bring the Screen’ - looks like a Picasso
Yay, I am the first pedant to comment on the ironic apostrophe error in the description of Apostrophes’ Lad! Go me!
I have it on the best authority that if Abbott’s Tackle doesn’t win and isn’t placed the owners have given instructions to have it gelded! Holy bazaammbo; could it happen?
Ironing Board is the dead spit of Jack the Insider.
Magical Underpants looks like a flounder, which could mean it is good in the wet or will just flounder.
Apo’strophes L’ad has the best trainer (Clam Crimply), so won’t win.
So, my tips are:
1. El Demento
2. Bong Smoking Underpants (late replacement)
3. The Ambulance
I fear Abbott’s T ackle will be too distracted by Oh My Sphincter to run his natural race.
It’s pi$$ing down so - go The Claminator! Oh yum, seafood, my favourite…
Wooden Spoon, out of Cake Mixture.
Dog, your form guide was right up there alongside Roy and HG’s calls of precious races where none of the actual horses was on the paddock. I think FD’s weight was right.
Meski, such a late call - and such a good one !
Well, we bet on nearly every horse with a vowel in it. No, really, anything running at 14-18 to 1 is good value for a place. $75 worth of bets and $79.50 worth of winnings. What a fuckin’ system ! Pure genius ! Every year - major Franklin’s advantage. This year the cup provided the chips. That makes us $200 down on the grog.
Rule #2 when they are marketing the arse of one particular trainer, a) bet on the trainers # 2 horse to place - and everything other than the favourite. This was clearly spotted by FD well in advance of the race - coz he’s a bloody genius and he talks to his mates who were running at Dapto, Second and Third Dogs.
Next year, my tip will be AOFH out of Desperation.
EMC, you have a very keen eye, Ironing Board is a dead ringer for Jack The Insider.
Love the whole thing from Kevin drawing Powerfox, to Glenn Milne drawing Destroy the Greens to Malcolm drawing Abbott’s Tackle.
Not wanting to rush into it, I just turned FD’s Calendar on to November.
Fd - without a doubt your finest work. The Hamsaladwrapistani uprising - overthrowing the Soapdishtopians was better than a Hoadley’s Violent Crumble Bar. The paramedics should be here any minute.
For all the so-called Dogonauts who didn’t buy the 2010 Calendar. YAH, SUCKS BOO !
I’m pretty sure that Manne over at the Pig’s Arms has a few cartons of the 2010 Calendar still available under the bar, but the price has rocketed any minute now
Having reminded self of Hoadley’s product - far superior to those pale imitations (Crunchies), I also remember that the worst imaginable confectionery experience is (for me - do you agree ?) a stale Pollywaffle. Geezus, what an oral disappointment those were.
My browser just crapped itself. I think it was the references to Abbott’s Tackle and Pollywaffles on the same page.
MIKE J: I’ve bought it, but haven’t received it.
All jokes aside, that is one helluva horse, Americain. Big deep chest well sprung ribs, intelligent head, good eye. Fantastic!
I digress; did Tabbott lose his tackle?
MESKI: Good one. Doubtless the sire was Cover Me?
I found Existential Crisis on the street all over the place and I have brought the d%$#@##8mned thing eventually back with some difficult running. Looking for Magical Underpants underpants for Xmas presents.
Size 22 - just in case, ‘Shoe !
That’s some staff you work with, FDOTM. Christmas parties must be an orgy of prescription drugs and buttock photocopying between prawns and bubbly. And a what were the sweep prizes?
Aye Aye! Mike Jones! I wrote at length on this very subject to Myers about the Movember T-shirts!!!! No XXL at Myers left, bought the only two!!!
First Dog, your people took a while to get back with the 2nd T-shirt I bought off your people and I am a poor match girl who needed the T- of the dog delivering the pizza to the simulated Landing on the Moon to send to a big son of mine!!!
Holden Back: Alas I suspect brooms and little trays.
