A formal invitation is also extended to Jim Value Bet.
A great opportunity to give the world a free demonstration of his "rare talent", heading into Spring. |

There are no day-time footy finals on
 Extra seating will be provided in the Forum on Saturday (at a safe distance from the dart-board) |

Cmon, Letsy.
 Obviously a special day and a great opportunity for you to help the raceday thread. |

No AFL finals? Thank Jehovah.....the exchange needs that casual punter money on a Saturday to make it a Saturday!

well it's not a CUP ... but why the hell not
Race horse Let's Elope was foaled in 1987 and was by Nassipour out of the mare Sharon Jane who was by Battle Waggon.  |

Lots of names I don't recognise, here's what I do:
Race 1 Can't pot Sabatini, got some size and pissed in at Caulf. T Dolly has always had a wrap but never impressed me when I've seen it (didn't see her on debut)...hmmmmm Been waiting ages for More Radiant. Looked ordinary on debut and went terrific. Backed her in Sydney at odds and went great. Smells classy, hope she looks close on Saturday. |

Pretty p1ss poor that some clown can buzz off for the winter because the horses hair is too long and then come back and think they own the forum. Especially on Cairns Amateurs Cup Day.

The Far North Queensland Amateur Turf Club was founded in 1959 as a coastal version of the historical Oak Park races and as a way of bringing city and country together.
The brainchild of the Late Sir Sydney Williams OBE and Les Gallagher, the first Cairns Amateur Carnival was held on 18th & 19th September 1959. |

Race 2
Zabeelionaire ONLY  to be backed as a saver - if he looks well enough- "always" does  They freshened Marksmanship up before his last run and he looked a little burly. Prob exactly what they'd hoped for in trying to re-start his prep thru Spring....ran really well that day. Htb Masked Marvel caught my eye the other day and was unsighted? 2000m? watch |

 i've had 2 years practice at this whoopi ... i'm ready to go when a CUP gets mentioned i reckon there's only 3 to 12 country towns left that we haven't covered  plus ... if joel posted at 10:18:01 ... and i posted at 10:20:59 then it would be almost 3 minutes  |

Lets wants it this way, Joel. Especially on Lets Elope Stakes Day, show some respect

Any danger of throwin a dart or two at the races?
I have a throw even if I'm betting coins and don't like the race. So there |

Race 3
Ominous looked and ran really well first up. Stayer? lookin for further Signoff looked really big at Caulfield. Be surprised if he hasn't markedly improved....but enough? The United States. Looked great at his cameo last prep, looked "pretty" but well enough for me to backhim first at The Valley. Went terrific......with natural improvement...KEEN |

that's the nature of the threads Spoon ... best to get the peripheral banter out of the way early and crikey .. it's ... Wednesday ffs i'm still juggling about putting up thoughts at 10 in the morning on the actual raceday |

Perhaps just work out who is sitting next to who ,,,on the bus ride in....Who gets the window seat to hang out of....who gets to roll jaffles down the aisle of the bus etc....

Race 4.
Merion looked pretty close the other day and went good. Chivalry and Divan both lovely horses with high aims and both pretty forward for their first up wins.... Do Lloyds often win 2 in a row?  gonna be a spectacle this one. |

Race 5
Gregers I've let her go around without me at short odds this prep...still improving to my eye Commanding Jewel had lots of improvement to come from her first up appearance. Ominous Bonaria. Really impressed with her last two m y appearances in races even I know are too short. Spose she's never gonna be running in anything "easy"  ..... won't be far away, methinks. |

Race 6
Phew!! Gotta feeling this one will provide some really handsome specimens If Rich Enuff takes natural improvement from The Valley run he's on the way to looking like an oil painting.Might be my new "Polanski"....we'll see. |
|
By:
Now looking like a dart board thread...
With repsect TINS ....not sure if any one can relate to your comments cause relate to events in 3 days time.... |
|
By:
Past invites (TO ALL AND SUNDRY) still stand, Henry.
I think suggesting Jim needs to show some skills before a race is.......... an understatement I'm an amateur....It seems Jim's a pro. In different galaxies, we remain. |
|
By:
My "observations" are but "atmosphere" Henry.
You can't see the balloons and streamers so I've gotta show something!! |
|
By:
I think many things are posted on Jim's behalf by his PR machine....
Maybe they are aliens who pick winners by going back to the future.... Still not sure why a 88% Kingston Town cant beat a 98 % Speedy Snail Oh well.... Will wait for the bus seating arrangements to come out.... |

Will wait for the bus seating arrangements to come out.... Lets Elope is in the "Pope Mobile" style appendage, newly added to the roof of the bus. You and Joel are locked in the toilet with your shoelaces tied together, jumpers pulled over your heads . DoubleAgent is driving. |

Henry, Jim is a scammer who preys on the feeble of mind. Logic doesn't apply.....I may have mentioned that before.

Race 7
Backed Dissident, saved on Spillway , P D Lune, and Sertorius at their last outings and Boban looked well the other day too. Hmmm. This will be tough........like splittin hairs.... |

Race 8
Apart from the hairy Flamberge it's a complete mystery. I did spot Charlie Boy from the yard when he won first? up at Flem last prep....  Gawd, what a terrific race |

Race 9 Apart from being impressed by and on the R T Spare bandwagon last prep.....I got nuttin |
