Robert Thompson Cup Day 3.12.17

His fathers name was apparently Thomp

Worthy of a mention.
Just watched the Milko's go'round in the City of Laaawnincest Cup.
Fav from E.Stewart camp 1st up since Jan 2017 and over 2700 metres.
The better than bank interest purists licked up the 1.30 on offer
It led after maybe 60 metres and won like those things at Globe Derby where the margins are measured in 1/4:1/2 or 3/4 of lap.
Even the older than Betfair Qlder please give me some Dextrous went around(at least it didn't have to pull around a certain grandfather who can't get enough air in the gigs tyres just to stop them bottoming out.)
A great effort against the milko's non the less.

"Robert Thompson is a professional jockey."

Scroll down a few posts, i'm not making a comment on the veracity of the claim.

bhll
Might be looking at the wrong one but if it's about Hi-Ho silver he was always the one who had a minuscule amount of Conscience re:taking hoot from the uninformed.But like all Scorpions(can't change the way I am)at one stage he contemplated adding a Casino wing(high rollers) to Mona.
I think with age and continued guaranteed profit courtesy of rebates and a realization that 99% of Gamblers are at his and Z's mercy he can no longer watch as people continue the mind-numbing activity of whack ting ting ting.
Won't change anything though way toooo much money(revenue/taxes)for any Gov't to also get a conscience.

I think he is referring to the post the one a couple further down eight balls

Got it now Joel
Thanks Joel
Silly me how could i miss something sooo obvious and Topical
Glaring at me right there
yep there it is . . .The Hubble story.

The one after that :P

Speaking of topical:

"All the other women in the office are suing you for sexual harassment ----Since you have not sexually harassed me I am suing you for discrimination"  (with appropriate cartoon)
