ASCOT 9th DECEMBER - Kingston Town Day
West Australian Racing

Towton Cup is the weakest field in my lifetime.
It's Somewhat looks a certainty for me in the Kingston Town Classic but I would not discount All Our Roads as the danger at very inviting each way odds.
Roughie for the day is Our Mate Al in the last. Was warmed up very late last start and each way all day for me at long odds.

Couldn’t get black heart bart a danger? @-)
It's Somewhat and Black Hart Bart look far above and beyond the rest of the field in the feature race.
Nothing on the program however will spark the interest of anyone with a pulse. I'm glad I have an excuse to be working night shift.

Yay for positivity
I actually have little interest other than horses I have purchased for Sam and those numbers are in decline as well. I don’t go to the city tracks other than the occasional trial. Night shift has the most impact on that anyway.

when once upon a time people had huge interests and then they don't give a stuff; would you not wonder why?
it does not just happen,usually there will be reasons for it.
i couldn't give a stuff about racing either, but i am confident i contributed much much more to it's running through my betting taxes, than most people would have.
and now for a question.
what are the positives for racing?
how does it make the world a better place?
isn't it about money and betting and nothing else?
take the betting away and you would have your answer.
and also the only reason racing exists, because without those mugs( i apologise for calling you all mugs!!) it withers on the vine.
although if i was honest i have probably never cared much about racing, it was just something i did.

i also reckon pike has buckley's and none of winning it.
and i usually really like 3yo's against the older ones, but it looks too much of a jump too soon to me
so maybe that's the one to be on?

Makes the world a better place by fulfilling the human need for engagement in something other than the normal day to day grind that is life. Not everyone can lead a fulfilled life by hugging trees every weekend.
All pastimes cost money at least with racing and the punt there is a chance (however small) of getting some back. If it was just about the punt, racing would have disappeared long ago and we would be punting on automated races (ala Trackside) which are a hell of a lot cheaper to put on.
Despite the never ending doom and gloom, racing will provide entertainment for a fair while yet and those who enjoy it are generally the sort of people I enjoy being around.
