Hope it's not to wet tomorrow. Heading down for my 51st birthday, just me, Kelly, Mum & Dad.
The last time we went to Belmont on my birthday was my 30th.... and boy oh boy, what a day!
We jagged the tri in race 4 with a boxed 1, 5, & 8 (Dads ''lucky'' numbers) that paid over $6k. Telling Rio about this earlier and I just thought, ****, Mum n' Dad were my age (today) that day
:-O
May explain Mum drinking the spilled Moe off the table that day
@-)
But that was only the beginning trendsetters... we backed the 2nd half of the card... Dad still has the racebook!

No qauddies in those days and I really can't remember how we were betting, just recall waking up and finding a small amount in my wallet and thinking ****... what happened?!
It was like Hangover!
I found Kellys bag and it was bulging with pineapples... all good!
Here's hoping for a repeat!
I like Paul Harveys 2 yo mounts and will be backing both of those.
Race 1 - Euphonius 12/1
Race 2 - Snowchino 4/1
Sticking with Pikey on the fave in Race 3 at evens.
Race 4... number 4 is a monty for me. 4 is my number.
It's Race 4 at 1424hr paying 4/1 with Pikey on board..... lock it in.
Race 5 - Apollo (stars ;) ) at 4's from barrier 4.
Race 6 - Dawn Mission - #4 barrier 4, ran 4th last start.
Race 7- I'm just going to box 6 in the tri here... what 6? Beer will tell me.
Race 8 - It has to be the old boys race 8 number 8 theory with Paul Harvey in the saddle. Was far from disgraced in the Guineas and 4/1 looks good to me.

Harvey fell off the fave at the start and the riderless horse inconvenienced the field... except for Lyric Maid. It was 8 in front at the turn, with the riderless horse causing chaos. I thought she was going to hang on.... what would it have paid if she'd won?
Probably the same.. there was a full... or half divvy then. Doubt the pool would have been over 20k in 97.
Happy Birthday Skids <:-P <:-P
I think you have 2 winners in Apollo and Lickety Split. Hope they get up for us.
Enjoy your day mate and a few frothy's in the rain
