Wow I've waited for this moment for almost a year and of course missed it.

Cheers to The Jackal, Esquire, who finally did get that 14th win the other day.

So happy for him and for his connections.

The older he gets the more he enjoys one special win per year.

(His last win had been last February and before that, March of 09 and before that...)

Sorry to read just now that BB pulled up lame. Hope he's alright.

Good luck to anyone playing tonight.

Only 2 races for me...

A win bet in R5 @ Sandown (#6, The Miniver Rose) and a tri in R6 @ Randwick (6/1,2/1,2,5).

(I really am rooting for Coinston Bluebird at this point, but...

I think I'll always be a little guilty for not being thrilled that he won the Derby in NZ. It was such a Giacomo moment).
