Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

### - our old friend Smarty Wild is running again tomorrow :)

31110 Smarty Wild @ 5/1 3:40 Exeter...

won 3 times in a row and then nada last time out

sporting life gives this on him:
Low-mileage 5yo who completed hat-trick in February/March (middle leg over C&D); ran poorly when back in action at Cheltenham last month (trainer
could offer no explanation) but remains open to further improvement if
back on song.

no explanation eh? (riiiight...)

just had an off-day? someone slipped him some valium? or the jocky was instructed to hold it back maybe? ;)

am guessing would be fav this time otherwise, but is now 2nd fav?

this is a good horse! won 3 in a row! (and has a great name to boot! heh)

should win now unless knobbled again :)

### - he must have had an off-day then haha ;)

have had one winner today though:

Allmankind @ 9/2

had to back it with a name like that huh, and it won too! :)

and 'coz we're all in this boat together whether we likes it or not!

a lot of 'em are poor travelers too; staggering about gettin' seasick & everything lol...

and that's on a calm day! (haha)

(been below-decks too long this lot, even just the fresh air makes 'em
sick?)

the scurvy swabs! lol :)))

look lively down below! it ain't over yet!

one strong push now might just get us out of these damned doldrums!

ROW! (laffing + thinking of that scene in waterworld haha...)

ROW! :)))

### - oh well another day of hard slog over heh, and only the one winner (allmankind)

also had a go at the football charts today, they go nuts here over
football at the weekends hah...

the idea being to accumulate a number of, what looks to be, winning teams,
each match being like a 3-horse race that can either win, lose or draw...

obviously, some teams have a greater chance of winning depending on whom
their playing against, a high ranking team playing against a bunch of
nobodys, usually showing odds-on sp's...

the idea then being to accumulate all these blatant 'bankers' till they
start showing some good numbers...

today, for example, i picked 14 teams, all 'should-be' winners for one
good reason or another (e.g., playing against a far lesser team on their
own home ground) some of the odds for these teams being really low, like
4/11 and shit?

nevertheless, at 14 teams the numbers were now accumulating to around 600+
to one, and with the free bet-boost added this took it out to 980/1!

i put �1 on it anyway heh, a pound gets ya 1000 seemed like a fair bet?

anyway, only 8 of them won, the other 6 being a mixture of losses &
draws...

didn't win then heh, but it was still a good bet! all those teams should
have won! they were absolutely all, effectively, the best horse (the
odds-on fav) each time in a 3-horse race!

it's unusual for a top ranking team to lose to a far lower ranking team
innit, 2 top teams against each other more likely resulting in maybe a
draw or an unpredictable win from either side because they're both well matched, but in ill-matched teams the better team should win!

that's the theory anyway heh...

and didn't work today at any rate lol

but it's still a bet i like + sometimes ya only needs 10 or 12 top teams
to make up similar good or even better numbers!

all ya needs to win is one weekend outta the year when all the 'top' teams you've picked brings home the bacon? (there's always about 60 or 70
matches to choose from every saturday here, so not limited for choice)

and it's a cheap bet :)

### - ohhh... had one little winner today? smile...

Battle Of Midway @ 7/2 :)

had to back that innit hah, wot with all this chat about the midway point?

didn't have nuthin' to go with it tho' other than 2 places, so nada back...

but then a win's still a win innit? ;)

battle of midway hah!

Fukuto - #4 horse in the warwick 2.40 @ 22/1

hahaha :)))

i think they are going to call the race for Thursday
at Del Mar, they are afraid of the rain hurting the track
or something. They don't want anymore horses to die.

### - lol they only close a track here if/when it's totally waterlogged
haha :)

so sometimes ya gots horsies in gumboots no less! (well not really heh)

some of 'em being much stronger under heavy-going instead of the faster
going? so it pays to remember their form; i.e., the ground softens up some
and out comes slugger to the fore while everyone else is held back
struggling with the mud, can often spot an outsider that way when the
weather changes, and vise-versa :)

'fukuto' @ 22/1 didn't make it (thank goodness lol)

and wont be backing his brother: 'fukdalotofyas' either if he ever turns
up too hehe...

ahhh it's a mugs game really! (what i always says when they lose haha...)

the chances of ever comin' out ahead are indeed minor?

but have also had some incredible wins too :)

again in the context of WILDing and these videos + moi
worrying/fussing-over whether am doin' ok etc

'Watchable' @ 22/1 (yaay)

didn't have anything (i.e. min. 2 more) to go with it, so no returns...

but is still a nice catch, and somewhat encouraging to-boot ;)

oh well back to work...

I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long
The future is coming on

... Keeping it in a bag till needed.
