AREN'T YOU GLAD IT WAS FOR FUN?

Well, they all ran awfully.

Happy Glen led and collapsed. Never won first up, and regardless of being early TAB favourite he showed no fight and ran about fifteenth.

Our Billy Blue had a charmed run and did nothing. Heavily supported favourite and ran sixth after Peter Robl gave him an absolute gem of a ride..

Black Piranha increased his mile record to none from eleven, with a poor effort in Group One after being talked up. He'll win and knock you out one day - that's his style. Will it be over 1600? I doubt it.

This was not especially clever negative nomination on my part. I handpicked the likely suspects. But it's worth doing. Whenever you feel confident, and you're at the stage of putting YOUR money down, take a moment or two and ask yourself honestly what can STOP your choice from winning.

If the answers stare you in the face and are strong, there's always another race!

And much of the time you'll have more money in your kick at the end of the day.
