ANSWER: A PINEAPPLE!

Johnny Tapp used to say the answer was a pineapple when there really wasn't one, or only one that you accepted because you couldn't find anything better.

And when the punter came through the gate he cloaked his head and put on a pineapple.

Or was it a pumpkin?

Anyway, that's the answer to the query I posed for you last Friday. That horse didn't win, so the bookies creamed the lot. And there were reduced odds owing to scratchings. Bad luck bettors!

As to unlucky? No it didn't look to be. Just not good enough to reel in the winner.

And we're left wondering about the strength of the plunge. Still, we might just a little bit wiser!

By the way have you noticed the filly (one word) Alittlebitofmonica? She has now won three on end, the third being last weekend.

A cute bit of naming indeed. Check out the dam.

This weekend commences the month many punters dread.

July, the dead month, they say. No big names and no big races.

Let me remind you of something:

A $15 winner at Woop Woop pays exactly the same as a $15 winner of the Melbourne Cup.

And although it won't do as much for our egos, it will be a darn sight easier to find!
