Today: Meetings at the Pakenham money pit and Narromine goat track so no POOMAs today. If you haven't seen it then it's worth having a look at the layout of the Narromine track. It's shaped like a square with rounded corners and consequently favours on pace runners. And do you know where Narromine is? It's half way to Buggery. How do I calculate that? Well, it's a given that Broken Hill is Buggery (ask anyone who lives there). Pick a point on the eastern seaboard, say Newcastle, and draw a line straight to Broken Hill. The mid point is Narromine, thus half way to Buggery. I have a spectacularly bad record at picking winners there so I'm not going to mark the two Narromine selections in spite of the fact that they come from a system with a 50%+ strike rate. You're on your own at Pakenham. The only good thing one can say about today's meeting is that there aren't any of those bastard ratings-based races that are impossible to pick.
Yesterday: Our POOMA got home yesterday paying a handy $5. I did notice one performance worth following, which was the win of Sleepy Jackson in the first at the Sunshine Coast. Shane Scriven never really got into it and he cruised away to win by a space in an exhibition gallop. The ones behind were probably no good but he looked a likely type regardless.
