Derby Quarter Finals

Fuck me, had a nightmare last while. Not got a penny to my name, and Perth Races didn't help when none of us picked a fucking winner! Was a disaster! And my internet has been off the last 3 or 4 days.

Had my last exam some time last week, can't even remember what day. Had some sort of illness running up to it and was actually touch and go as to whether I made the exam. In the end I ran the risk of shitting my pants in the exam!!!

Thennnnnnnnnn, I couldn't watch the 3rd round of the Greyhound Derby cos the live stream wasn't working on the gf's laptop. Looking at the results I had some hits and some misses and look forward to the Quarter Finals tomorrow (Tuesday).

After cracking out last time Love Tiger seems to have stumbled out in his 3rd round race and failed to qualify when it could only finish a very disappointing 5th. If this dog could trap consistently then it could be a super dog. My dreams of Farley Legend winning at 500/1 ended at this stage too when it could only finish 4th in the same heat. It led til the run in where it lacked a finish and this also happened in a previous round so it could be that 460m is best for this dog.

So, 24 dogs remain at the QF stage and I have 4 still running. Melodys Pat (14/1) and Barnfield Woody (50/1) won their 3rd round heats and now face off in the 2nd QF. Kryptonite (12/1) was headed in the 3rd round by Blonde Dino and runs in the 4th QF on Tuesday. Barnfield Slippy (20/1) runs in the 3rd QF.

Looking at the QF draw I don't like Slippy or Woody's draws and can't say I'm confident of either getting through. Fingers crossed though.

Right, I'm off to find a job. Any suggestions?
