Letter of the Week

Shocking attack unwarranted

 

Mondayexpertitis: a pathetic condition grievously afflicting many. Genius comments after races are mostly worthless words from losers who lack courage and high ability.

Rexy (19/3) implies I tipped Shocking as a "lay" in the Australian Cup, which was a Group 3 standard race but called Group 1.

In point of fact, I was all over Shocking like stink on a monkey, due to a variety of situations, including soft rivals. I did, however, criticise Shocking’s absurd Melbourne Cup handicap of 57kg and stated precisely, months before the race, why he was no chance — he was thrashed.

I easily stand on my public record, freely tipping many lay bets beforehand in Winning Post.

I, and I daresay many other Winning Post readers, await Rexy and (another letter writer) Ken Wood proving they have some credibility (currently they have none) by publicly tipping horses before races, like I’ve done many times ... boldly, accurately, and profitably!
