The End of Winston

As I mow the lawns listening to the racing coming in from Caulfield and Randwick and eight other Australian venues; and as I reflect on the millions of speculation dollars flowing across the Tasman into the Aussie industry as our racecourses lay dormant,  I am slightly warmed by the prospect of the end of Winston, at last.

His industry backers now have no reason to fund him.The Deputy Prime Minister, the great Saviour of the racing industry, couldn't persuade the PM to do what the Australians managed. He is redundant.

Horse racing in Australia, do they have punters on the course or is it done for television?
Have you backed any winners?

No,yes,yes. And some losers too. More of the latter but doesn't spoil the fun and escapism. Hubby tells me the Sallies are wringing their hands over on-line gambling. What did they expect? It's one of the only avenues for making money for many people.

Meanwhile my 5 percenter will be in the field getting fat.
