Weekend Hussler seems about right. He hustled the crap out of bookies across the country yesterday landing a Newmarket Group 1 at Flemington and leaving a cast of bookies crying into their bags. You ok bookies? You ok guys? You finished licking your wounds yet?

It was a very good win, especially with the weight he carried and holding out a battling Magnus, who fought all the way to the line. But I am a little perplexed by statements made by a so called sports journalists on ABC1’s sports show, Offsiders, claiming that he is now the “best sprinter in the world”. Unfortunately, I do not know the journalists name otherwise I would publish it here with the biggest slur I could come up with. Lucky break there you no named niffer. When he beats Takeover Target, Miss Andretti and Apache Cat I may accept your thoughts, but until then keep your comments about sport limited to your local school’s cross country.

I am happy anyway, my $50 sports bet on Weekend Hussler into Hot Danish returned a tidy $208 and assisted in my turning a reasonable profit in a full day on the punt.

In other news I giggled into my beer at the story of a confused punter who put a $5000.00 bet on Zipping to win the Newmarket yesterday. He must have confused the actual 1200 meters of the race with the 2200 meters in his dreams and it cost him five grand. Please come to me for your next bet Zipping lover, I promise some juicy odds for you.
