Oh goodie! As we creep towards another big weekend of horse racing action, only one of my horses in my current field are actually going to be involved. Worse, it's one that mysteriously disappeared that round so my hopes of it doing anything good this time are slim.
Still, I have 1.8 million dollars in the kitty to play with again so what could possibly go wrong here?
STILL RACING, POSSIBLY IN LAST PLACE
I LIKE BIG PUTTS - Scratched last week but apparently right to rock and roll this week, here's hoping those big putts finally pay off. (Doubtful but you've got to be positive really when you're a million dollar horse trader..)
WE WELCOME BACK TO THE FOLD THIS WEEK:
PROBABEEL - Won for me last time, welcomed back with a big bag of tasty organic carrots this round. Go you good thing!
WHICH LEAVES THE NEW BLOODS:
BEGOOD TOYA MOTHER - The name? No idea but it seems reminiscent of random gibberish named company you can buy random bits and pieces from out of Aliexpress. 27TB hard drive from Begood Toya Mother? For $126 AUD what could possibly go wrong with this baby! I'm expecting to be surprised with this one but I'm not sure if it's going to be a good or a bad one yet..
GOOD IDEA - Well the name sold me, who doesn't like a good idea?
FREE OF DEBT - I've been here before, I'm working towards it once again so this horse name radiates with me. And no I'm not betting huge money on it on the off chance it does win and instantly makes me free of debt..

| Prophet the comic character in case you're wondering.. |
MORE PROPHETS - Look I've never been in a scenario ever where I've uttered the words 'Well you know what we need here? More prophets!' But that's not to say I won't in the future..
DOSH - I like Dosh. I like lots of Dosh. I've just paid for my wife's car rego and a safety check on her Lancer which means I have a bit less Dosh than usual this week so here's hoping Dosh wins and I get more dosh points on the board because of it..
STERN IMPULSE - More the rock solid impulse to get stuff done than the 90's deodorant of the same name. Hopefully it has the impulse to win! That would be nice.
AND A BRAND NEW JOCKEY TOO!
T.HOPE - T for Thalia, she's set to race this weekend. How many horsies? I didn't check. Winning form? Didn't look. But hopefully she can turn this trend of super low jockey scores around for team Much Horsepower..
Right, now that the field is locked in and the druids are lining up to be sacrificed by the goats (no wait..) bring on the weekend and hopefully a tonne of racing points here!
Update on the way, stay tuned!
AND THE RESULTS ARE IN!
And like a drunken fry up at 3am, things are best described as....er....problematic interesting. From the top to the dark depths we go:
BEGOOD TOYA MOTHER - 24 POINTS - Of course the horse with the stupidest name out of all of them would have the best performance of the lot, landing in a very handy second place, why wouldn't it?
PROBABEEL - 14 POINTS (X2) - Started in barrier 5, came in 5th place. Scored doubled due to being the captain of the team this week but still not the greatest.
DOSH - 8 POINTS - Yeah things really start to peter out from here with Dosh coming in 6th..
STERN IMPULSE - 6 POINTS - Another 6th place for Much Horsepower but since it's a lower graded race, it's a lower graded score.
I LIKE BIG PUTTS - 4 POINTS - Finally the horse with the greatest name races, finally. Unfortunately the week off hasn't helped as it lobs in 9th..
GOOD IDEA and FREE OF DEBT - 2 POINTS - An 8th and a 10th position in any race does not a champion stable make. Sigh. Seems GOOD IDEA wasn't such a good idea after all..
T. HOPE - Came in 10th, no points there. Yet again we're going to need another jockey..
Which means...
We might be in 3rd place for a while now after this round... :/
Up next: Cup day? What cup day?
