A little off topic but funny you mention stables darky. There was a thread maybe 3-4 months ago talking about having a stable of horses and backing them only after being 3 runs into their prep and following them if they met certain criteria with some loss recovery.

I didn't really try it for very long or give it much of a chance and only ever added one horse to my black book to follow. I'd completely forgot about it until last week I got an email about Melburg running on the wednesday (i thinkit was?). Obviously wouldn't have qualified as I think it was its first run back from a spell but it won at $50 - I didn't back it.

Anyway off topic but was quite amusing last week, just thought i'd share given the talk of a stable.
