WHY YOU DON'T SEND A WOMAN TO BUNNINGS!!!

A Bunning’s Story !

Charlie was installing a new door and found that one of the hinges was missing.



He asked his wife Mary if she would go to Bunnings and pick up a hinge.



Mary agreed to go.



While she was waiting for the nice young man to finish serving a customer,
her eye caught a beautiful bathroom vanity tap set...




When the man was finished, Mary asked him, "How much is that vanity set?




The young assistant manager replied, "That's a gold plated set and the price is $500.00."

Mary exclaimed, "My goodness, that is very expensive. It's certainly out of my price bracket."

She then proceeded to describe the hinge that Charlie had sent her to buy.

The manager said that he had them in stock and went into the storeroom to get one.

From the storeroom the manager yelled. "Lady, do you wanna screw for the hinge?"

Mary paused for a moment and then shouted back, "No, but I will for the vanity set."

This is why you can't send a woman to Bunnings!

NEW BABIES NEARLY READY TO GO.

In recent weeks we have taken a number of either unraced or lightly raced two year olds to trials and I have been very impressed with what I have seen them produce. While some have had one start earlier in the season and may have pulled up a bit shin sore or were not ready to do much more, others have gone to the trials for the first time and have been showing plenty of potential.

A classic example of this was our first starter at Ascot on Wednesday called EXCLUSIVE HONOUR. This colt had one trial earlier in the season before having a spell and was having his first start after an impressive trial performance at Lark Hill a few weeks ago. Obviously the trial did not impress anyone else as the colt stepped out at 20/1 on Wednesday even after substantial stable support. He failed by just on a length to run down the odds on favourite and will derive plenty of benefit from the run.

Last Monday we took a few babies to the Belmont trials and I was very happy with what I saw. LITTLE LARRIKIN was an impressive winner of a 1000m trial in good time and he is a young horse to follow. PATRIOTIC CAUSE won her short trial in good style while DUE PROCESS showed that she should not be a maiden for long with her strong finish in winning her short trial. Another impressive trial winner on the day was CHARCOAL ROSE and as the name suggests, this pitch black leggy filly will not take long to impress at the race track. Another horse to mark down in the black book for later in the year is a late developing gelding called SPEED DEMON. This horse is a half brother to my useful galloper SMOKIN DRAGON and I like the way he finished off his trial.

On Monday we take another handful of young horses to the trials and there are a few who promise to make the grade. FLEIS, BABY GLAM and SWING are all unraced and trialling over the short trip, while CHARCOAL ROSE and SAXON ARMADA are stepping out over the 1000m journey. Later in the day we have two unraced 3yo's trialling named RICHITRIM LASS and OUT SPOKEN LADY. The jury is still out on these two however we should have a better idea after the trial on Monday.

Tomorrow we take three runners to the races and all are capable of finishing in the money.

BUSY SATURDAY AHEAD

Tomorrow looks like being a busy day for our stables and all going well it could be a profitable day. For the first time in quite a long time we head to the races with six runners and from my assessment of them, thy all have a chance of picking up some prizemoney.

We start off the day with the last start first up winner LACIE in race two followed by another last start winner TERADA in race four. Both horses have trained on well since they won and both should be hard to beat again tomorrow.

We then have two runners in the Sires Produce with LETHAL JONES and VALLEY GIRL both set to run mighty races. VALLEY GIRL ran a very impressive race last start when running home strongly from a wide barrier to run sixth in the recent Karrakatta Plate. She delivered the fastest last 600m for the race and if she can repeat the effort she will be in the finish. LETHAL JONES may lack experience however I wouldn't underestimate him but it may be a bit early for him tomorrow.

Our next runner is the long priced runner CHIRON in the W.A. Derby. Although he is still a maiden, I would not be scared to have something each way on him tomorrow. The 2400m will suit as will the better barrier draw. If the top two chances have any chink in their armour, don't be surprised if this guy finds it.

We close the day with a newcomer to the stable, SWORD MASTER. I did train the horse for a few months a couple of years ago before the horse required surgery and a long spell. The horse ran a great race last start when we saddled him up for Esperance trainer Rod Kirkup and the horse has done well since he has been back under my care. If I can get him to repeat of his last performance we should see the horse run a nice race and finish in the money.

All in all it looks like being a busy day with little time to socialise however I am sure that a winner or two will see us have a celebratory drink later that day. Happy punting to all.
