Oh good, it’s that crazy fella again

Ah, here we are, the last bloody month of the year.

Thank crap, because when you’re lumped in the position I somehow always seem to find myself in, there’s nothing enjoyable about December.

Or January.

Or February.

Or March.

Heck, didn’t Neil Sedaka have a song like this?

Ah yes, the Calendar Boy.

Anyway, here’s whatever Crazy Craig sent me this week…. Hopefully he brought his Good Luck Charm!

P(r)ick No.1: Vilania (No.2, Barrier 6) in Race 6 at Caulfield (MR5), 3pm AEDT

1400m Group 3 WFA Heffernan Stakes

Trainer: James Cummings, Jockey: Jamie Kah, 59kg

Hello hello hello friends it’s Craaaazy Craig TBFB, back for another quick one or two this week because I’m so caught up in my charitable purposes, which means I barely get any time to actually sit down and read the bloody form, let alone write my thoughts out!

Anyway, the weather’s been shithouse in Victoria of late, as you’ve no doubt heard about on your zombie boxes, and after examining the fields, if you want a mudlark at Caulfield on Zipping Classic Day…

THEN VILANIA IS YOUR MUDLARK – 5 WINS FROM 7 STARTS ON HEAVY TRACKS.

On another note, Vilania… isn’t she married to Donald Trump?

The Vance Joy P(r)ick: Ripcord (No.15, Barrier 7) E/W in The Winterbottom Stakes at Ascot (PR9), 5:20pm AWST

1200m WFA Group 1

Trainer: Luke Fenrie, Jockey: Clint Johnston-Porter, 54.5kg

No idea why I went with Ripcord to beat Overpass, but as you all know I like to be a bit different 23% of the time, so I’ll take the odds off the back of that superb win in the Placid Ark Stakes, a performance that even the horse the race was named after would’ve admired.

5-6 lengths off the leader at the 100m, and he’s just RIPPED clean through on the line.

Actually, I’ve just checked back and had a look at the name Ripcord….

Wasn’t that a song by that unhappy bloke that played footy for Coburg?

That’s right, Vance Joy!

Lady, running down to the Ripcord
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man!
I love you when you’re singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
‘Cause you’re gonna sing the words wrong!
