All Tips Win

By Jack McInerney

One of the best things about getting a ‘tip’ off someone is planning what you are going to do with the winnings. East Maitland Bricklayer Dave Collins has just walked off site on a Friday arvo at 3:01pm and has just got a ‘inside tip’ from a mate who said his Aunties netball coaches ex partner was talking to the trainer and to quote the text “He said its gonna fuckin piss in”.

Now don’t get this confused with one of them tales of a viral text message doing the rounds, the latest being PHONDLE who was literally never a hope for 1 stride. The difference between this tip and those tips is those tips lost, but this tip WILL win.

As Saturday rolls around and the race gets closer Big Dave starts to get butterflies in his stomach, or it could be the untreated stomach ulcers he suffers from, at this stage still not 100% clear but anyway the feeling is there. The ‘tip’, an unraced 6yo gelding by Zariz is currently paying $51 – for from the $21 Big Dave Took on Sportsbet. But fear not, All Tips Win.

The race comes and goes and the ‘tip’ never got closer than 11th in the 12 horse field. Big Dave loses his $100, the $2100 payday never eventuated. Dave cracks a beer and takes a long guzzle and sighs. But don’t listen to the haters, when it comes to Horse Racing, All Tips Win.
