    Yesterday close adjusted for divie was 132.9 (XD)

    So at 130 we’re down 2.2%

    Probably didn't help that some old mutt called it a heavily handicapped nag this morning
    Its all good because if Phar Lap can carry 68 kg's and win the 1931 Melbourne cup this one can be a winner too

    One problem Phar Lap didn't place in the first 3 in 1931 Melb Cup in his last race in Australia

    Phar Lap won the 1930 Melbourne Cup I’m sure that is what Beagle was referring to unfortunately it got 8th in 1931

    I'm a bit of a freshie at this, does chasing divies really work out? Seems like price drops instantly as soon as share goes exdiv. Are you trying to sell before price drops if you missed it gains would be small if any? Am I missing something ��

    Won when lightly weighted in 1930 and my grandad told me he was a ‘heavily weighted nag’ like OCA is when he ran down the track in 1931

    But luckily history not always a good indicator of future fortunes.

    Percy just ran a great race for third in the 7th at Wingatui ,,,3 bucks a place OK but would’ve preferred the 10 bucks a win but like Oceania it’ll keep …there’s always a next time.

    I don't know who the Phar Lap of the NZX is, but I wouldn't think it would be OCA.OCA have been travelling more like an average maiden who needs to find some fitness

    Oh dear that's a bit ominous. Carried a massive 68 kg's that year.

    Too old to find fitness …..like they said in the old days one more chance before being sent to Newtown (like the zoo as meat for the lions)
