Butterfly wings and Tsunami.

A highly technical, subjective debate. I prefer more down to earth examples of cause and effect; things the common man can readily understand. For instance, the click of a switch which launches a holocaust; or, the small, sharp tap of the conductors baton before a full orchestra bursts into glorious sound.

Dare I imagine that the sibilant rustle of paper being shuffled by a Senate committee secretariat in Canberra heralds the long awaited beginning of the demise of a truly evil empire? There’s money for it; reasonable odds for the punter early in the piece; and, some of the more adventurous IOS & BRB souls have already taken a plunge. Fair warning though; those odds will change as the start approaches; and once they are truly off and running the tote will close.

There are two events to consider; the ATSB Maiden Handicap and the CASA Race to the Bottoms cup. Much to consider before parting with hard earned. For a start, there are the preliminary events, not designed to test the runners and their connections. These seemingly sedate opening events are meant to test both mettle and suitability to the course. But, they are (to a Bookie) important. From these canters around the course, battle plans are laid, strategy formulated and final runners decided. Much like the opening stanzas of a concerto; a hint of what is to come. The first round begins in Sydney, open to the public, Wednesday, 4, September, 2019.

This will be a team event, not the final competition (Round one, if you will M’lud) - an introduction to the course. Each team will be given an equal amount of time to ‘test the running’ - get a feel for both track and hurdles.

From this, both connections and Bookies will gain a feel of what is to come, when the Balloon finally goes up and the competition is entered – in reality. Make no mistake boys and girls, the stakes are high and ‘the game’ being played ‘off track’ (behind the scenes) is well and truly afoot.

So, dear Anti Post sports, take care, pay attention, for not only will the odds be shifting, but so will the ‘team’ entered. Runners and tactics will be a constantly shifting bagatelle, which will present some serious challenges to the untested Senate team connections, hamstrung by the absence of Fawcett Prince (MTF).

Toot – toot.
