Ok, so we always speculate about whether we should change the tax system, or spend less on defence and more on education etc etc. Well, here is our chance to hypothesise. Starting mine now.

Surely there are some punters in this forum? Let's share our hard luck stories, tip some winners, look forward to future races. Cannot wait until Saturday, great racing here in Sydney and the field in the Sangster is stunning in Morphetville.
