This weeks guest tipster is Megan McGuire from Soho Media and Advertising. Megan wishes she was in sunny Cairns for the Cairns Amatuers today but instead she is tipping Artibai straight out in the Carlton Mid Cairns Amateur Cup . With wily veteran jockey Robert Thompson on board this looks a good thing. Palmerbet have Artibai at $5.50 fixed. Good luck Megan and I like your confidence!!!

Gday

Good afternoon Bombers – what a week in sport. The NRL finals week – not much about the footy. Firstly the debacle of the Jack Wighton’s 4 week suspension for a shoulder charge then to be overturned by the appeal panel in 5 minutes, the Manly/Eddie Hayson alleged match fixing and then these goons from the Cowboys on an egg throwing spree. Please!! Egg throwing – if you are going to do it properly go rock some houses – mugs. Nick Kyrgios retires hurt from the US Open and once again blames everyone but himself – tool. The Socceroos courtesy of superstar Tim Cahill beat UAE 1-0 in sweltering conditions. The Diamonds (my team) give the Silver Ferns a reverse Bledisloe Cup lesson in the netball. The Aussie cricketers beat the world record for the highest score in T20 with the big show aka FIGJAM starring. Pity they can’t score that many runs in Test matches. But the big news of the week from me was that Tiger Woods is making a return to golf in the Safeway Open in California on October 13. I hope he is back on the nest as he plays his best from the bush. I am reliably informed via the Olympics that the Brazilian is yesterdays news and the bush is back!! So Tiger you are back. As a mate of mine said “I did not know whether to lick it or wipe my feet on it”!!! Here we go

The BMW Championship this week will head to Crooked Stick this week which is famous for being the course John Daly broke through on to win the ’91 PGA. JD drover all night across many states the story goes, drunk, to get to the tournament as he was an alternate.
The last time the BMW was here was when Rory was on a great stretch of winning everything and he destroyed the course with -20.
So let me just say if John Daly and Rory have won here….it’s a donkey bombers course. So I wouldn’t back anyone who isn’t really long.
NB: the field has only 70 players so expect shorter odds than normal.

My fellow sisters, as predicted, last weekend was full of replays of AFL and a first time viewing of the Women’s Demons side by His Highness. What started out as cheering for his beloved Dees turned into a misogynistic rant about the skill level of the womens game. I said to His Highness that “how would you know their skill levels, you have knocked off half a carton of XXXX and a half a 2 litre cask of sav blanc – your beer goggles are bigger than Mr Magoo”. His response – “can you make me a pizza” and I responded in Italian – “vaffanculo”. His response was “great never had one of those pizzas” and 5 minutes later he was asleep on the couch, ringraziare fanculo.
