RePete is nothing if not fearless. Refusing to be discouraged by bookmaker scepticism, he went after some big prices for the exotics bets and gave backers a big sight in a couple of races.
25-1 shot top play Bel Rhythm in particular outran her odds in race 4 and looked the winner rounding the home turn before running out of Wheaties. Jacinta, a minor-money selection in Race 8, gave exotics players a great sight by outrunning her 15-1 with a close-up 4th.
Overall, though not one of his better outings in terms of results. However, for a value player like RePete, days like that come with the bright-green Australian turf. Here are his consolidated results for the races 3 through 10 at Geelong last night:
Winning picks made: 7; finished first: 0; ratio: 30%; average SP: N/A
Non-winning picks made: 14; finished first: 2; ratio: 14.3%; average SP: 2-1
Total picks made: 21; finished on board: 5; ratio: 21%; average SP: 4.3-1
