Some trackriders are complete duds.
The better ones have like a clock in their head,
That can tell exactly what work to put,
Into a horse for Saturday.

As i live opposite Flemington i used to get up and go for a run each,
Morning (Not Now To Old)i would often hang around to try and hear,
What was being said you can't do it nowadays.

Along the way i became friends with a particular person who,
Had several horses with a trainer whose surname was the same as the last person hanged in Victoria he is in Qld now, one time as we were walking out to the car park he had recieved,
A glowing report for one of his horses from the trackwork rider.

I had heard what he had said so asked him i guess you,
Will be backing your horse in the Gibson Carmichael on Saturday.

NAA no hope was the reply trackrider mr.x just talks the horses,
Chances up in case it wins so he gets a sling.

The stablemate worked by trackwork rider mr y yesterday,
Was a winning gallop, he is the one we listen to, be on it.

Needless to say he was right i can't remember the odds but,
I had a big collect his horse ran 4th after having every chance.

As soon as i saw him the following week 30% of what i won went,
To him if you don't do that the next time you won't get,
Told or will get told wrong that's how it works.

Cheers.
