I put in a bid for 13.0 for Fawkner on BF this morning and then decided that BOB may be better so backed it with a bookie. 5 mins before the Cup I noticed that I had not been matched so backed it at 12.0 with BF. A little voice was telling me that I may have backed it already but I had had a superb day with my in running laying so didn't listen to the little voice.
