It’s was a year ago today that thanks to an unfortunate accident I couldn’t sleep and rose early. In an early morning blur I thought I would give Aussie racing a hack and in one of those great twists of fate, I discovered another new market to trade.

While it’s not as rewarding as UK racing and involves an early rise if you want to participate, it has certainly produced rewards over the last year. I had tried Aussie racing before but really just limited myself to the Melbourne cup and never strayed far from that. Even then I hadn’t been able to make that meeting work. From that seed exactly a year ago I managed to build out a strategy and in November last year finally achieved a thumping total on the Melbourne cup.

A year on and I now have a detailed understanding of Aussie racing and of the country itself. My quest has led me down a path of exploring venues, horses, trainers and just a generally better understanding of all things Australian. So much so, that I am a sure a visit is almost certain at some point in the future.

Often things require a little luck and that was certainly the case last year, but if you don’t keep looking you will never find anything and as the old adage says, the harder you work, the luckier you get. in fact, luck is where opportunity meets ability.
