Thought i would bump this post and give it another try after 10 years and 128,000 visits!

We have recently had a few rather controversial posts, from posters using non de plumes, rather than their proper names.

It would be appreciated if you could give us some background on whom you are and a bit of a profile on your backgrounds.

Good punting

Hi guys

I am Leon Smuts and work in the banking industry as a money market dealer and have worked in this industry for nearly 30 years. Racing has been a favorite pastime since my varsity days when a string of early successes conned me into making this a life time activity. Still as enjoyable as ever but thankful that I don't need to make a living from my involvement.

I have a start up business called Scoreline Wagering Enterprises which designs games for the racing industry as I would like to see the sport succeed and have a great belief in racing's ability to bounce back with the right approach. Would love nothing better than to give punters and especially newcomers a more entertaining and rewarding experience which everyone in this game deserves.

My teams are Spurs, the Stormers and support Ferrari in F1. Would like to see McClaren doing better but this appears to be ambitious at this time.

Love music and movies (war movies, court room dramas and real life events dramatised) with favorite artists Def Leppard, Gary Moore, The Eagles and Eric Clapton but enjoy most music including Blues, Jazz and even opera on occasion (admittedly after a couple of pints)

Favorite horses: Horse Chestnut, Empress Club, Roland's Song, Castle Walk, Golden Loom, Royal Chalice and Flaming Rock

Favorite jockeys: Felix Coetzee, Stephen Jupp, Bartie Leisher, Fareed Anthony and Pierre Strydom

Best meal is lamb chops and chips with oxtail a very close second

Best comedy series: Only Fools and Horses

Got hitched in 1993 and glad to have a wife that supports my punting, more so since I have scaled it down to only Saturdays and holidays.

Favorite bets are PA and Pick 3's and on the odd occasion a P6. Not a fair bet in my opinion and none of you will probably believe me if I mentioned that I won my very first P6 with a R1 bet.
Don't play wins and places except when I attend race days and support the tote primarily.

Love the banter on this site but have to admit that I don't enjoy when people resort to personal insults to make a point. Great site though and more knowledge here than on any other place on the web. I read all topics even though some are quite predictable but always most enjoyable.

Happy punting guys and in the famous words of Dell Boy, "Don't worry, next year this time we'll all be millionaires"
