The RAMA roughie

[Alextheman871]

Sadly, for those that are not aware, the racing form expert Deane Lester passed away late last night, 16th February 2023. For those that understand the title name then you will be well aware of Deane. For those that find this strange, this was the name given to his tip on every friday morning, firstly at 3UZ and then when the station was rebranded as RSN927. And it has become an institution in Melbourne and heard throughout Australia on all racing stations. The name RAMA came from the nickname of a much loved Essendon AFL player, Adam Ramanauskas, who was much loved by many for all the difficulties that plagued his own career. Hence, the RAMA roughie was coined, and hoped that it would strive as hard as it's namesake. The late Deane Lester was an icon as a racing tipster and a true australian larriken that lived a life of horse racing and punting. The punting that those of us born in the 50's and 60's knew as punting, before the aussie slang gave it a new lean. I never had the pleasure of meeting Deane however I lost a great part of my life last night. Not being able to hear his voice on radio or use his tips will be strange new world for a while. So, after listening to many say today that we need a legacy to continue, I am suggesting that I post the RAMA roughie each Friday for all those that would like a punt and openly encourage any other OP that feels they to have a roughie for the team. The RAMA roughie will be The roughie and everything else will be My roughie. For those that wonder if this is an appropriate, for those that have never heard of Deane Lester, google will help. Deano will always be remembered.

Hi Punter's. Not usual day but no City racing tomorrow with the AFL grand final. Good luck on the punt this weekend and I hope all can enjoy the sport. I am doing the Ryder Cup marathon. Go safe 😎

One of the best races around the world on tonight. True Group 1 race, L'arc De Triomphe. Favourite looks like a supreme equine racing specimen. Its not a roughie but i dont see how it gets beaten, except for the great uncertainty that is horse racing.

Just looked at the Randwick and Caulfield cards, a tad disappointing for this time of year!

It's only paying $6.50 and I tipped it a few weeks ago, sure it has a win in her this preparation.

Have to agree about the fields today. Seems to be a hangover after the Everest carnival.
Like your tip and hope it goes forward to lead. 💰💰💰

Are there any punters here that are ahead with their punting?

Probably a sound question. Personally I would say my punting life has cost me a small fortune. But I am not scarred 😎

[trampslikeus55]

Good luck to all those having a bet today. Small fields again for Melbourne and questions will be asked of the Valley again. Hoping for a great Cox Plate free of interference. I have a funny feeling that me may see Gold Trip trucking up out wide from the 800 and turning this into a brutal affair. A war of attrition 💪💪
An irony for this forum. What we would all appreciate is a floozie loose on gin 😎
Happy punting

Romantic Warrior silence the doubter's with a awesome win and what a ride by champion jockey James MacDonald.

Well done and I hope you had a fill up. Was a good race and while there were hard luck stories you can take nothing away from the winner. On again today with the Golden Eagle. Form expert tells me the Japanese horse will win, my heart will stay with the girls. Legarto to hold off Amelia's Jewel. Happy punting 💰💰💰
