Well beaten by several mollydee. Good research too on the Biffenator.

He's probably right about them not racing one another. Sepoy will have to step up to face the BC. Oakleigh Plate form suggests there's better opposition anyway after having the sit of the race.

    In the running it had the sit behind the horse in front, in second. Last time I looked that wasn't out in front. It may have spent some petrol tickets getting to that position early, as instructed maybe, but it was certainly swamped over the final 200m in a 1100m race.

    And yes, they still haven't met, but that's beside the point. Sepoy has 10 wins from 12 starts now.

    I hesitate to advise but Briefed at Sandown today at 3.58, should run well as track is softer for him.

    Couldn't agree more . He was pushed very hard out of the barrier to be in the front mix . Can't expect a young horse carrying 58 kg to turn it on at both ends of the race

    Apologies guys, I arrived in Brisbane just as the rain hit up there and returned to Melbourne as the storms hit last night, I think it's following me again.

    Did you go to Wang last night?

    How did Briefed go the other day, Redleg?

    Better than the jockey. Damien Oliver got off and told the trainer it was one of his poorer rides and the horse was never given a chance. Finally got him out when last with 100m to go and he flew home for 6th. Hope he can win next time.

    Shows how dangerous it is when Oliver had a bad fall last night. Hopefully he is ok.

    Noble Game at 3.58 at Bendigo sunday and Man of Awe monday 1.35 Warnambool.

    Anyone watch the joke that passed for a game of AFL at Launceston yesterday?

    No but I noticed you know who was not among the best players

    Went to Etihad and enjoyed our first win there in years. Liked the look of Davis. Big strong boy who goes hard and can play. Think Joel Mac has been terrible and his turnovers unbelievable. Watts struggling a bit, but will come good. Loved the aggression from our players. We are a new side.

    Apparently he was discharged from hospital about 1am. After a few hours sleep he did some usual fitness stuff, felt ok and thought he saw no reason why he couldn't ride . Lucky guy .

    I sometimes get scared when I am in a paddock with a few yearlings that get a bit playful. Imagine riding a racehorse in a tight field at full gallop, just frightening.

    There have been some strange selections in the NAB cup so far with some guys getting very little ground time, who I would have thought need it and others a lot. Howe was subbed off in 2nd quarter after palying well. Tom Mc got hardly any time at all. Gysberts got 1 quarter. Tynan got hardly any time.

    It might be something to do with loads but I can't work it out.

    Don't worry too much about the jocks-they are like cats .

    I worry more about my cash-Olly being about the only exception.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
