Post race jockey said it is pretty average at getting out of the gates, but is improving. A better start sees him win well. Good chance in the Slipper. should be around 8/1

It was $201 for the Slipper prior to its Pierro Plate win a fortnight ago. PL kicking in as I didn't put a dollar on it at those odds. Not saying it will win but it might have been a decent cash out offer.

A mate said he found it at 50/1 for the Slipper this week, but i couldnt see it anywhere. ......was your mate at the track? The owners looked pretty happy. That horse would have been a good one to get in on for some shares D77.

Yeah he was in there somewhere, he said it was a big win. Happy days at Randwick for connections and it's still a colt....

It does ... the winner should come from the top 3 which suits my 3 - 5 - 5 Trifecta system (when it works!)  Throw in the 2 Weir horses for 2nd & 3rd and there you have it. 

I haven't really looked closely at the Flemington card but I've got a mate who gets the odd tip or 2 ... he's been given 'Hear the Chant' (Race 3 No.2) &  'Seattle Park' (Race 5 No.11)  Might be worth a $3 three leg multi (coupled with one of our best bets)

I got on Hear the Chant, looks like your mates mail is not bad Macca! Tell him thanks from Ballarat!

Not so easy that time but we're now 2 from 2 !

The jockey only pushed Santos late in a slowly run race.  There's some improvement to come with the horse.

Care to Think up next. (No pressure) .....:)

. I was wondering actually Macca was is our strike rate so far? We were 8 from 11 at one stage i think? Is it possible to go back and keep a running tally? Doesnt mean much as it will eventually even out, but i think weve done pretty well so far.

My mate gets good mail ... the tips aren't frequent but they rarely miss.  It was a real surprise to get 2 tips (the other tip Seattle Park goes in race 5)

Well if it was a horse, youd be on it wouldnt you!! That is outstanding work.

Actually i like Egg Tart in this next race @ Randwick.......a very good place bet i think. distance a tad short, but will be running on. Had something like an eye injury last campaign the trainer has said.....(but they always say that stuff)....pretty sharp before that. Dropping back to a Grp 3 here.

Lol I just realised it's in one of our races.

Into 2.50 now...Egg Tart drifting.. good quinella?

Unlucky, caught 3 wide the whole trip. Not a good ride by the jock. Jumped well and didn't push on to sit outside leader, tried to take it back and slot in but was caught in no mans land.


18: 12.4.0.    I thought it was home..... Bad luck....beaten by a random 19/1 shot. Onwards and upwards!

I backed Spin. Thought he'd get there

Im on Seattle Park here.

Boxed in on the fence all the way. Bad luck.

I thought the horse had every chance ... the winner was too good.  'Care to Think' just didn't have the same finishing speed like it has shown previously.  Something was amiss even though it didn't run badly.

I thought due to the horses ability it gave itself every chance of winning even though it probably covered more turf than any other.

That was the only horse my mate was worried about.

Well my confidence in the first half of the day has been well placed - at least at Flemington. No winners at randwick as of yet but backed the first four winners at Flemington and nailed the early quaddie. Twice.

I love days when you are up early because the stress of losing is taken away. Top wins by Aloft and Hear the Chant, which were both great odds.

It was drawn out wide but as you said,  the jockey could have pushed it towards the leader early ... looked like he was looking for cover but it didn't work. 

Of course,  we need these best bets to win so 2nd is no real consolation.

 

Winx absolutely supreme although the horse didn't have much to beat ... it has come back as good as ever. 

Next up for Winx is the George Ryder Stakes (March 24)

Misses the start by 4 lengths......some people put massive amounts on her like 100k in one case....you would have had a heart attack at that start!! Amazing win.

The quinella paid well, 2.70. Prized Icon was always going to run 2nd.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
