    I was a little up for the day but still playing with house money ... no hard luck stories either. 

    The highlights in terms of the racing were the impressive wins by Kementari & Redkirk Warrior whilst credit must go to the Hayes clan for getting the chocolates with Harlem (was its last run a track gallop?:ph34r:)

    Happy Clapper was too good in a highly competitive Canterbury Stakes whilst  Redzel was also too classy in its race.  Estijaab ran a very quick time to win but that track was probably closer to a fast 2 than a good 4 judging by a lot of the other times. 

    The other big story was Hugh Bowman falling (no broken bones apparently and he should be ok) and what happens to 'Performer' now ... the stewards might have a bit to say on that one.  It's now out to 8.50 for the Slipper.

    Anyway,  for those who may wish to partake,  there's a few decent races at Canberra tomorrow (Canberra Guineas,  Canberra Cup & Black Opal Stakes for 2yo's)

    'Assimilate' is favourite in the Guineas,  'Show a Star' favoured in the Cup whilst there are a few chances in the Black Opal.  

    There's some decent races on Monday as well at Morphettville (Nomothaj is running around in the 2yo Classic!) ... more on that meeting tomorrow night.

    Had to watch the Newmarket replay twice then Macca. Once to watch the grandstand side only, twice to watch the far side. Terrific race though.

    On 'After the Last' on the racing channel they showed an overhead shot of the Newmarket from the start and Redkirk was way out in front from the get-go.  David Hayes made mention that the outside going was a lot slower too (and he'd know)

    There's real talk of taking the horse to Royal Ascot (mid/late June) although because of the Hong Kong ownership the horse may go to HK first.  The horse was good to me today as I also had it in a double with Kementari as well as landing the trifecta. 

    I also had Merchant Navy in a few other small multi's so the best bets can be used in a variety of ways including of course,  adding another horse in the same race/races (as I did with Redkirk)  Kementari was the banker as was Gailo Chop ... got one but missed on the other.

    My mate Brett went to Randwick yesterday. He said Ace High is a huge horse. So powerful. Once it gets up to its right distance, nothing will get past it.

    Needless to say hes a fan. It did look like he was really starting to wind up yesterday. Another 200m and would have smashed em.

    Its being set for the Cups in Spring. He took a double Caulfield/Melbourne and got 143/1

    Yes Wadda,  Ace High is building really nicely and is obviously looking for the 2000m and further.  Won't be long to wait either ...

    The Rosehill Guineas (2000m) is being held in 2 weeks (March 24) and then the Australian Derby (2400m) is held on April 7. 

    Ace High showing 3.50 for the Guineas and 6.00 for the Derby.

    After consulting the Australian Group & Listed Races I see that 'Criterion' & 'It's a Dundeel'  have done the double in more recent times so it's not such a big ask for Ace High.  It's had 3 runs now this campaign and looks primed. 

    Ladbrokes are showing Ace High at 3.50 for the Rosehill Guineas & 6.00 for the Derby Wadda ... combined odds of 21.00 but I believe it's 'all-in' betting.

    TAB has deductions for the same runner. Im assuming after the deduction its 10.50 or thereabouts. They dont have a market up yet. (typical) Do the other betting companies do a deduction i wonder?

    I wouldn't know Wadda ... I don't do all-in betting as a general rule.  And I've left the TAB behind and won't be going back!  The other betting agencies have so much more to offer.  I like Ladbrokes for now but am keeping my options open. 

    I do like to look ahead at the odds though ... mainly to see which horses are what in terms of their future schedule. 

    For instance,  next weeks big Group 1 - Coolmore Classic 1500m

    God thats a toughie...and Shoals is back as well.

    Who are you with Sportsbet isnt it? Can you find out if they have a deduction for same runner in 2 diffent races in a double type bet?

    It might be worth joining just for that as often they match your first bet as we previously discussed.

    I wouldn't even know where to look Wadda ... all my betting is via the internet and as previously stated,  I have no idea how all-in betting works as I never do it. 

    And I'm with Ladbrokes (for now)  Give them a ring (or you could try Sportsbet or any of the other betting agencies)

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
