There's the verification,  that's right.  Mine went through reasonably quickly but not sure on the actual time.  Plus,  you don't want to miss out on your bonus bet. 

You might want to give them a call to find out. 

I will cheers. Good punting.......is Ormito an official Day at the Races special?!! Might contribute toward the strike rate!

All I know is that it had better win!  I reckon it runs a place at worst Wadda. 

Nomothaj is next up in the 4th ... it has qualified 15th for the Slipper ((16 will run) so Hayes setting it for this 200k 2yo Classic is smart thinking. 

Golden Slipper Order of Entry

And if Ormito wins then we could count the win towards our 'strike-rate' but if it doesn't win,  forget it.  How's that for a bit each-way!

Is our strike rate now:

22: 13.4.1

It might be 23: 13 - 5 - 1 Wadda because we only had 3 best bets in the first week. 

19 times in the finish out of 23 is quite good ... and a 56% win rate is reasonable too.

Cant accuse us of tampering with the figures!! I like it!

If we can lift that win strike rate up to 70%  -  75% we will be doing very well Wadda.  The concept is well worth persevering with.  

And Nomothaj only cost me a very small outlay (a double with Ormito)

Small field in the next one (Race 5) but they've all got a chance.

Interesting article from racing.com - worth a read. 

Newmarket Handicap showcases training over pedigree

Quote

After watching Redkirk Warrior gallop after soon arriving, champion trainer David Hayes felt that he would be better suited to sprint and mile races in Australia.

Brave Smash has been redeveloped into an elite sprinter in Australia by Darren Weir and his team. It again raises the question of whether he would have had similar results if he had stayed in Japan.

You'd reckon there's some sort of connection.  And I like the international horses competing in Australia.  It gives our racing more exposure and it's a win/win in my opinion.

Lol, been out and about but always find time to jump on and have a sneaky look. Even managed to catch the cup on the phone. Fanatic didn’t give up at all, I thought Ormito had it the last 200m.

The race caller didn’t even realise Fanatic railed through on the final turn and bolted two lengths in front. It happened so quick, you could hear his surprise 100m upon straightening.

Al Haram looked like it shifted out to give Fanatic the perfect run ... rigged! :ph34r:

Williams did the right thing with Ormito but Fanatic covered less ground - on the fence the whole way. 

Close but no cigar ... money back at least.  My advice was each-way so I hope you blokes got something back.

I only like winners Wadda - doesn't qualify.

Fanatic got the perfect run - the jockey took a chance and it paid off.

It was a really good tip. Run that race another 20 times and it wins everytime. Winner had all the luck.

The jockey on Fanatic (Walker) mentioned that he could see the leader (Al Haram) was 'hanging-off' the whole race.  So the run that Fanatic got wasn't as lucky as we initially thought. 

Did Williams not notice the same thing or was he thinking that Fanatic was going to follow him to the outside? 

Ormito was a good thing beaten,  all things considered.  I was worried about Fanatic of course ... it ran very well to win the Sandown Cup in gutsy fashion. 

Ah well,  it was a terrific race and we got a run for our money.

Yep ... the hindsight quinella - related to 'Punters lament'  ha ha

And McAvaney has been great today ... he's such a proffesional especially when it comes to the horses.  Knows his stuff. 

Edit: His interview with Darren Weir was fascinating.

Here's a replay of last year's Coolmore Classic won by 'Heavens Above'  ... the Coolmore Classic is the only Group 1 event being held next Saturday although there are a host of other Group 2 & 3 races being held at Moonee Valley (Friday evening),  Rosehill & Flemington. 

Here's the latest odds for the race (Shoals running?)

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
