    After having an early look at the Saturday fields there's a few trifecta races that might take the fancy - I'm easy on what the preference is because my main aim is going to be the 3 Group 1 races at Sha Tin on Sunday.  Anyway,  here are the 5 races I picked out but there might be a few others that suit

    I've marked the Doomben race as my 3rd preference as there are only the 8 runners and therefore the value may not be there. 

    Hawkesbury  Race 7  Hawkesbury Cup

    Morphettville  Race 6  City of Adelaide Hcp

    Doomben  Race 8  Victory Stakes

    Hawkesbury  Race 5  Hawkesbury Rush

    Hawkesbury  Race 6  Godolphin Crown

     

    Best Bet Strike Rate

    44: 20 - 9 - 2

    Trifecta Strike Rate

    1: 1 - 0  (+$102.50)


    Australian Group and Listed Races

     

    Racing.com did a segment this morning and identified I Victory on Sunday at Sha Tin as the best horse of the day.

    Yeah Ivictory broke the course record for 1200m at its last start at Happy Valley (01.08.52) but ... its up against the Group 1 horses for the first time.  And the Group 1 horses have run similar or better times at Sha Tin.  Some have run around 01.08.00 flat. This is a classic reason why I prefer trifectas.  I get 'em all running around for me! (well,  not all Wadda)

    I reckon Ivictory can get into the finish but so can about 4 or 5 other horses (especially Mr Stunning & Beat the Clock)  It should be a cracking race,  all the same.  The Mile race & 2000m Group 1 races on the card have similar back stories.   Here are the 3 races ...

    The Champions Mile

    The Chairman's Sprint

    The Audemars Piguet Qeil Cup

    The racing never ends for me ... as of next week Morphettville and Dommben get into full swing and then there's all the big group racing from Europe that starts up next week as well (and that lasts for 4 or 5 months with 1 or 2 Group 1 races every week)  It's good therapy and a good distraction if the footy team isn't traveling well ?

    Ok i see what you mean, yes. In the APQC race, Ping Hai Star was identified as pretty damn good and the footage i saw of him was going 2 for 1 strides against the others.

    You could give Ladbrokes a call Wadda but Day/Ruffles have blown out in the odds anyway ... the other 3 picks have more relevance and you could add-on to the 3 picks or delete 1 or 2 that don't your fancy. 

    I got 17-1 (boosted) for the 3 picks at Ladbrokes and I'm happy with that.

    Yes i took the 3 picks last night anyway, and threw in Mr Sea Wolf for a plc instead of the golf. 39/1

    Ping Hai Star is going to be hard to beat but 'Time Warp' is a proven Group 1 performer & the Japanese runner 'Al Ain' could be thereabouts as well.  And who knows with 'Pakistan Star'?

    All 3 big races have a number of top performers engaged.

    • Caulfield  Race 5  No.3  William Thomas (3.20)
    • Caulfield  Race 6  No.1  Sunset Watch  (1.95)

    So my selection for the trifecta is Kingsgauard. Will roll along on speed and be hard to get past. 

    No bets bets, though having looked at race 6 i had a quick glance at some other races at hawksbury. Victorem will be hard to beat i would have thought. And White Moss and Up and rolling will on speed and hard to beat. Both are pretty good value i think.

    • W/2/3 ... No.2  Equador

    • W/2/3 ... No.7  Kingsguard
    • 2/3 ........ ?????????????

    Sedanzer had a dream run and had clear air but ... needed the run.  Isn't hindsight a wonderful aid?

    Hmmm, definitely watching the Sunset. Loomed ominously at the top of the straight but didn’t find much. Even the half a million dollar colt (5) couldn’t get into the race. Come on the trifecta!!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
