Well....i threw McCreery in for 3rd as an after thought because i was talking about it yesterday....

Nice dividend too Wadda - well done!

It was a tricky race but we nearly got it ... 1st,  2nd & 4th is always the worst possible outcome.  Mister Sea Wolf was never in it whilst we probably all looked at McCreery.   Well you did anyway ?

Leather & Lace got up for 3rd ... the winner too good (one of the 'other' Weir horses)

I've had a couple of ok collects today but my main aim was always Sha Tin tomorrow.  Quietly confident of getting a few reasonable returns if things fall my way.

I'm not sure I want to mozz them Wadda but I'll post up my 3 possible winners in each of the 3 Group 1 races - they are all quite obvious but I always hope for my 3rd fancied runner to win (highlighted)

I'll add a couple of placegetters and box the 3 first choice runners in each race in a separate bet ...to stave off punters lament. 

  • Race 6 - Beauty Generation,  Season's Bloom,  Singapore Sling
  • Race 7 - Mr Stunning,  Beat the Clock,  Ivictory
  • Race 8 - Ping Hai Star,  Time Warp,  Al Ain

Not a bad run Wadda, spoke to my mate prior to the race and he basically said they will decide soon on his future. These “ not bad” runs are becoming all too familiar lately and probably best to come to a decision soon. 

Anyway, we carry on and look forward to Sha Tin tomorrow.

He did run quite a good race i thought, beat my runner home. Theres just not much in the tank at the end. Send him down to Tassie....(thats actually what they did with my horse toward the end of his career).

James Jordan just got a $10 winner on the last at Morphettville with his value bet for the day and got the quinella with his first 2 picks.

Were you on Wadda? I knew I shouldn’t have started a game of scrabble with the kids.

Here are the early odds for the 2 Group 1's next Saturday at Morphettville ... a much better choice for our trifecta type race in my opinion.  The fields will no doubt be reduced although 20 horses did run in the G1 Sprint last year whilst only 14 ran in the 2017 G1 Australasian Oaks ...

Demons get a win! ... albeit against average opposition.  Still,  there are a stack of average sides in the league.  And the good teams aren't that good.

Anyway,  what was that line out of 'Hotel California'?

Well I got my days total outlay back on the 4th race Trifecta ... % only but I'm now playing with house money with bets already laid.  I should just bet at Sha Tin and have the odd flutter in the local races here in Australia (Group 1's) Not every week but there's usually 2 or 3 good trifecta races on up there most weeks. 

Beauty Generation won with real class in the just completed G1 Mile ... just missed on the trifecta but 2 races to go Wadda.  The Sprint race is up next.  Lets see how good this Ivictory is up against Mr Stunning & Beat the Clock.  It would want to be good to beat those 2.

Gee it really didnt pay much did it? $16 on ladbrokes.....

No Wadda,  but that doesn't surprise.  The small fields and the truly run races lends itself to the obviously good horses getting into the finish.  But if 1 or 2 of the 3 top fancies don't figure in the finish there are some good dividends to be had. 

Trifectas at Sha Tin in the Group races have an 'each-way' feel about them ... I don't miss very often but the dividends can also often be 'money-back' or thereabouts.  I see it as more of a percentage play hoping that my 4th & 5th picks can get into the finish (in a 3-5-5 trifecta) I also box the first 3 picks as that combo does salute on more than the odd occasion.  2-4-4 is another option that can reward.

Ok i see......yes. Looks like John Size rules the show here......always wondered where he got to.

Im going Ping Hai Star one out to win, and mixed up a few others for the placings, and also a 4 box with your selections plus Pakistan Star.

    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
