Ok, I’m on.

Put it on with Neds and split my investment by 3 so I can place it on all totes (Vic, NSW, QLD), much easier than trying to guess which state will pay the most should we be successful.?

Anyone got a link to the Doomben race?

Edit: Nevermind.

    Looked like the winner early in the straight.

    It was such a wide open race (Doomben Cup) and the exotic dividends reflected that ... we now know that Comin' Through can run the 2000m and it won in impressive style.

    There's a couple of overseas Group 1 races coming up later tonight and early tomorrow morning ... I haven't had a bet in the Preakness Stakes (8.48am) as it's hard to see 'Justify'* being beaten and it is too short - Good Magic could run 2nd to the odds-on favourite though.

    I don't mind 'Limato' (each-way) in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury (12.40am) ... it should get into the finish. 

    *If 'Justify' does win the Preakness as expected it will be shooting for the triple crown in the Belmont Stakes held on the 9th of June.

    Apologies. As a newbie to the picking the place getters i forgot i had to pick two. Next time i'' get it right.

    By the by i would have selected Egg tart (honest) for my other place getter, as i was um and ahhing between Egg tart and Coming Through. Brilliant horse early doors who has struggled a bit of late

    We're now down to 4 runners in a 30k race ... blinkers on first time. 

    Will the Dan salute DZ?

    Surely Macca?.... only need to beat 3 runners home.  He won’t get a better chance to break the drought, although the top weight is a good horse and $1.70 favourite with Ned’s.

    I’m very happy for the “ The Day at the Races” crew to finally see the Zephyr win. He turned back the clock with that win. Happy resting Dan!

    Blinkers on for the first time ever and the Zephyr just sped away from them like a horse possessed.  I wonder if the connections might be tempted to give the Dan a couple more runs with the blinkers on? 

    Anyway,  it's trifecta time again ... the Kingsford-Smith Cup & the Queensland Oaks are the 2 standout choices and I'll throw in a 3rd choice from Randwick. 

    If you've got a preference just post up your choice at your convenience @Dee Zephyr @Wadda We Sing  @binman

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
