A Day at the Races

It’s the second  time in a week that The Bostonian has been scratched. Had a shocking gate last week too.  When the rail is out at Doomben it makes it even more difficult for those drawn wide. Still, keep an eye out for it. 

Dane Thunder similarly drew wide but usually not an issue at Sandown. That mail came from somebody very closely connected to the horse too. 

Yeah, Dafeenah comes via a very reliable source. Was $9 in this mornings (Brisbane) paper. Tongue tie on may be a key.

    My best bet for the weekend ...

    Randwick Race 6  No.3  Live and Free  $2.50

    Not exactly each-way odds but the horse is in fine form and should be getting into the finish with Brenton Avdulla on board.  It's the best bet of a few of the Sydney Sky Racing pundits as well.

    You’re spot on Macca, Doomben is shaping up as a really good day for racing. I had a look at the whole card a short time ago and there are some terrific races. 

    I have a selection for the McKell Cup. I’m going for a value runner in No.5 Lovani. 

    Edit: Did I go too early? Wadda hasn’t declared his pick yet I see. 

    Lovani has been scratched so you'll need to have another go DZ

    McKell Cup - Randwick Race 7

    • W/2/3  Our Century

    Number 6 Naval Warfare. It was my second pick for the win so it’s worked out in the end.

    Lovani lining up at Doomben in race 2. Bit of a nibble for it this morning. Likes to race on the pace too which is an advantage at Doomben today.

    Fine morning here in Brisbane although a few clouds building in the south. Might cop a shower or two later this morning but shouldn’t have any bearing on track conditions. The Gold Coast may cop a bit of rain though.

    Out of Sebring and Black Caviar, that would have been a cheap exercise ?. Ran on well late after slightly missing the start.

    Yes thats ok Macca, was going to do that anyway. I like our picks in both.

    EDIT: They just said theyre having track problems at Doomben. May have to move the rail out in the back straight and are rolling the track. Last race may be cancelled.

    • 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.
