A Day at the Races


Toorak

Recommended Posts

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

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.

Ok sorry about the late pick, but i wanted to cover all bases. Its a 2 horse race between Andaz and Fifty Stars. Andaz is the better value and the quinella may in fact be the better bet. Good luck fellas.

Doomben Race 5 No.3 Zousain $3.10

Randwick Race 6  No.3  Live and Free  $2.50

Sandown Race 9 No. Andaz $5.50

$42.62 for your dollar.

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

I’m not huge on the punt but do get the odd bit of mail which is occasionally profitable. Tomorrow I have these:

Doomben R2 - 11 Heavenly Thought

 

Where have you been mate?? Straight off the bat. $12 winner, well done.

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.

What’s happening at Doomben? I heard they are repositioning the rail. TAB site is telling me 45 minutes now until the next race.

Not sure, track problems... there was just an announcement on Racing .com

Was just about to ring State Emergency Services Binman, to see if they could rescue you from whatever disaster you were facing...! Nice one, good selections as usual.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.
