Vega:

Vega is the 5th brightest star in the night sky and at only 25 light years away is one of the brightest stars in our neighborhood. Vega has been extensively studied by astronomers and is regarded by many as the most important star in the sky next to the sun. Some believe it may be the most likely place to find life outside our solar system. In 12000 BC it was the North Pole Star. In Alaska, Canada and most of Europe Vega never sets. Unlike other stars, it has a unique bluish-white color.

Based on an observed excess emission of infrared radiation, likely to be the result of collisions between objects in an orbiting debris field, Vega appears to have a disk of dust. Stars that display an infrared excess due to dust emission are termed Vega-like stars.

.....so, now you know why its called Vega Magic.  :)

Best Bet:

Rosehill Race 5 No 1 Performer $3.70

I know its a little early but ive had a good look, and with Santos and the other one out, Performer is standing out i reckon. Won at track and distance and good price, just hang on Bowman!

Here are the 6 Stakes races to be run on Saturday to keep an eye out for ... Wadda's best bet 'Performer' is running around in the feature race at Rosehill (Race 5) whilst we'll get to look at Avilius,  Brutal & Multaja in the other bigger events. 

And there are a good field of sprinters assembled in the Carlyon Cup @ Moonee Valley. 

But the import from the UK Avilius is my big watch in the Premier's Cup (Rosehill Race 7) ... too short for a best bet but could be an inclusion in a running double, multi or treble.  Exceptionally impressive first time up last start.  Went whoosho and it was done.

 

 

Best Bet ...

Rosehill Race 2 No.4 Impavido $5.50

I like its chances in this small field.  Going for an early collect and Ron Dufficy from Sky Racing has it on top as well.  Tim Clark on board and he's in decent form.

Psssst: all the other horses are running at Rosehill, so it should [censored] it in. :)

Thats an interesting one Macca, didnt see that last time it ran. Is it being set for the Cups? $1.85 atm is ok for a leg in a multi.

Best Bet comes from Rosehill Gardens

Race 6 - 3:05PM VISIT MONACO MING DYNASTY (1400 METRES)

Number 3 Danawi $3.80

Talented galloper and has just run into one better in all starts. Running on home track, this could be the day.

Ha!  I'm forever getting those 2 courses mixed up Wadda - same deal for Ascot & Belmont in the West. 

I'm all-in on trifecta's at the weekend ... can't find a standout winner at the Valley in 9 races!  Even the Get-on crew were struggling.  The fields are strong though so finding the 2-5-5 & 3-5-5 combinations was quite an easy exercise.

Rosehill is much the same for the majority of races.  Some strong fields there as well.  Should be a really good days racing at both venues.

Sorry, but i had to call it. For a second there i thought, wow racing at both Sydney venues!

Yeah thats really why i took the horse i did just couldnt find anything else. Although when in doubt there is always Jamie Kah in Adelaide. Seriously every 2nd ride shes winning. Look for a Weir/Kah combo perhaps.

I read Chautauqua is having a barrier trial at Rosehill in between races. If the horse jumps it could receive the loudest roar of the day. Fingers crossed.

Here's the replay of Avilius winning 3 weeks ago (you'll have to log on to view)

It might be being set for the Epsom Hcp which is run on GF Day (when we win our 13th flag)

Great thanks!.......its not that far off the mark if they bring the sort of attitude they did last week.

Will they be using any C4 behind the stalls DZ?

Best Bets (so far)

Rosehill Race 2 No.4 Impavido $5.50

Rosehill Race 6 No 3 Danawi $3.80

Rosehill Race 5 No 1 Performer $3.70

Approx $77 for your $1 outlay so far. We await the mighty Binman.....

Scott who?

In other news ... click on this link to view the Group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes run at York on Wednesday. 

A crack field of 8 were engaged in the race - the 'Creme de la Creme' of Europe in a 2000m classic.  2 or 3 of the runners may end up in Australia this Spring although we know that Benbatl is definitely coming for the Cox Plate.

@Macca Seems some money has come in for Impavido. Into $4.40 on TAB. What’s the best price you saw?

Whoa what a trecherous day. Struggling to find a best bet. Rosehill super tricky with 3vyear olds coming back and soft with rain to come. Playing the valley as leaders track.

Best bet a quirky one. Summer sham a place. Will get out in front and be very hard to get past.

A place is fine Binman, often its a better pick as long as the odds are reasonable. Have ya got a horse and race number there old chap?  :)

All set to go fellas, Saturday morning chores are done, mind you it only consisted of a trip down to Godfreys for a pack of vacuum bags. 

Gosh, you can feel everyone’s fingers hopping to the keyboard these last few days. 

Should be another great day’s racing. 

Some news on Santos, pulled out of today’s race with a very minor issue, should be good to go for The Run To The Rose On the 8th of Sep. 

Sorry summer sham is race 5 no 4 at mv. Currently 3.10 on fixed odds

Impavido never really threatened watching the replay ... been out and about today.

Got in a good position, looked a little flat the last 200-300m. 

Chautauqua was the big story Macca. Missed the start by 8 lengths in the trial and finished 2nd to Zousain by about a neck in the end. He wasn’t fully stretched out but the panel said he won’t pass after fluffing the jump.

The stewards have laid down some quite stringent rules that the horse has to pass so it might be the end.  But who knows?  The connections might keep pressing forward.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
