I’ll give 100/1 for Hartnell if you like Wadda?. I wonder why they chose not to run him on Saturday.

To be honest im not really a Hartnell fan and he probably wont win. I just thought i noticed something different about his run. He is a class horse.

Im still on Vega Magic, even though the bookies are taking him on a bit they said today. We also know why hes called Vega now! :)

Edit: The odds posted by Macca were prior to acceptances so maybe the betting was kept safe with Hartnell.

Ah yeah, Hartnell is not in the final field. Just saw that.

I want at least 500 then DZ!

Ha Ha. So @Macca beat me to Seabrook, Voodoo was a safe choice for me too but you’ve gone bang with him. I’ll leave Le Romain for binman, now I have to go back and look some more.

$2.80 is a good price at the moment. This should be a terrific race.

Well i guess your right, but he was sure flying at the end of the the last start Hartnell. Somebody on SEN said Kentamari will not get over being pantsed by Winx and will be unlikely to win.....

I think Le Romain might be a standout winner for a trifecta? Binman will probably best bet him as well! Hi Binman!!

Well it must be true then if 'someone' on SEN said so Wadda ? 

I wouldn't be counting out Kementari although it's up against some gun runners on Saturday - particularly Vega Magic & Happy Clapper.  Gator is convinced that the 3 will run the trifecta and nothing else can win.

Well thats what i thought Macca! Honestly, do people actually think horses have a human psyche? I just thought that was such an odd thing to say...."He was backed to beat Winx, but got smashed.....he wont get over that." ?

There would be a stack of horses that have won decent races after being beaten by Winx.  'Someone' adding to the Winx storyline for the sake of it,  me thinks. 

Happy Clapper,  Le Romain,  Hartnell,  Humidor have all won Group 1's after being beaten by Winx.  And there would be others.

Best Bet From Royal Randwick 

Race 7 - 3:50PM BISLEY WORKWEAR CHELMSFORD STAKES (1600 METRES)

Number 15 Unforgotten   $3.80 TAB

The mare’s late closing sectionals behind Winx were outstanding last start. Drawn well and although it’s a big enough field I believe there are only a few with a winning hope. She’s a pretty good mare and she rates on top for me.

Ok, so our Best so far are.....

Caulfield Race 6  No.6 Seabrook  $6.00

Royal Randwick Race 7  No 15 Unforgotten  $3.80

Caulfield: Race 8 No 3  Voodoo Lad $3.50

Those 3 combinations will snare you around 80/1 depending on whom you are placing a bet with. Dont forget as we get into spring the place bets really come into play with the bigger odds.

We await the mighty Binmans selections......Go Dees

 

Best Bet Strike Rate from Aug 1

Better standard of horse running around for us this week Wadda ... and as you have noted previously,  decent odds for those good horses because of the quality of fields.

The latest sees 6.50 available on Laddies for Seabrook,  4.50 for Unforgotten & 3.70 for Voodoo Lad.  I just put on our 3 in an all-up and got 86-1.  Will go again with all 4 with BM's choice.  200-1 for 4 high quality thorougbreds? 

We are going to land one sooner or later but the collects can happen if we use the horses individually.

My best on what might be a good day for favorites is Jaahmeh. Race 1 no 3 Caulfield.

In a small field with only one orher realustic chance, red alto, 2.20 is terrific value. Surprised it is not in the red. Though surely will tighten.

Could have gone cega magi or redzel but like races with 8 or less runners. Less chance of trouble in running.

Is it raining down there?........gettin smashed here..

Not much out my way in the Dandenong's but it's threatening ... it will probably be coming in from across your way so I've battened down the hatches!

Was always going to include 'Lite'n In My Veins' in race 4 and it paid off reasonably well in a trifecta ... 'Night's Watch looks a horse though. 

Missed on 'Goodfella' at Randwick and I'm kicking myself after following the horse for a bit - had it for 2nd or 3rd but should have boxed 'em.  Paid 1.5k ?

Just watched Tunes win his 14th race in a hurdle race at Morphetville. Start 118 today for the 10yr old, that’s durability at its finest.

Oh No, good divvy for Tunes as well, around $5.

Tom Melbourne just did what Tom Melbourne does best......we all know what that is.

Good old Tom ran 2nd again but helped me get the trifecta so good on ya Tom!  Boxed 'em this time - once bitten twice shy!

Thus proving that there is a way to win by including Tom Melbourne in your exotics.  The horse is a very good performer that just can't find the finishing line ahead of the rest.

They weren't catching Native Soldier today ... set a decent pace and then cleared away in the straight.  Very impressive. 

Seabrook ran on for 3rd but was never it in - none of the others were.

And @Dee Zephyr  comes through with another winner.  Well done!

Top performance by 'Unforgotten' ... big future for the horse.  We might be seeing something special.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
