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

    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.

    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 ?

    Terrific return and win by Redzel. Kaepernick might be one to follow after a very good second.

    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.

    Ace High running in the next at Randwick. Steps up to the 1600 here ahead of his tilt at the Cups. Will be interesting to see how he runs...5.70 the plc is ok actually.

    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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
