Reporting in from up in the hills of Indonesia en route to Europe. Ill try and get on when i can and when i have a connection.

Had a bit of a look and i think i cant go past ....opps just had a power blackout.......Flemington Race 8 No 3 Native Soldier $3.20

Not much else in the race and a good price.

Cant get through to Ladbrokes for some reason? I may just have to be there in spirit this week

Good choice Wadda ... was tossing up between Native Soldier & Cliff's Edge and then saw the place odds for Cliff's Edge and that swayed me.  Seemed overs for such a classy galloper.  And Native Soldier has real speed and is getting better.  A good 'Get-On'

Enjoy your trip mate ... we'll be barracking hard here for the Demons tomorrow night.  Most people I've spoken to have tipped us so we're in with more than a chance.

Thanks very much Macca, its well overdue, 4 years since i last ventured anywhere interesting. Pity i cant go to the footy, but i figure that will be just another reason they will keep winning!  Both good horses  there i think also. Lets hope we have a better week than last weeks debacle

Santos was certainly unlucky, kept in a pocket and didn’t see daylight. Wouldn’t completely say he was a certainty beaten as the bolter did finish off the race with a barnstorming run.

And Cliff's Edge couldn't get out after having the perfect run ... not to worry,  the win last night makes up for any losses today.  Still, there's a ways to go today DZ

Apologies for lateness. My best is fighting harada at morpehitville. Race 2 no 1.

Scratched at the barrier BM ... the horse can't take a trick!

With Fighting Harada out I had a bit on 'Brutal' instead ... fought extremely hard to the line and won.  Looks a very likely type leading all the way with the long straight involved.

Casey playing well in the Prelim ... keep the wins coming! ?

Phew, I Am A Star by a wart as the racecaller mentioned. A tad in front now after a little each way on the horse. I got $8 fixed but it blew out to $10, won’t complain though.

Winx....what more can we say.

Winx just way too good for that field ... the Turnball Stakes & Cox Plate awaits but the mighty mare is as good as ever.  Hard to see Winx getting beaten and there is talk that the connections might continue on to the Sydney Autumn.  Why not?

Nice collect for you DZ with 'I Am a Star' ... it was due but the odds were attractive.

Casey need to get a wriggle on

 Cheers Macca.

Loved her last 100m, she was revving it up nicely!

Casey are struggling at the moment Macca. Time to put our coaches hats on, Bombers seem quicker through the middle, maybe we should try Jeffy for a few quick stints in there??

We need to something ... the loser goes home.

Now playing with house money after landing the trifecta with Miss Fabulass.  The 'Frankel' filly looks to have a big future.  A huge turn of foot. 

Wonder if Singo has shouted the bar yet?  He's got a nice horse for the future!

Santos in the Golden Rose. As we’ve said previously, the horse was unlucky last start and some weren’t too happy with the ride Macca. $16 is about the right price, some young guns competing.

Good odds for Ellicazoom DZ ... I'm a fan and the horse is from the Hayes clan as well.  Big fields at Caulfield so the dividends will be up - especially for trifecta punters like me. 

I've included 'Santos' in a Box5 trifecta as well as 'Seabrook' at good odds.  Santos just needs a good possie on the pace and we know how well Seabrook can finish.

Haven’t heard anything about Santos yet. Will try and post the latest if I can. I think he’s a sneaky chance at odds. Having a ball here at the moment, met Allen Jakovich and his brother at a pub a short time ago. Amazing, they had a beer with us and had us in stitches.

Hey hey......reporting in from cloudy Amsterdam. The match is going to be on at 7.30am here so that will be a new one.

Best Bet:

Caulfield Race 8 No 4 Osborne Bulls $6.00

This horse is probably a group horse in the making and this is a test. The bad thing is its a big race with 19 starters, but i think it can win. If not the place is paying 2.70 so each way all day.

Go Dees.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
