Geelong Cup on Wednesday and it looks a good betting race too ... the locals (or newly acquired locals ?) have real claims as do the overseas contingent. 

If chancing your arm on the exotics a mix of locals & newly arrived horses is probably the go.  The 1, 3 & 6 are all having their first start in the country and all 3 have decent overseas form for this sort of race. 

Geelong Cup 2400m $350k Group 3

Goodness me Macca, Withhold beat home 33 runners two starts ago and that run was in October last year. A field of 34 in a flat race? It’s common for the steeples, can’t say i have ever seen a field of that size on the flat.

Withhold is 33rd in the ballot for the Melbourne Cup and $15 to win it.

There seems to be quite a few of these types of huge fields mainly at Newmarket or Royal Ascot in contrast to a lot of their Group 1's that often only have small fields.  I suppose that is just how they do it over there.  

The topweight 'Finche' is lightly raced but has raced and performed well at Group level or listed races in all but it's first start.  All at around about the Geelong Cup distance.  I am not tipping it or any other horse to win outright however as the exotics is my caper with these sorts of races. 

I've narrowed it down to 5 winning chances and about a total of 7 or 8 that could get into the finish.  It's a good betting race DZ if one can figure out the form ?

If my NFL tips are anything to go by, I'll be expecting them in a few hours.

Meh. Not my day today.

It was a very good win by Runaway in the Geelong Cup,  all the same.  Can't say I had it amongst my chances but not to worry. 

Runaway will have to rely on a hefty weight penalty to get into the Melbourne Cup now.  The race should probably make a horse exempt for the Cup in my opinion.  Here's the race ...

 

 


Best Bet

Saturday  Moonee Valley  Race 9  No.4  Avilius  $2.70 (Place Only)

Assuming all 8 horses start in the race.

'El Magnificence' running in the 5th Race at the Valley tomorrow night?

G’day Macca.

There’s a strong chance the horse will be scratched tomorrow. They will go like last week’s pay in this 955m dash and being drawn in the middle might present some difficulties in terms of where to settle the horse. Not an ideal first-up race. Too much pressure I believe.

‘El’ has also accepted at Sale in the last race on Sunday. This presents a better first-up assignment, less pressure and a bigger track. Prize money is obviously much better tomorrow night but the aim is to have him firing for the whole campaign.

Edit: They weren’t expecting to make the Moonee Valley field with the low rating but when they did it would’ve generated some strong discussion for the best and most logical option.

I will look out for it on Sunday DZ ... as well as that race the $200k Sale Cup looks an interesting race with DK Weir having a couple of runners including 'Plein Ceil' which would have to be a decent show. 

In other news 'Latrobe' is out of the Melbourne Cup and will instead run in the $2Million McKinnon Stakes on the last day of the 4 day Carnival.  Decent prizemoney for a alternate race hey?  Would Winx run in the McKinnon?  Anyway,  read more at ... RacingPost.com

Can’t see the $1.40 lasting too long on the tote for Winx.

I dont think its a good idea to have Best bets in the same race BM? Thoughts? Its not a rivalry thing as I see it. Or perhaps you didnt see other peoples bets. Good pick by the way. :)

 

 

Winx just seems to be getting better ... didn't get out of 3rd gear.  Bowman gave the horse the perfect ride and the horse was not extended. 

However,  2 lengths to Benbatl,  5 lengths to Humidor and 8 lengths the Avilius.  I reckon they just keep racing the mighty mare ... certainly the Autumn carnival but why not another Spring campaign including another Cox Plate?

4 Cox Plates. Dont think that will be beaten for a while. She went around the outside too, so ran further than the others who were all on the inside as well. We are all blessed to witness such greatness. 

Why not indeed Macca. Im sure they havent ruled it out.

  • 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

    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.
