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. :)

 

Sorry. Didn't see yours

 

EL sets a new track record (57.27) at Sale. A bit short in price for my liking but pleased to see the horse get a win. It probably didn’t want another 50 metres as the second runner was closing hard. Understandable though after running a quick time.

Dan Zephyr received a mention by the trainer in the post-race interview. That was a pleasant surprise, the Zeph is still in people’s thoughts.

Looked impressive all the same DZ ... the horse is going to win more races,  that's for sure.  Depends on where they place the horse but with that 1000m speed,  the metro wins will come. 

I just had a look-see today but it got around the final turn nicely and looks to have a bright future.

Agree Macca, it was a very good win. I liked the way the jockey just pushed through the field from the jump and led them up.

Interesting to see where they go from here, trainer said sometimes with four year old geldings you just have to go through the grades. Wait and see I guess although I’d love the horse to get a win for mate in town. It’s been a while for them.

Bendigo Cup tomorrow and a decent field has been assembled ... any of the top 6 can feature and there's a couple down the list that might surprise.  Outside of the favourite 'Furrion' there are good odds to be had with the next 5 in the betting.

Another fabulous line-up of races for Derby Day with each race having at least 3 or 4 standout runners that readily come to mind in.  For those who prefer the exotics,  it's a punters paradise.  I'm back to my default mode of Box5 trifectas but as always,  an element of luck is always involved.  Feeling reasonably confident,  all the same.

Finding the best bets is tricky as well ... a number of our previous picks are running around again including Sunlight,  Oohood,  Osborne Bulls,  Cliff's Edge,  Le Romain,  Don't Give a Damn (Rosehill) and a few others.

Great day coming up Macca. I read in an article the other day 5 of the 9 favourites in early betting for Derby Day are NSW raiders. DK Weir says bring it on. 

The Best Bet will be a tricky proposition this week. I’m leaning towards Amphitrite again in a tough race. Dean Yendall is the light weight specialist. 

 

Having a look through the Darby Day card. thanks Macca, so many good horses and absolutely stand out value for some top runners. Whats with Sunlight at 4.60? Broken leg?

You only have to get 2 right and youll be well in front.


Best Bet:

Flemington Race 3 No 1 Osborne Bulls $3.10

ADAR has already had 2 wins from Ozzie, lets make it 3.

I wish i could watch this day of racing. It begins at 1.45am here. Pretty hard timing which ever way i try and do it. Hope i can catch a few.

I think my strategy will involve doubles, triples and parlays. There are any number of combinations involving places and wins through the card. many good horses are paying really good place dividends. A few examples are Sixties Groove 2.80, Oohood 2.80, Le Romain 3.60....theres 28/1 right there.

I will do a few trifectas on some of the main races as well. Hartnell, Le Romain, Land of Plenty and Iconoclasm is looking at me. Not sure you leave out Cliffs Edge either....

Have a great day everyone and May the Horse be with You.

Tough day as Derby Day always is.

Best Bet:

 Flemington Race 6 Number 15

Amphitrite $4.60 

G’day guys. I have a few good bets scattered across the country tomorrow but focusing on the big meeting I will settle on:

Flemington Race 6 No. 3 Shillelagh.

In the post directly above yours DZ already has a tip in race 6.

Do you have another one PD as we don't want to be betting against each other.

Oh! Sorry about that. I wasn’t aware rules applied. Just ignore mine.

There is no need to apologise PD ... we each put forward a tip and the unwritten rule is that you steer clear of a race that has been taken up already.

The tips are for the benefit of others so having 2 tips in the 1 race defeats the purpose of the concept.

What we are doing here is a departure from the usual way of receiving tips ... which can often leave the punter scratching his or her head if there are a multitude of different tips in any given race.  It is more of a team concept here where we often trust each others tips.

Edited by Macca

Just to clear things up ... we put forward our own tips but putting forward 'received' tips are always welcome.  Everyone loves the hot tip. 

If there is a clash,  we can sort that out as individuals.  So the above conversation is a case of cross-wires rather than anything else. 

Anyway,  anyone got a tip for the Valley tonight? ?  The fields are a bit on the thin side with a host of BM64's on show.

Nothing tonight Macca. I was told at work today to look out for Flemington Race 1 Number 4 Quackerjack tomorrow. Decent odds of around $14. Barrier could be tricky though but it’s worth a small each way bet to set up the day should it salute.

Nathan Exelby (who?) of the Courier Mail has tipped Quackerjack to win and he's the only tipster to include the horse in any way.  Which kinda makes one sit up and take notice DZ! ?

Carbine Club Stakes Tips (Herald/Sun)


Just a look at Bowmans rides. Hes got Ranier in r1 Osborne Bulls in r3 and Hartnell r7. These are his best 3 i think. In the last he has one called From Within which has had 4 wins and is a smart type according to Hugh. Could be a good one for the Get Out Stakes.

Great to watch that again. What was the wash up with Kings Will Dream?

My best is Osborne bulls. Race 3 no 1.

Its run on rubbish ground in the Everest was huge (cost me the trif - which I thought I had from the vision). Redzel form is primo and ob is a winner. Also suspect track will suit run on horses. Which I hope is right as I have made my selections based on that.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
