Im a bit worried i might have got the track wrong. its been upgraded to a good 3 and the wind has got up and so there is bit of headwind in the home straight. Both factors suit on speed horses with a bit of cover, but he win will make it hard for leaders, Funny actually because i almost always favour on pacers.

My one exception today - ie i mainly selected run on horses - is Thinking Big as i figured he is the best stayer. Conditions will help him now

    im on it!!!

    Yeah it is definitely a real chance ... David Gately has marked it on top.  It looks well suited at the set weights & penalties too.  1100m is ideal.

    I use to be right into racing closer to 20 years ago, don’t  mind a flutter here and there, but always like those in the 7-1 to 13-1 bracket, or big outsiders. Always like the name of a horse too.

    when I was right into it I would know which tracks, conditions etc etc 

    now, so much easier to pick... harder to win ?

    Very impressive wasn't it DZ ... I was never too concerned about the weight over the 1200m as the horse is a Group horse and is very classy. 

    Well done @Wadda We Sing  ... 1 from 1

    I’m enjoying the Channel 7 telecast mainly due to ‘ Cesca’ Cumani. Then, day ruined when they interviewed Dyson Heppell. 

    Melbourne Cup hopefuls in the next.

    Yeah that's a first!

    A reminder that there was triple dead-heat in the Hotham Hcp back in the 50's I believe.  For a long time it was the only triple dead-heat recorded.

    Anyway,  down to the 7/11 for the duracells!

    I've heard that a few of the big betting agencies have taken a bit of a hit this Spring so that might be it Wadda.  My booster odds has been reduced for the last few weeks as well.

    Ha ha ... (now where is that passport!?)

    I got 2 collects from the Sunlight race including a decent percentage of the F4. 

    I really like Thinkin' Big in the Derby too ... I've got it going in a few bets as well.  Fingers crossed!

    Its just not a strong Darby. Sometimes they are, and sometimes they aint. This year it doesnt look like it. But is something hiding? Find out soon enough i guess.

    Ok, so i got an 8 leg multi (yes im mad), paying 762 (reduced) because Patrick Erin was scratched).

    I have the first 5 legs.

    The cash out offer is....wait for it....32.97

    Im feeling these guys pain Macca, perhaps we better pass the hat around?

    No good Wadda, held up and the jockey decided to try and find room on the outside. The eventual winner ‘ Shillelagh’ got the magical run through the inside for a very good win. Funnily enough that run could have been gained by Amphitrite if the jock didn’t leave the rails.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
