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

Gorgs best named horse is Snitty Kitty race 9

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.

 

Super win by Osborne Bulls. Missed the start and what a finish.

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

Well this particular thread has produced a number of winners when we are on song!  Our tips this week are in the post above.

Anyway,  keep an eye out Gorg and good luck today ?

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.

 

Oh come on! The photo finish power has gone out.....there are plenty of IPhones on the track that can substitute.

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!

Reporting in from Naples....it not the beer that kills ya here! Hey they won 5-1, so the town is rockin tonight!

I got a 990/1 6 7 leg all up going with the first 3 legs, Ranier, El Dorado Dreaming (plc) and Osborne bulls all saluting and Patrick Erin (plc) scratched!!...(which will drastically reduce any return of course), but hey! Is there a cash out offer for the final legs?.....nope....

Well done on your selection Macca, very well spotted. Melb Cup beckons.

True dedication to the cause I say!

We're 2 from 2 with A Prince of Arron winning with 3 good chances to come.  5 best bets today with another 'saver' as insurance.

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. 

Sunlight you friggin beauty.

All class that win.

Yes Wadda, you will be seeing it soon in Naples. 

Sunlight got up for you @Wadda We Sing

She is a terrific horse and I reckon we've got a future star WFA sprinter on our hands ... such a fighter and a winner!

That bought home a few multis. If Thinking Big gets up, i might have to fly the Day at the Races crew over! :)

(Ryan Air of course)

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 pressure DZ, no pressure......that why i like going first!

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.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
