We’d make a great panel on Sky ?, we’ve done our bit, time for the ponies to come to the party.

What surprises me is how short a number of the favourites are Deeza ... nearly all of the shorties are up against any number of other quality horses in each of the 10 races where they are hot favourites and as we know,  bad luck and interference can happen in any given race. 

For instance,  if Nature Strip misses the start by even a fraction of a second,  that might put pay to the horses' chances of winning.  It has great early speed but it sometimes jumps a bit tardy.  Big field with a lot of early speed - Nature Strip needs to jump well.

And sometimes drawing an inside barrier might also mean that a horse needs to be ridden for luck (unless that horse has good gate speed)  A good day for the exotics I reckon!

n.b.  JJ might be hosting from Morphettville again today as his tips haven't been posted up on Racing.com ... ugh.

What actually technically sets the odds Macca. Is it more bookmakers math or weight of money? i always wonder.

Well there's false favourites and other horses that seem like they are 'overs' ... the late money or lack of late money is often an accurate factor too.  

I've got a cousin who was formerly a leading bookmaker (retired now) and I reckon they know a lot more than we know.  Their very existence is primarily based on getting the numbers right.  

The bookies would be loving all the money on the shorties ... they will almost certainly know that they can't all win and of course they can lay-off anyway.  Punters are attracted to the short odds as well as the value. 

Multi's in horse racing are in the bookies favour too - offering the early cash-out isn't necessarily of benefit to the punters either.  It's a way for the bookies to cut their losses.  And multi's are hard to get anyway (especially with the horses)  There's a lot of small donations that add up to a large total!

Ok so i guess the bookies set the early price and as the money comes in they change?

Please extend a warm invitation to your cousin to come and join A day at the Races crew.

Avilius (no.8) is actually in race 9 (Peter Young Stakes) not race 8 anyway Wadda ... you may be thinking of Alizee in race 6. 

I get both horses mixed up as well sometimes - I'll leave it to you to figure out the combined odds ?

What excitement? I only played the theme song about 100 times on the way into work after the game.

Back on topic, keen to see how News Girl goes in the 4th at Caulfield. Two good runs behind Crack The Code although it didn’t run too well last night, mate says the step up to 1400 shouldn’t be a problem.

Ha ha ... can't see that happening even if he was a Demon supporter!

In fact,  of all the Demon mates and acquaintances I have,  I'm not sure any of them have even heard of Demonland

You mean the racing channel Wadda ... yeah saw that and we didn't get JJ's tips as he is hosting (again) Instead of that we got Shane Adair's tips and he is like a stand-in for Sir Lawrence Olivier at a West End play!

Morphettville Race 8 No.12 Behave ($2.30) ... too short for me although maybe in a multi with something else is the go. 

2 hot favourites beaten at Rosehill already (Burning Crown & Tassort)  More multi money for the Bookies.  And that's apart from the big money laid on for the win on both those horses.

Here goes Newsgirl race up now.

Well theyre coming from the back today.

What factors influence that Macca. One week a leaders track bias and not the next time? Is it the wind??

The Caulfield track is racing well as it often does ... Moonee Valley is more often than not a leaders track and we should bet that way accordingly (as a general rule)  Caulfield is not in that category.   We've got the speed maps to help us at the Valley and Caulfield so in all actuality,  there are no excuses.  But there again,  I don't like looking for excuses.  The risk is always my risk.

Anyway,  3 red-hot favourites have bitten the dust now (Melb & Syd) ... Zousain run into 2nd in the Zeditive but the horse never really looked like it.  $1.45 is crazy odds anyway.  Not sure that Zousain is that good a horse after that effort.  Didn't get my money Wadda - just an observation.

DZ was saying someone put 37,250 just before the jump on Zedative. Should have kept the 250 to get home!

One punter just said goodbye to in excess of $37k after slapping it on Zousain. Can’t even say the punter got a run for their dosh. 

I say Insane, Zousain.

Who are these people with all that expendable income? haha

The horse (Zousain) was rated nearly 30 points better than its rivals but you'd never know that watching the race.

The Autumn Sun next up and its trial form has been ordinary.  Should have too much class in this race though.

They would be better off punting on A Day at the Races instead Macca!

 

Made hard work of it the champ (The Autumn Sun) ... is it the same horse? 

Next up is the Randwick Guineas in 2 weeks time.  Not sure the horse will start at prohibitive odds though.  One might get $3 or a shade better.

The big boy got up for 3rd ... there's a collect on the place.  Nice work Wadda

Got it going in the multi as well of course.  What a horse is Hartnell! 

Full credit to Alizee though - the horse is a top rater.

  • 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.

    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.
