As a cigar smoker I usually put a small amount on humidor, didnt. And he cost me a multi and The quaddie

Are you across this new Brokelads website Macca? The format is kinda better i guess once you get used to it, although at times i find it awkward. They dont seem to have cash out offers? I can never see them anyway...

Cash outs are at the whim of the bookies there ... sometimes there,  sometimes not

And I don't have a problem with the new format ... easy as Wadda.

Come on 'Mystic Journey'!

Yep come on Mystic.

I just thought i might have been looking in the wrong spot? In the old format they were always in the box with the pending bets.

Arcadia Queen very impressive.

Set for the Everest but will probably have another run in between

Heartbreaking.

Jamie Kah is just one hell of jockey. Follow.

You don't expect to get done by a 100-1 shot.  Gatting has been racing well in the West but not at this level.

I had a saver on Scales of Justice as I thought that horse was only one that could beat Mystic Journey..

Full marks to the winner though and Jamie Kah.  The horse had a similar run to Mystic so no excuses.

And I thought the unwritten rule was to not question any of our best bets?  Lost on some people.

Yes well you sure dont ! But it does happen about once in a 100 races! As a possible get out, Kah is on an interesting runner in the next. She is ridding a horse Parsifal that had a picket fence in its last campaign and is 10 & 3.30. Just something i noticed the other day.

To be fair on Bin, i dont think he actually reads our best bets sometimes, he just writes what he writes....but yes, that is our unwritten. Dont touch the bbs!

Fair enough

Have I mentioned that I'm ultra superstitious Wadda  ha ha! 

Anyway,  I just got a wimner in Mizzy but I had a 5pick multi going with Mystic Journey as the final leg ... a decent 4 figure payoff too.  Damn annoying.

Nice winner in Mizzy Macca

Jamie Kah nearly won on that South Australian horse Parsifal i just gave you!  Just got done in the last 50m $3.40 for 2nd was pretty good i thought considering its form.

Sorry have i missed something? I can't recall questioning  any of the best bets.

Had funny day. Went hard at three short favs in Sydney. Only Arcadia Queen got up. Defied the pattern too. very impressive win.

But snagged thinking big at good odds and finished the day with a nice win on Mosh Music. Was amazed what it ended up paying. I had assumed it would start around 7-1. Normally goes the other way!

I'm still in a daze and numb from just missing out on nearly 2.0k Wadda ... pardon my indulgence!

Overall I'm in front as I picked up a shortened version of that 5pick multi and got a few other collects. 

Kept thinking that somehow Gatting didn't actually win or that we can somehow fast track a failed swab ha ha

It's not like the horse had an easy run either.  I suppose Harlem won the Australian Cup twice so you never know hey?

It's W.A form is quite reasonable but nothing startling.  Makes you think that the horse it can't get past (Galaxy Star) would do well over in the East as well.  And 'Great Shot' for that matter.

2k gee wiz mate. Thought you bet with cups of coffee! or perhaps that was Monkey?  Nevermind. You have a right to gripe! :)

That horse came last in a listed 1300m race last start didnt it? Perhaps when they were showing the Gatting delivery over and over last night for Warnies 50th we should have twigged!

Still we came very close and we will get some good collects this Spring, im sure of it.

All good mate. I think its just what you mentioned about Mystic Journey. Wasnt me that took issue and no biggie anyway.

Mosh Music was certainly a great win to get and was a bit over the odds i thought as well. But thats the Spring for you and the weight of money. One can often find good runners at great prices.

I got about 130-1 on the 5pick and had  3 coffees on it!  So yeah,  I do bet small to win big but was really confident on all 5.  Your best bet,  DZ's,  Arcadia Queen and Alfarris (place) in the 1st race.  Never been more confident!  The payout could well of been reduced though because of the scratchings. 

I will somtimes purposely design a multi for a 4 figure return.  But I'm usually not that confident with them.  But I was very very confident with our 3pick as well as the 5.  As it was Alfarris won!

But thems the breaks ... with today's ok profit I will load into Purton & Moreira at Sha Tin tomorrow.  Just a series of doubles.  If both jockeys feature I'll probably win.  I do like the 'picked-out' double.  Can usually work it up to about 10-1 up to 15-1  so you only need 1 collect to turn a profit.

The Storm aren't getting it easy here Wadda ... Raiders taking it right up to them

Oh. Wasn't potting Mystic Journey. Thought it would win today.

Lamenting my stupidity of not backing it in its last few starts 

Top win by Mosh Music. Good will to win.

Yeah that was me misreading someone's post again ... my excuse is I was a bit punch-drunk and reeling back in horror when Gatting kept going!

Either that or the Norm Smith curse has infiltrated the racing thread on this site. 

And I got the race 9 exacta with Mosh Music & Royal Ace.  I had Mosh Music marked 2nd so the $13 on offer seemed way overs.  The Mare sure knows how to win ... 7 from 10 now which is a great record.  A black booker BM

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
