Any Sha Tin tips @Macca shoot them through!

I couldn't find anything that jumped out at me but I usually cherry-pick the Purton & Moreira mounts and go down the exotics path.  And that's what I've done today

It should be noted that Purton's strike rate is down a bit this season whilst Moreira is riding really well.  And both jockeys are more often than not on the best horses in nearly every race that they are engaged in.

Race 7 (G3 Feature) is a good betting race though (trifecta or F4?) and I'd expect one of Exultant (Purton),  Dark Dream (Moreira) or Furore (Teetan) to greet the judge.

It beats whatever donkeys are going around at Mornington that’s for sure!

Anyone like anything for the cup?

I was at a luncheon last week where Nick Williams said Latrobe is the best horse in their stable since Green Moon.

I doubt he was foxing i’m pretty  sure the Williams are just passionate about winning the cup and not trying to play funny buggers.

Barrier 22 might make it tough.

note Macca’s post above about Moreira. Looks to be on one of the more fancied chances.

I have narrowed it down to 8 - 10 winning chances Wrecker and there are possibly another 5 or 6 that could get into the finish.

Might be 10-1 the field in terms of which horses are the punters favourites. 

It is said every year but this year's race is the most wide open I can ever remember.  And we don't know a great deal about many of the horses.

I'm going to use the Cailfield Cup as a guide but with zero confidence. 

In the end boxing 6 in the exotics is probably the go. And then you have to get lucky.

Finche & Constantinople probably go in but who knows?  Il Paradiso is being talked about.  Mer de Glace?  Vow And Declare?

Yeah I agree Macca, everyone at work who punts regularly is throwing hands up in the air. I’ll see how the track is looking after the first 5 races and then see if anything helps but tbh I think it’s will be a guess at best and yeah a 6 boxed tri isn’t a bad option.

I love my horses and horse racing but I just think Waller is the NSW version of Weir. Too good to be true.

Every time I backed one of Weir's horses on form his other bloody thing would win. I have a gut feel Youngstar will continue the tradition tomorrow when everyone else is on Finche you watch Youngstar run out of its skin. I'd be putting it in every multiple.

Ha ha!

Spoken like a true punter!

I reckon it's more the Hayes camp for those "Stablemate's" saluting.  Gets a lot of 10-1 shots winning too. 

They set certain horses for certain races and they are very good at it.  Pity we're often none the wiser beforehand.

As for Waller ... he's got the cream of the good horses and lots of them.  Stands to reason he'll win a lot (especially the Group races)

Feel free to chime in with your best bet on the weekend too Wrecker.  We've got about 7 or 8 participants and it's a bit of fun. 

We went 8: 4 - 1 - 0 last weekend.

I reckon Twilight Payment can run first 4 and will blow everyone out of the multiples. One to include for mine. Otherwise, a very even year and like everyone else unsure how to do the form across the different countries. I've been  told Ireland is good this year but how could you possibly know? Even if the best horses comes it might not travel well. Don't discount the ones from across the ditch (NZ)

Here’s my throw at the stumps for the F4.

1. Constantinople 

2. Vow And Declare 

3. Cross Counter 

4. Prince Of Arran

Good luck all.

And just like that the Hayes camp win the first race (the 2yo Ottawa St) with a 10-1 shot (Aryaaf)

We just need to find another certainty.   Can't find anything at HQ's

Here's a couple from elsewhere that I looked at

Morph R9 No.4  Grabbing Glory

Kensington R8 No.1 Jazzland

Treble paying 11-1

A joke to pass the time until the big one.

Two female teachers Mrs Kay and Mrs Knight took a group of students from grades one and three for a field trip to Flemington Racecourse for the 2019 Melbourne Cup. When it was time to take the children to the bathroom, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. Mrs Kay was assigned to the boys and Mrs Knight the girls. Mrs Kay was waiting outside the men’s toilet when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal. Having no choice she went and helped the little boys hoisting them up one by one. As she lifted one boy up she couldn’t help but notice that he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring at his equipment Mrs Kay said, ‘You must be in Grade three?’ ‘No ma’am’, he replied. My name is Frankie Dettori and I’m riding Master of Reality in the Cup, but I really appreciate your help.’

Well leg 1 salutes ... waiting around 3 hours for the next 2 legs!

The inside going seems to be the go too. 

 

Awesome finish to a great race. Needs a rewatch.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
