I was told the same Macca.

And if the rain arrives as expected the 10yo mudlark's odds may get quite skinny.

Drawn wide and there is plenty of early pace but even 2 or 3 wide on the pace over 1000m will suit the horse if we reach a Soft7 or worse.

Got one for us Gorg?

Nah I don’t, I usually struggle big time at Moonee Valley, for some reason I can’t do well there. 
 

Well actually if you want something that won’t win but good chance to place is R7, no 8 La tigeresa.

Best Bet 

Randwick Saturday 

Race 2 No.14 It’s Me (W) $5.50

Nice pick DZ

Only audio today but the 4yo lightly raced mare looked quite impressive by the sounds of it. Won with a leg in the air!  Bit better than Highway class you'd reckon.

And the ADATR crew were heading for a near certain double if Jungle Edge had have had a chance to run.

But I got the win & exacta from your choice so can't complain.

It's no certainty we'll even make it to R8 at the moment...

Too true RF ... welcome to the thread by the way.  The more the merrier I say.

I bet all around Oz on a Saturday arvo so the Valley being called off wasn't that annoying. 

How good was Verry Elleegant yesterday?  A crack field and she did a lot of work and then fought back and won after being headed.  Gutsy win.

I was on Master of Wine (with a bit of an interest bet) but the horse needed the run.

Thanks @Macca. Have been a keen reader for some time, but now being home all weekend rather than somewhere like, I don't know, the footy I thought it was a good time to dive in.

Yes likewise, I was looking more at Randwick (out first leg of the quaddie didn't help) and Morphettville where went ok in the last. I never seem to go well at the Valley. 

Looking forward to Caulfield and the Memsie on Saturday.

Ok, well looks like the Group action starts up again this Saturday, so i guess were are back @Macca @Dee Zephyr @rolling fog @Gorgoroth

Welcome to Rolling Fog also !

We dont have any hard and fast rules here really, but we all usually enter a Best Bet for the weekend preferably by Friday night, so that everyone has time to read the thread and put a few coins on the selections. Make sure you enter: The Meeting venue, race number and horse name and number and whether your selection is for a win (W) or place (P) and its current market price $, so there is no confusion. I always tally them up for a multi with the figure, but you can use the bets anyway you damn well like !

We dont keep scores and we dont care if the selections dont win. Its more for the comradary, fun and teamwork. We only say that there is only 1 selection in any given race. ie: if someone has put a selection in for a certain race, then no other horse in that race can be selected.(saves arguments) .

Lets have a great Spring carnival, thank god for the races during lockdowns and go the  mighty Red & Blue.

Stay safe.

Biffen & JV7 grace us with their presence from time to time as well, Wadda. 

When I saw Rubisaki listed in the last race I just knew it would be your best bet!  An ADATR favourite along with Osborne Bulls and a few others.

Gator likes Arcadia Queen in the Memsie Stakes and I'm on at $8.50 ... but it's not my best bet.  Need some more think time but I've got a couple in mind.

Yes, i see, well all welcome of course. I was trying to think who else drops by....so cheerio @Biffen and @JV7

Memsie at Caulfield always signals the beginning of Spring to me and always a tough race. Sure was a spring day up here Macca....chooks went mad !

Weve had a few retirements since the Autumn and some of our favs notably, Super Seth, Microphone and Loving Gaby. Loving Gabys injury was not career threatening and she would have only missed the Spring. Unfortunately, dare i say it, greedy connections made the decision to go to stud. We sure didnt see the best of her and thats a pity.

Yep,  it's not just the Colts that are retired early these days but as always,  the new breed take centre stage to replace those retirements. 

Another star we'll never see again is Yes Yes Yes.  That performance in the Everest last year was breathtaking (I only wish I'd backed it!)

The cups will be different with way more local representation.  A reminder of how things once were Wadda. 

We might even see a lightweight Aussie horse get into the Melbourne Cup field a la the way Bart used to get his runners in.  I do miss those days when that scenario would happen regularly.

I follow a few tipsters as lets face it, they are going to know a lot more than I will ever know!

Notably Gator (David Gately) in Melbourne and James Jordan in Adelaide but Paul Joice up in Sydney is also quite good.  More so at plucking out a real roughie.  So here's his roughie for Saturday. 

Rosehill Race 4 No.9 Merlinite $41 (Win) $6 (Place) Glen Boss is on board.

Make of that what you will.

Gotta big tip on RACE 3 No 7 AT CAULFIELD.

MY GOLD BRACELET.

Been smashed into 5s.

NZ form good, being set for Cox Plate where it is listed simply as Gold Bracelet.

There is another horse in OZ named Gold Bracelet which won in Taree this week.

 

I also reckon Begoodtoyamother and Humma Humma are at ridiculous odds at Caulfied today.

    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
