Always need a bit of luck

Shot of Irish missing the start made things easier for Junipal

Big time! They're saying hold all tickets on RSN but I think that'll come to nothing. 

Have never seen that before either...

I was on Age of Chivalry as well and it was a good tip by RF ... just beaten by a real good horse in Showmanship.

I'm in front with our tips anyway with 2 real chances to come.

Ended up in front for the day Wadda but what could have been hey?  We started off like a house on fire.  Still managed 4 collects from our tips so no complaints.  My motto is that if you keep getting collects you'll end up in front.  I was once again at work all day so only a bit of audio intermittently. 

Strike Rate 11: 5-2-1

Australian Group Racing

And for those with a keen interest in overseas racing there's a full program of group racing to be held at Churchill Downs tomorrow morning (including the time-honoured Kentucky Derby) 

A couple of other Group 1's are on offer and Sha Tin is back in operation as of tomorrow as well.  The ADATR thread never sleeps.

Kentucky Derby Group 1 2000m $3.6Million 9.00am

Stakes Program: Churchill Downs (7 Stakes Races in all from 4.55am)

Haydock (UK) Sprint Cup Group 1 (12.25am)

Saratogo (USA) Woodward Hcp Group 1 (7.30am)

Sha Tin Sunday (Full Program) ... Race 8 is the feature event

It was a top day i thought Macca, pity you had to work. Hopefully you get to see some good racing over the Spring. Definitely here now. We were pretty unlucky in the latter races, although mine was well beaten.

Im also wondering Macca....if somebody posts their BB as a place, and it runs a place, is that not a correct selection, so therefore its a winner? Thats how i came up with the tally of 3 winners today. Conversely, if someone posts a horse to win and it runs a place then its a place.  I guess it doesnt really matter, just think we have a better strike rate than 5, i think its 6. But it is a bit confusing i guess.

I'm not sure Wadda .. we got 2 winners and a 2nd last week I believe

And today we got 2 winners and a place pick up (3 correct then?) ... as well as a 2nd & a 3rd from 2 other win picks today

I think it's just the 5 total wins Wadda but by the way,  that's more than decent in terms of turning a profit.

And I don't think I've seen a Saturday race live in nearly 18 months now.  But I'm in the business of making money so long live capatalism!!

Nearly twice as busy because of this damn virus.  Go figure

Anyway,  playing with house money overnight & @ Sha Tin tomorrow ... the last 4 races (Quaddie legs) at Sha Tin tomorrow seem to be good betting races too.  Moreira & Purton feature heavily of course

Yes was an excellent day. Ok, long live capitalism haha....its certainly got a big dent in itself lately, the stazi might be making a comeback soon.

I recommend catching a few replays if you get the chance. Some excellent finishes and Dwanne Dunns barrier headbutt, hope he doesnt get suspended for destruction of VRC property !

That was an excellent place pick. They are often a lot harder than you think and especially at a good price.

Really well done.

Yeah sitting up late watching the Tour de France & a bit of the racing from the UK Wadda so will watch the replays in between. 

Didn't even hear the 'Nature Strip' race ... but I thought the horse might not have been quite ready.  Will be next time you'd imagine (get better odds?) but by gee,  Gytrash is a good horse.  Just keeps winning against good company.

Just got a 12 leg multi on the port game so I’ve finished the night in style. Happy days.

12 legs! 

Did you win enough to purchase the MFC Gorg?

We need someone of good standing to get in there and clean the joint out.  Drain the swamp or whatever!

I had a couple of SGM's on for the Port vs North game too and both fell over by one leg!

Higgins +20 touches, ended on 19 and Duursma +15 touches, ended on 14.

I swear my SGM's are cursed, I'm the master of falling over by one leg!!

    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
