    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.

    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!!

    Italian GP qualifying is also on right now if that's your scene.

    I've got a few quid on Aussie Dan to make it through to Q3.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
