Got a strong tip at Echuca Race 2 #14 - Sweet Home Alabama.. It's short enough $2.50 but thought I'd pass on

Just pipped!

 

Tavidance was tardy out of the stalls which put paid to its chances

But I got the exacta in the race ... got into the habit of putting our best bets into an exotic as another means of getting a collect

If the each-way or value pick wins the exacta usually pays well (as long as one has the 2nd place getter included!)

Now for the Cup.  A number of eyes will be on Tiger Moth from the wide barrier but I reckon it will settle back and attempt to come all the way around the field (Cross Counter style)

Yeah Macca I’m the same, I had outrageous in that race at $9 so I was stoked and I got the early quaddie, with a Small %, sin to win and the place of Grinzinger Lord on top of 3 bet returns means I’m in a good spot already today. 
 

Good luck in the cup

As for the Cup,  my roughie is 'Twilight Payment' but there are any number of good chances that can win or get into the finish

Twilight is a roughie a lot like

 

Ended up getting the exacta which turned out alright. 

Twilight Payment led from start to finish and a worthy winner.  Tiger Moth was brave in defeat

Did you have it included in anything Gorg?

Nah, stuffed up and went master of reality instead of Twighlight in my quaddie... could kick myself.

Ah well ... you'll probably do well with the Oaks on Thursday.  I'll post up a bit of a preview later on. 

Real shame about Anthony Van Dyck and that's the other side of the sport we love. 

 

Interesting couple of races to finish things off ... swoopers might prevail in both races

#6 in the last for me.

I was on Exhilarates as well ... thought The Astrologist was going to go past it but the horse fought on very well.  Great ride by McEvoy

A good way to end the day ... in front by a good margin!

Now for the Oaks!

Edited by Macca

Here's the Field & Form for the VRC Oaks

But tomorrow the Kyneton Cup is to be held.  First run in 1873!  We love havin' a bet in Oz don't we! Looks a good betting race after looking at the Form - one for the exotics

Field & Form Kyneton Cup ... Wednesday 4/11 @ 4.40pm

 

As for the Oaks,  Montefilia should at least get into the finish as the filly is a class act but the race is over 2500m and there have been many upset winners over the years

Star of Eden,  Vilanculos & Salto Angel offer up some real value if one is playing the exotics

Half a head mate. Was listening and seems it was quite close!

Ahhh Red Chase who I've tipped a couple of times in here & has failed us as a short fav.. Salutes at $8 up in doomben! Had it in a small multi but not straight out ffs

I was going to put money on Humidor in Tokyo but with all the problems I didn’t and it saluted. No idea on odds tho

Curious... I've got a 3 leg horse multi as below:

Bivouac - ✅

Red chase - ✅ 

Viduka - Race 5 morphetville which was abandoned I assumed bet would be void and bet would be paid put on the other 2 runners. Should running those remaining races on Monday carry my bet over ? It says pending for that leg. I put that bet on under the view it would be run today, what if it pours rain between now and Monday & the track goes to good to heavy ? Unless with the issues today they haven't got around to voiding that bet yet

Oh really?

When did Humidor race,  today?

I loaded up on Arcadia Queen with bonus bets but should have backed Bivouac as well. 

The double was there obviously ... the 2 best horses at the top of their game.

About to watch the replays but both sounded like they were ultra-impressive winning in style

You make a very good point JV

I'd be making a phone call

Yeah however it's only a small outlay & the pay out is $160 in difference so I guess to let it ride on a $2 fav to get the 3rd leg but still if I have $50 rather than $5 you'd be asking questions... I thought no point trying tonight with all the issues they had today

Yep, today.

I did the double of Biv and AQ so that was a nice collect, otherwise 5 bonus bets and a couple of places for me so all even for the day.

Morvada fought back well but the winner too good ... annoying when you get beaten by a horse that you've previously backed that has won (Sansom)

Does your head in!

Still, marginally in front today so will have a dash at the Breeders Cup meeting (Keeneland) in the early hours.  There's some real value about ... 9 x G1 Races!

For those who are interested the full form guide (and tips) for the Breeders Cup can be found at www.racingpost.com

Most of the betting agencies here are covering the Keeneland races

I'll be up having a couple of beers so lead me to some winners Macca! Betting on harness & dogs not getting me anywhere ?

 

Edit: unless I'm having breakfast beers maybe not!!!

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
