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!!!

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
