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!!!

7 is my lucky number so ...

Keeneland Race 7 No.7 Terebellum 11.00/3.30

Godolphin/Gosden/Dettori

2nd best ...

Keeneland Race 10 No.5 Swiss Skydiver 4.50/1.40

But the racing is high class with any number of high class performers.  Buyer beware JV!

Was spewing... Asked my brother & father what they liked in the last at Flemington, they were both on the #8. I looked at the $20 odds and laughed... They both had $50 the win at $21s ? Why I didn't follow I do not know

Also another topic of convo... 

Reckon the channel 10 coverage of the Melbourne Cup carnival has been terrible. Usually 7 has the rights to Sydney races which is a good filler, I found 10 padding between races with garbage. Also sky not having the right to show Flemington is a huge mistake also. I found myself watching 78 over the past week & without HD isn't great but still between coverage than 10.

It had run a slashing trial (Leiter) but horses run slashing trials all the time and can't produce on the day

I was on the favourite Plaquette and it loomed large but no kick in the last furlong.  It looked the winner for quite a while

Been an interesting Spring for me ... I usually get a couple of really good collects which covers my overall outlay but every week this Spring I've broken even or thereabouts every Saturday.  Bit boring really!

Still,  it's a great sport/hobby and the thrill of winning anytime is always exciting.  Today I got a decent collect out of Arcadia Queen which is extra pleasing because of the class of the horse and the race itself (The McKinnon)

See I work Saturdays so it's only ever audio for me ... I watch a lot of replays though!

Ch78 gets a workout.  Previously I've attended the big days on any number of occasions

To me it's all about the racing and the build up to the races.  The shmaltz doesn't interest me

I really like the way the racing is covered in the UK and Ireland ... all about the horses,  trainers,  jockeys & racing.  Pure racing - brilliant!

That didn't end well!

You did ask!

My strike rate overseas is about 1 in 3 ... 2 out 3 nights there's zero collects and the other I'll do well or very well

Now,  if I only knew which 2 nights to disregard I'd be home free JV!


Replay time ... first of all the 7 main features from Derby Day (Flemington & Rosehill)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Replays from Cup day,  Oaks day & Stakes day

Once the Spring carnival is done we usually have a spell from the Best Bets until the Autumn

But there's still plenty of great racing inbetween including the big Sandown meeting next Saturday and then the Ballarat Cup meeting the following Saturday

Then the Ascot Group 1 racing from W.A,  Summer carnival from QLD and the racing out of Melbourne & Sydney still attracts good fields because of the prizemoney (which includes the $1Million 'Hunter' at Newcastle next Saturday & the $1Million 'Gong' at Kembla Grange the following Saturday)

And the Magic Millions in early January gets my attention as well. 

I'll still be here posting up the odd preview and replay and if you've got any tips,  post 'em up! 

 

 

Excellent card at Sandown tomorrow with some real value about

Avilius ($4) the class runner in the Zipping Classic and Gator likes Allibor ($12) in the Guineas at good odds. 

The $1Million Hunter up at Newcastle is a wide-open betting race.  Ranier is the $6 favourite but Trumbull ($7) & Fiesta ($8) have real claims

Agree, some good races tomorrow. I’m out all day so won’t see much, but will throw on before I leave.


Agree on Avillus Macca, class above these but will be interesting to see if his peaked this prep & how his pulled up the Cup. I'm going with Future Score ?

Very good point about the end of the prep's versus the fresher horses.  Always that way at this Sandown meeting

Anyway,  got Anamoe up in the first with Ollie on board (double winnings too) so I'm close to playing with house money for the rest of the day JV!

Good luck to all today!

Had a good day thanks to Gator ... tipped me into 5 winners all at each-way odds (or thereabouts)

When he is on he's close to spot on.

For those who are interested,  Gator's tips are freely available through best bets & racing.com

I had a decent day, would have been better on a full collect on  Alliblr that I had at 11.25 instead of The $5.40 I got die to deductions

Same here but once the favourite was scratched Allibor's chances of winning increased a lot.  I originally managed to get 15-1 boosted but ended up getting 15-2 after deductions!

Still decent odds considering Allibor was a virtual moral to get into the finish even with Aysar running

 


I ended up $85 on the day, which considering I was out drinking from 1to 11 I thought I did ok. I was up more but threw on a few speculative trifectas that if I wasn’t up a fair chunk and half cut prob wouldn’t have tried. Got close with one tho. But stopped betting before I did something completely stupid ??

Haha!

I'd take that return anytime Gorg ... close enough to a $5k profit per annum.  But most punters are behind if the truth be known

And that sort of return pays for 2 week's holiday within Australia ... if one knows how to find the best deal's (who wants to travel overseas anymore anyway? haha)

It's how I generally go about betting on a Saturday ... a series of small bets to win moderate amounts with a couple of spec bets to win big.  For instance,  I'm using a few bonus bets at the Donald races today

And any bonus bets,  matched deposits & boost's all contribute towards a possible profit

So an interest becomes a hobby which then can become a profitable exercise,  however ...

#AlwaysGambleResponsibly

3 big Stakes races on tomorrow at 3 different venue's ... good quality Magic Millions race at Ballarat for the 3&4yo's as well

All 3 Stakes races are good betting races too

I’ve been on Junipal last 5 I reckon, prob will again but affair is a great horse and this field is decent.

The race is so wide open that the exacta could pay quite well (apart from the other exotics)

So that's where I'm going and I'm including the 2 that you've mentioned Gorg


Gator's tips at Ballarat tomorrow

 

image.png.85d34cbe258943ca2d3616ec394d6bc1.png

Well not a good day for me, a few seconds so bonus bets but no winners. Had a good three weeks so no complaints. See how I go on the nfl games Monday.

Hope you all did better than me.

I'm in front after getting Big Boy Roy & Excess Funds up ... 2 value runners winning is sometimes all that you need. 

But my exacta's haven't really delivered today.  Tough going trying to find a winner on Ballarat Cup day at the best of times but even the exotics are difficult

Got a couple of bets going at Ascot and if I get one up I'll end up having a good day

I sometimes do a pick 4 or 5 on the NFL ... Halftime/Fulltime the preference. I lean on 1 or 2 road teams if it looks like being one of those types of weeks (we should know by now!)

Wow! ... a more than decent performer is 'Inspirational Girl' ... cruised past them in the Railway under hands and heels by Pike

Meteoric rise for the lightly raced 5yo Mare but a trip to the East has to be on the cards soon enough

The All Star Mile in the Autumn looks ideal but the way she hit the line you'd imagine she'll get 2000m.

Have you blokes had a look at Winterbottom at Ascot today? (Race 9)

I don't mind 'Elite Street' (#13) at the value (20-1)

Trekking the obvious standout but a bit short for my liking

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
