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

I’ve not looked at any races today tbh, will check it out now.

    I live for Saturday racing ... can't get enough of it.  Used to be the footy but we don't play all that much on a Saturday arvo these days

    And I no longer play cricket so it's all about the horses on a Saturday now

    I’m working 6 days a week at the min, so I’ve spent all morning and up until now doing chores etc just haven’t had the time. And tbh I lessen off once main spring carnival is done unless I go to the races. But I’m on NFL games this time of year.

    Good work Gorg

    Fantastic!

    Bonus bucks in the off season!

    Hope you got a nice collect (as I did)

    It drifted right out in the betting but I'm not complaining.  Thought 20-1 was overs

    Did the same and 'Elite Street' has definitely got a future too.  Scooted around them with a real turn of foot

    Another W.A. horse that could end up over in the Eastern States.  Lightly raced but has real speed against the clock.  It wasn't a great field but it still beat a very good horse in Trekking home

    Dare I say it ... an ADATR Blackbooker

    Winners are grinners!! haha

    Got told #10 Da Deputy in the Jerhico at Warrnambool is a good chance. 
    paying $16

    I'll go with that Gorg ... excellent each-way value.  A little disappointed with the support card for such a terrific event (The Jericho) but hopefully over time that will be addressed

    Anyway,  a full field of 14 (with the 4 emergencies scratched) augers well for the concept

    Well a roughy won it, just not the right roughy ?

    Yeah,  Count Zero won at big odds ... its form back in the Autumn was very sound but it has been running over 2000m (or shorter) in the lead up to this race

    They obviously knew what they were doing and on a 7 day back-up as well

    Da Deputy was beaten a long way from home but that's racing

    Japan Cup on in 30 minutes and it looks a race between Almond Eye & Contrail but I'm on Glory Vase (each-way)

    Glory Vase loomed large with a furlong to go but got run over (after kicking again)

    Well deserved win to Almond Eye though (what a mighty mare)  Will be retired now after a stellar career

    Contrail ran on well to help secure the 'obvious' quinella for punters (which I didn't have of course!)

    Jericho Cup & Japan Cup both run today

    Some good racing coming up on the weekend with the Kingston Town Classic being the standout race.  Small field in the Pakenham Cup but it's a very good betting race.  Click on any of the listed races below for the fields, form & odds

    If you are looking for a horse to flesh out a multi

    Doomben, Race 9, #7 Isotope $2.05

    Thanks for that Gorg

     I quite like 'Watch Me Dance' (No.16) in the Kingston Town Classic (Ascot Race 8)

    3 of the big bookies have picked it outright noting that it's carrying only 50kgs and has drawn well

    At 11-1 it represents good value

    Inspirational Girl is the one to beat but it has drawn gate 18 ... I've got it going in a couple of multi's as the saver bet (including your pick 'Isotope')

    When in doubt defer to the experts (so they say)

    James Jordan (JJ) has snagged 6 winners from 8 races at Morphettville today

     

    Edit:  Make that 7 from 9

    Didn’t see any at Morphettville today but that’s impressive.

    Ended the day $10 down as Beat the Bro got pipped in a photo in the last at Ascot.   So I was either going to end $10 down or $100 up. 
    considering I was across races from Packo, Rosehill and Ascot I can’t complain. Will roll my bonus bets into the NFL and hope for a winner.

    My betting strategy nearly always includes the races from S.A and in particular, James Jordan's tips.  And when he and Gator both tip well I do well

    The challenge is matching up 2 of the tips in a small multi as the tips can often be the short priced favourites.  Worked out well today as Gator had a reasonable day as well (although I went looking for value (against a few) to my detriment!)

    Would have cleaned right up if Inspirational Girl had have got up.  Truly Great a deserved winner though.  Too good

    Good luck with the NFL ... I'll be doing a 4 or 5 pick H/F multi.  All home teams as I don't trust my judgement on road teams! ?

    Sha Tin tomorrow though playing with house money

    Yeah I got up early with Written Miss, been on her both races. She is class and will move up to better races soon enough. So I went after some longer shots, missed also on a multi with Inspirational girl.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
