Dosh is running in the 4th, was on that when it was paying $20. I’ll have to look at it tomorrow.

Good win by Dosh - looks to have a real future.  Well done!

I got on Frost Flowers (at better odds) on Sunday but your pick was too far good.  The Jockey (Childs) reckons that there is more in the tank too

General Beau ran half a second quicker (3 lengths) in the C & G preview but times aren't everything

Blazejowski way too good anyway.  It was due but I thought the weight might stop it

Got a double (More Prophets & All Banter) to make up for it.  Win some,  lose some but I'm in front for the day with a few more in Sydney to top up the balance (hopefully!)

Was on Miss Albania in a couple of multis ... just missed on a decent pay day as the others got up (see above post)

But Regardsmaree wins in great style to end a decent day at Caulfield.  Warwick Farm next!

I was on Blaze a few races ago and it was poor. But I’d liked it in the past. Was def a strong run by it.

I ended slightly down but that’s ok, went for some long shots that didn’t pan out this time.

Tomorrow at Geelong Stylish Enuff runs. 
second run, it’s first was a 2 length win at the Same distance.

Be interesting to see how it goes, it won that last race with ease.

Some stories to come out of today's racing - go here

I reckon General Beau (winner of the Blue Diamond C & G Preview) could be the main focus ... the connections would have to pay a late entry of $50k for the Blue Diamond Stakes (although they picked up a cool $96k for today's win) 

But 'Dosh' in the fillies preview was very impressive as well and had a bit in reserve according to Jordan Childs.  Frost Flowers was the raging favourite and couldn't match Dosh but might be better for the run at the Heath

All Banter the 3yo did it well also against the older horses ... now being set for the Oakleigh Plate where it will get in as lightweight chance.  Kept finding under Williams which is always a good sign

Stylish enuff is running its second race tomorrow at flem race 2. Paying $8 at the min. I was on its first run and it won by 2 lengths and looked good.

Back at Caulfield & Rosehill this Saturday with a number of the Autumn carnival horses returning (as well as Behemeth & Kemelpasa in the Durbridge Stakes @ Morphettville - R6)

The 2yo's feature again in both the main venues but the eyes will also be on The Expressway St. (R7 Randwick) & The Manfred St. (R5 Caulfield) The good news for punters is that there is no standout favourite in either race.  Small fields in both races but there's some value there if you can find the winner (or winners!)

Best Bet (Saturday)

Randwick R7 No.6 Flit 8.50/2.30

Included in a place multi could be the go with Flit but the 4yo Mare races well fresh and likes the soft conditions

Yes with Ole Kirk & Standout scratched the deductions kick in.  Flit is still good value in my view ... 6.50 available at Laddies

You got anything? 

I figured we may as well kick things off re the best bets with the good horses starting to return

Edited January 30, 20214 yr by Macca

Race 3, rich Dane has come in from 26 to 8.50 due to the wet and some scratching.

Behemoth runs in the 6th at Morphetville but is paying $1.50 on its return. That’s crazy odds, I mean I’m usually on it but that’s too short even for me

Cracking run by Hangman then, I was on it at $14 so a nice collect that could have been better 1 meter shorter and worse 1 step later.

Open minded in the 7th at sale today I’ve been on previously. 
 

And I see Sha Tin has bonus bet for 2nd and 3rd for the first 4 races.

Following Purton & Moreira (primarily) at Sha Tin today ... hoping for a few collects!  They are both on a number of the best horses anyway

Laddies are offering double winnings for races 5 & 6 as well as the Sportsbet offer you mentioned for races 1 thru 4

I use all that plus apply booster odds whenever applicable

I rarely bet over there. I’ll keep an eye on those two names in the early races and see how I go.

The form at Sha Tin is miles better to understand and decipher than any Sunday meetings in Oz (in a general sense)

Plus, the really good jockeys & trainers are operating in HK as well.  Jockeys like Karis Teetan,  Jerry Chau & Vincent Ho get lots of winners whilst Size & Fownes as well as a few other trainers are prominent as well

But Moreira & Purton dominate and a number of their mounts offer up value as well

I generally bet in Sydney & Melbourne on a Saturday and usually HK on a Sunday

The rest of it is a total mystery in my view so I steer clear (unless I get a tip)

James Jordan at Morphettville is a top tipster so a few races there on a Saturday as well (the value runners)

Open minded salutes with ease.

Overs @ 4 40 in a small field?

It's been running excellent times for its class including 1:09.66 in its last start win at Caulfield.  That's good going for a BM70 ... might be worth following up on.  1:08.99 today carrying 58.5kg

Queen Annabel looked the only real threat pre race and that was 16-1

Zac just got me a winner in R3 at HK but just missed in R4 (bonus bet back though)

 

Yeah I  was on Lucky fun and also Jimenez at Sale

For Open Minded it was under 4 early, I waited and it drifted to 4.20 when I grabbed it. Reckon it will come up in class. 

Here's a few websites pertaining to the racing up in Hong Kong (I'll try and post up these links late on Saturday's)

The Longines Thoroughbred Awards are out for the 2020 year

Listed below are the top 10 horses (n.b. 'Golden Sixty' was born in Australia so we get to claim him!)  Addeybb we'd be familiar with after winning 2 Middle Distance G1's in Sydney last Autumn.  Both Arcadia Queen & Verry Elleegant were rated in the 40's but it was great to see Bivouac,  Classique Legend & Nature Strip make the top 10

Ghaiyyath & Authentic finished 1 & 2 and you can click on the highlighted events to watch the replays of their G1 triumphs ... both horses were quite dominant fully recognised for their greatness

                   Ghaiyyath 

• G1 Coronation Cup 
• G1 Coral-Eclipse Stakes 
• G1 Juddmonte International

                   Authentic

• G1 Kentucky Derby
• G1 Haskell Invitational
• G1 Breeders Classic 

 

Frankie Dettori took out the Jockeys award (scroll down further) ... no Moreira in the top 10?  J-Mac & Zac Purton got into the top 10 and rightly so
