Midweek Special (Wednesday)

Sandown R6 No.7 Bella Tiara 5.50/1.80

Ran a good race, but I think hung back just a little too long, wanted it to move up about 100m before it did.

 

Guy at works son owns canasta, it’s running again at Randwick race 5, n8

It’s gone up a class and down 3kg. I was surprised to see it fav but I rate it. Last run it was never going to lose.

Will post my best bet tomorrow when I get a chance to properly look over the races

I agree ... they might have thought that the 490 metre straight at Sandown was long enough for the horse to catch the on pace runners but it wasn't a truly run race (sit & sprint)

I'm loathe to blame the jockey in that situation because Dean Yendall might have been riding to instructions

The connections & trainer would have learned a lesson though.  Not exactly a good thing beaten but it could have won the race

 

p.s. Dean Yendall just rode Fighting Harada to a win at Pakenham after the horse had been off the scene for over 2 years!!  That horse might be worth following as it showed promise as a 2yo & 3yo (now 5yo)

Had that down race down as one for the exotics Gorg as there's some value there with the right combo saluting

I'm with Jamie Kah for a lot of the races on Saturday ... and she's riding Starcaster at the Valley tomorrow night (R4 No.7)

But that race (the listed Torney Night Cup) has attracted a small but very competitive field.  Exotics?

Yeah maybe exotics, I’ve not looked too hard yet.

Canasta last week dropped out price due to a soft track and I gather they thought it wouldn’t run as well, but it ran like it was on a dry track. 
the up in class is the only query. 
I will have some on the nose and prob put it in a multi as a ew

Elite street at 15, $18 powered is great odds. Smashed Trekking last run. Race 8 #3

We got that one up in the Railway St. at good odds ... another ADATR Blackbooker

Value bet. $6 Race 3 #2 Randwick Lamington drive

Was already on it Gorg

I reckon our 2 picks will both go close so the place multi is on the cards (maybe with 1 or 2 others)

And Starcaster duly wins ridden a treat by Jamie Kah. 

That kicks off the weekend's racing on a good note!

I just quoted myself in typical self-indulgent fashion!

But winners are grinners Gorg especially with the double winnings at Laddies

Good get. 
looked like it ran well


Was looking at entrapment but decided against getting as I’m a few beers in... and it salutes with miss Kah riding a winner again.

I was on Rock the Ring and backed Entrapped at its last start (ugh) ... had good Tassie form

But that win goes down to the jockey again.  Jamie Kah is a gun and she does it so effortlessly.  Maybe like Bowman?

Got a 4 leg multi tomorrow with just four of her rides. Let’s hope she rides winners  tomorrow.

G’day fellas. Lockdown viewing is back.

I’m liking Hamlet Von Snitzel (6) Race 4 Doomben today at $5.50.

Won its two trials impressively without blinkers on, on debut a few weeks ago they chose to run it with blinkers and ran a solid third by 0.8 lengths. Blinkers are off today and hopefully it has learnt a thing or two since debut.

Was Quantum Mechanic one of 'em Gorg?

I was on straight out with the Laddies 'double dividend'  Early winners are just Gold especially with the bonus!

I wonder what Damien & Craig make of Jamie Kah's success?  Tony McEvoy was none too happy when Jamie left S.A. for greener pastures

Exceptionally good decision made by the elite hoop as far as I'm concerned

Yeah it was. Had a trifecta on the race which was 1,2,4th so that sucked. ?

Frost flowers looked good but halfway through threw the head around quite a bit.

Yep ... gave Frost Flowers another go but she wasn't up to it unfortunately.  Had every chance though

Ingratiating ran well again and is worth following.  Enthaar is still the one?  Anamoe the smoky?  You'd imagine it's those 3 for the Diamond but there might be 1 or 2 others

Ollie has Ingratiating & Anamoe as line ball now (after race interview) Blinkers & carrying 59kgs today is changing his mind

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
