Open minded salutes, I’m well deep into the beers and whisky, really wish I’d seen the $8 opening price.

    Open Minded drifted to 4.50 in the end and looked the winner a fair way from home

    I was on Madam Superior with Ollie on board and it looked good for a while

    OM too good though

    Got it at $4.20. I5s a good horse. Think it has more potential.

    Need a clear head tomorrow so just the 2 glasses of Pinot here! However,  good wine doesn't give you a headache so 2 more on the cards whilst watching '3 wide no cover' (on now) 

    Got the quinella in the Snoano race so 2 good collects and double winnings on 'The Regiment' ... decent night as it turned out

    I’m four craft beers and a few whiskeys deep so I’ll stay off the punt when in such a state. But open minded  I’ve been on for a while so watched its market. Will be sober enough by race one tomorrow ?

    I wouldn't be too concerned Gorg ... I always feel very lucky when a multi salutes (they are hard to get) I had Defiant in a quinella but didn't have the 2nd horse anyway

    We've still got 3 live chances and if picking winners was easy,  we'd be sqillionaires!

    Got 'Leo',  Four Moves Ahead & Fabergino up so another good start ... just need to finish off well (like the Demons yesterday!)

     

    Edit:  Criaderas gets up for 2nd but got going too late by the sounds of it

    Had Leo, missed on Mallory and just missed on Indian pacific. 
     

    Got Buffalo River in the next, couldn’t look past it.

    Tough Miss on Cric but strong run by the winner.

    Buff went hard really early. Just held on for third. 
    Thought they went too early and too hard.

    Looked that way and it's a long straight.  Jamie nearly always rates them well in the lead too

    Who knows?  ... the horse just took off and when that happens the jockey either restrains them (which can backfire) or goes with it

    At Caulfield & Moonee Valley it wins

    Didn't see that coming!  250-1 fixed odds

    Form was recently quite woeful although it did win the Sires Produce this time last year

    As it turns out the horse (Buffalo River) apparently does have a habit of taking off like that (according to a few of the pundits) Can't say I've seen it before but it is a frontrunner

    And it's not like Jamie Kah to ride like that anyway ... in fact, she rates them in front better than any other jockey I've seen (in recent times)

    You just don't expect that sort of thing to happen but it does happen from time to time

    e.g. Twilight Payment took off at the 4 furlong mark in the cup but still managed to hold on

    I'd be getting on Buffalo again but maybe not at Flemington! ?

    It was more how hard it seem to go, but as you said sometimes reining them in is just as counter productive

    Guy at work had the tip that this would do very well. He didn’t pass tge into along nor back it.

    Said they have been trying new tactics with it and it responded well.

    We are all unhappy with him today. ?

    The All Star Mile final field has been decided

    It's a crack field but would have liked to see Verry Elleegant,  Colette,  Kolding & Avilius included but with 2 Autumn carnivals running side by side,  we don't get to see the very best all racing against each other. 

    Still, there's at least 9 winning chances for the Moonee Valley version of the event (to be run on the 13th March)

    And if Streets of Avalon can get to the lead and put the brakes on,  it can get into the finish

    Promises to be a terrific race, all the same

    Super Saturday coming up at Flemington on the weekend and a super days racing coming up at Randwick as well.  Group & Listed races aplenty along with 4 big Group 1 events. 

    I'm mainly playing the exotics and even the quinella's could pay well with such depth to the racing.  Quite tricky coming up with a best bet or 2 as well.  So far, nothing is jumping out at me

    Value Bet (Randwick Saturday)

    Race 7 No.3 North Pacific 9.00/2.50

    More so the exotics and place multi,  I'm confident the horse can get into the finish and 3rd up has been primed for this race

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
