I had a few mins before the long drive in to the wedding so put a few bets on in advance and I’d agonised over Grand Slam and Young Werther, ended up being decided by one thing, well person really. Jockey. Ms Jamie Kah - she is a star!

    Didnt see the race, but I had 2-4th in my first 4. Probabeel was the one I missed. What happened to Probabeel?

    Damian Lane said that the horse didn't handle the track well (the race was held in driving rain)  They ran 01:39.82 which is more than 4 seconds above standard time for the mile at the Valley

    So the rain that had fallen had obviously effected the track but you would have expected the conditions to suit Sir Dragonet

    And so might Grandslam be a star as well ... commanding performance yesterday to win by that sort of margin (6.3 lengths) (before the rain had set in and affected the track)

    We might have another genuine WFA class middle distance runner on the scene with Grandslam

    Jamie Kah's first time on the horse so we'll see that combo again.  Probably now Sydney bound for the G1 riches and with our carnival all but over,  Kah, Oliver & co would be heading North as well you'd imagine

    There is some fantastic racing coming up in Sydney over the next 5 weekends 

    5 x G1's (including the Slipper) next Saturday and over the 5 weekends 17 x G1's and 22 other Group 2 & 3 races as well.  The best of the best involved in 39 events

    Great time of the year with the footy starting next weekend as well

    Australian Group Racing

    And here are the replays from yesterday (I'll post up Grandslam's win in the Alister Clark Stakes when it's available)

    ADATR blackbooker 'Hang Man' is running in the $125k Yarra Valley Cup (R6) tomorrow ... paying 4.50 for the win but it is up against the even money favourite in 'Skyman' 

    But any of the top 6 in the betting can win so the exotics might be the go

    Ended up having a small wager on Hang Man and it duly saluted ... got the jump on Skyman entering the straight and that was enough

    Me too. I was actually looking at it for a race yesterday before it was scratched.

    A handy cheque of $70k for the connections at a little known destination in the Yarra Valley (The Yarra Valley Cup) 

    There are group 2 & 3 races worldwide that carry that sort of prizemoney ($125k)

    Hang Man is a good honest performer just shy of Listed class but there are a stack of Handicaps & Country Cups that the horse can win

    A definite ADATR favourite

    Vaguely remember being at the Yarra Glen races when I was an urchin ... parents were keen racegoers as were most of their friends

    Must get back their soon enough ... I catch up with mates once or twice a month on Sunday arvo's these days (footy, golf, pub etc) so the country racing needs to be on the agenda as well ! ?

    I got on at the $8 but with all the rain about the horse (Jungle Edge) could easily start favourite ... it swims in the wet!

    The track up there could be a Heavy10 if the forecast rings true

    And Gator has marked my pick (Maritana) on top ... 3 starts at Mornington for 3 wins

    Yeah guy at work said they are forecasting heavy 10. Said there will be scratches all over the joint come sat morning.

    Once I looked at Maritana I thought you had picked a cracker and then to get $31 for it I had to throw down. 
     

    I put both in a EW multi so fingers crossed.

    Sisstar breaks the track record in the 955m challenge!

    They could have a whole card of these sprints and it might gain a lot of interest (similar to the Flemington card of 1200m sprint races)

    Wasn't on it but Masked Crusader wins the William Reid in fine style ... a cut above a crack field.  Burst through with high acceleration like a good horse

    That's a big breakthrough Group 1 win ... the TJ Smith has to be on the radar now

    I had the other three in a tri, which I thought was a decent shot but MC flew last Portland Sky.

    Rosehill postponed

    May put their Autumn back a week or integrate the races from today.  Pattern will be out of whack if they integrate though

    Yes!

    I had a very busy weekend (but not a fruitful one on the punt!) but will post up some replays soon enough

    Haven't seen any of the Sydney or Melbourne races yet but there were some obvious highlights amongst the 5 x Group 1's that were held

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
