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

Yeah I didn’t have a great one, wiped my face but lost a small amount on the AFL. Would have done quite well if Steele kicked the ball a second before the siren, not one second after ??

    Woke up this morning and saw that Sportsbet had paid out on my multi. They have awarded 25disposals to Jack Steele! Great start to the day!

    Terrific days racing coming up ... they've got a good track up in Sydney with lots of Group racing whilst the fields at Caulfield are quite strong

    Don't mind 'Personal' in the Vinery and 'Angel of Truth' in the Tancred

    Good luck punters

    Hang Man wins again and beats a good field ... didn't have it included but it ran past a decent horse in Persan

    The connections would now have to be eyeing off a few of the bigger races in the spring.  There might even be a race up in Sydney over the next few weeks that suits

    And Hungry Heart won the Vinery in fine style.  Good horse to follow going forward

    Sir Dragonet wins the Tancred!  Very impressive ... looked a class above over the 2400

    I was torn between hangman and le don and went le don. Also did that on an earlier race that got up with diamond second. 
     

    Rodeo saluted on the last for me, cracking race to watch

    I know it was only a BM64 or there about but with that turn of speed it will rise the ranks and do well, how high it goes, that’s the question. One to def watch for me.

    Mask of Zorro ran another good race yesterday too.

    Started the day of on fire, then went cold real quick. Both our choices didn’t salute but that’s racing. Hope you had a good day.

    Similar story Gorg

    Got Missile Mantra & Duais up early then went cold.  Got a couple of collects out of Ascot late but overall down a fraction

    Will watch the replays soon enough but Anamoe must have been impressive in the Sires Produce

    Nature Strip did his thing,  Explosive Jack might be a cups horse & Jamie Kah got the best out of Cascadian in the Doncaster by the sounds of it

    Anamoe killed it. Cascadian looked very good too. 
     

    I was on the same two as you, also got Kiku and paulele early on. 
     

    I flirted between Nature strip and Biovac and went the latter... seems every time I’m on NS it loses and when I go against it it bloody wins. ?

    Had a photo with Grand promenade which ran quite well. Just couldn’t get there.

    I'm floating between exactas & win bets at the moment ... I do like the idea of having 2 or 3 runners as options for winning but just got to pick the right races

    Anyway,  the Pies, Eagles & Tigers all losing softens the blow ... with punting it's always about the overall!!

    Because of the above,  if we win today,  we create a buffer that we can maintain (at least in the first half of the season)  Must win!

    1-39 Demons is my pick,  Freo the same?

    $1.80 fav this sat.

    It’s listed for the Stradbroke handicap in Jun at $51 against a much better field. But I’m sorely tempted to take the gamble it runs and put $10 on it.

    That’s a good race. 
     

    Sydney is already a soft 5 with rain expected Friday and Saturday. 
    hope it doesn’t end up a heavy track. Hate betting on Heavy tracks.

    Hungry Heart is a true stayer with a terrific finishing burst ... over the odds in my view

    The others either may not get the distance or are unproven in Australia

    Scroll up to the replay of the Vinery Stud Stakes and let me know what you think Gorg

    I will be most surprised if it doesn't get into the finish although the horse does like good conditions and there is a bit of rain forecast

    I've taken the early odds with some bonus bets

    Agree, I watched that race live. Even copped the hit that pushed it wider at the 400.

    I too took the odds lst night at 5.50

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
