Will keep an eye out Gorg

Got a couple/few that you like in the Stradbroke? 

I've had a small wager using bonus bets on Apache Chase (carrying 49.5kgs) but Vega One & Wild Planet aren't carrying much weight either

Exotics could pay really well and I might box a Trifecta in the race

Just saw this. Sorry for the late reply.

So much class in the Stradbroke. Hard to go past Vega One. 
The Havrovian is another that looks a chance.

 

Converge won very well. Good choice.

    Loaded up with bonus bets on Converge so a happy lad here.  Got the early odds as well

    Just need Sweet Deal to salute to get the double ... fingers crossed

    And I included The Harrovian ... Niccanova a big show as well

    Sweet deal just had no go, was in a great spot but had no extra gear.

    I had Brooklyn Hustle as a saver ... the horse seems to have arrived as a proper horse after disappointing for a stretch

    My other choice was Odeum, I like that horse but either way, I would have chosen a loser ?

    Yeah it's a tough game at the best of times Gorg.  Still, you've got to be in it to win it

    Speaking of which,  for the horse racing enthusiasts out there,  Royal Ascot kicks off with 5 days of G1, G2 & Stakes racing starting on Tuesday night (all 5 days to be shown on the racing channel from about 10.30pm)

    www.racingpost.com has all the form, odds & tips.  Haven't perused yet but there is sure to be some sort of Aussie representation

    Had a lean week at Ascot until last night ... managed to land a 2/3 parlay with Point Lonsdale,  Wonderful Tonight & Dream of Dreams.  The treble (especially) paid very well

    Will post up all the Ascot G1 replays soon enough ... this thread acts in historical fashion if people want to scroll through (or back) for replays of most of the G1 races

    But sitting up until 2am - 3am has taken its toll!  Tired as!

    Yeah, I’ve been a fan of Odeum for a while, Brooklyn just got it last start. Add in Tofane and Savjust for starters… can’t wait!

    Yep those 4 would go into my F4 ... thinking of boxing 6 and taking a small percentage.  Apart from Brooklyn, the other 3 you mentioned have excellent Group racing form  

    Nudge & Charleise have both been running well lately but for value and previous G1 & G2 form,  Lyre & Dame Gizelle could be thereabouts.  There's always a roughie

    I have narrowed it down to 10!!

    Each-Way Saturday - Flemington

    R7 No.9 Lunar Flare $12/$3.20 

    Will end up doing a parlay 2/3 with Lunar at the place (3.20) as one of the 3 legs

    Yeah always a roughie there abouts. Nudge is def in the mix and Lyre could easily place.

    Yeah those 2 can be the add-ons Gorg

    So I'll be cheering on Lyre! 

    All the picks are renowned strong finishers so it could easily be a blanket finish

    Can't say I like any of the other races at Eagle Farm apart from the last (race 9)

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
