Eduardo beats nature strip! 
I ended up on him once it went to a soft 7. Thought Rothfore would find it a bit too hard on a S7 ( dumped a bonus bet on it tho) 

Masked Crusader jumped slow and never got going

    BOOM!!!

    Double Salute!!!

     

    Well done Macca.

    Well done you, Gorg!!

    You little beauty!!

    The ADATR crew lands a double (finally!)

    At 25-1, that is a decent collect for a coffee or 4 as an outlay

    Happy days!!

    And Nonconformist now gets into the Caulfield Cup ... these entry races add so much more interest (as in the 'Shorts' raced earlier becomes a great trial for the Everest)

    Prizemoney is very good all the way down to 8th in the Caulfield Cup so the connections would be thrilled. 

    These days, only the real class horses generally win the Caulfield Cup but the race has opened up for the locals with not nearly as many overseas entrants.  Certainly, Nonconformist is in with a show!

    Eduardo continues to impress and is a specialist at the 1100 (or 1000m)

    Now an 8yo but it isn't slowing down!  Hunted down Nature Strip like only a good horse can

    Sierra Sue wins!! The unlucky Feehan Stakes run was the pointer

    Not sure what happened to Probabeel & Behemoth.  Beau had every chance

    3 lightweights filled the placings

    I had Sierra in my f4, but Behemoth and Beau got no where near it. I didn’t have probabeel.

    Got pipped in the last, tossed up between Bella and La Mex, went La mex and then both in the quinella and La Mex got pipped.

    Hard luck

    Had my best day In quite a while ... mind you, I was due!  Gators 2/3 parlay helped and I was on Sierra Sue and got the exacta up in the same race

    Yeah don’t get me wrong I ended up way ahead. I knew Sierra Sue was going to be there abouts especially with the weight. But Beau Rossa is my horse so had to back it.

    Got close with Just Folk. That would have made today amazing. But I’m very happy a d glad you had a nice collect too.

    Lets see if we can back it up next sat.

    Yep, time to get on a roll Gorg

    I do like the 2/3 parlay bet ... it's a lot of fun when all 3 salute!  4 decent collects speaks for itself

    Gator is on RSN tomorrow around 11.00 - 11.30 and there are sure to be people messaging in about his 2/3 parlay saluting

    The 3 winners were Annavisto,  Nonconformist & Bella Nipotina.  All highly fancied to boot

    3 big Group 1's (kicking off Friday night) with the highly competitive Moir Stakes

    Anamoe & Zaaki look morals in the Golden Rose & Underwood Stakes but upsets can happen ... and $2.50 for the double doesn't appeal (unless used as a banker in a multi)

    Yeah the two favs don’t interest me unless I have two others and add one to try and bump the odds up slightly. Zaaki wins. Can’t see it not.

    I like Artorius at $9.

    Ive backed Portland Sky a lot along the journey and will look it’s way again I think.

    Close to 20-1 for the double

    Good racing tonight ... the Valley races are always interesting to watch

    Tend to follow on pace runners as that's often where there is a bit of bias

    Yeah I can be very hit and miss there. I tend to also trust certain jockeys more at MV than others.

    Jamie Kah is good with on pace runners where as Ollie & Craig are often successful with swoopers

    But I go against swoopers at the Valley ... if they beat me, so be it.  On pacers often get into the finish and the track is not often a swoopers track with that short straight

    Homesman will lead (or be on the pace) tonight for instance, and if the jockey can dictate terms, he'll be hard to beat.  I'm confident about its chances

    You got another one to go with Homesman? Doesn't have to be at the Valley

    Lombardo in the second is a leader that should get the job done. Paying $2.60

    Lombardo should win

    Ok, that's the other double that could easily salute (with Homesman R6)

    First race is at 5.15 and just as well ... I desperately need a distraction to take my mind off the footy! haha

    Rabbitohs/Manly later on and then a busy day at work tomorrow should fill the rest of the time.  And sleep (hopefully!)

    Friday nights is beers and vinyl with the wife. Fire will be roaring and I’ll watch the races on the ipad and slip the head phones on to listen.

    Tomorrow big bushwalk then chores then onto the races. Possibly lying on the ground rocking back and forth once races are done 😂

    Moonee Valley track manager Martin Synan reckons the course might favour the on pace runners  ... but because of the wind as they hit the straight, the backmarkers can feature if they can get cover

    Rail is out 4 metres

    • 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.
