Did anyone see what happened in the silver eagle, all I saw was horses scatter everywhere and suddenly Vangelic was no where to be seen when it was in a decent position.

All I saw was a few horses going sideways and as a result, Triple Ace sustained an injury

    Watched all the replays and here are a few takeaways ...

    Zaaki struggled when the pressure was applied and is no longer a sure thing for the Cox Plate (as in winning)

    Anamoe ultra impressive and may now run in the Cox Plate

    Savatoxl & Aim are both underrated,  Paulele very impressive,  Profondo is the real deal and Probabeel is a champ

    Lombardo looks a group horse in the making, I'm Thunderstruck is all class and Delphi might be able to take it up to Incentivise in the Caulfield Cup

    A great day's racing and Ch7's coverage of the racing out of Melb & Syd is first class.  Bruce is in his element!!

    Just had a look at the stewards report on RacingNSW.
    The leader ( Triple Ace) suffered an injury rounding the turn and Vangelic being directly behind it was severely checked. That caused interference to a couple of others as Vangelic shifted out. Jockey of Vangelic said that was pretty much it for the horse and didn’t ride it out.
    On the Racing NSW website they show a stewards view of the race which is slightly different to the one we saw on the TV. Can’t post a link to it for some reason, worth checking out.

    Good viewing today, fared much better than last week. Tad unlucky with the team multi, took all three to win and the one you suggested Macca, place/place/win. 
    Was on Ellsberg, thought I had it until Aim flew home but Ellsberg fought it right out. Darren Flindell had Aim on top too. Great pick at $31.

     On current prices our trio saluting is showing a dividend of $44 (with a boost)

    Good luck punters!

    Prebble let Zouz get into the worst spot on the field and stayed there until he had to try and got 7 wide and made up no ground. Terrible run.

    And just to add a bit of spice to the Caulfield Cup, Incentivise has drawn the carpark (barrier 20)

    As a noted on pace runner (or leader) that's a big ask at $2.60.  We are going to find out how good it is!

    Young Werther draws 8th. 
    Some rain due but prob not enough to make worse than a soft 5 you would think. But you are right. How far will it drift/come in due to the barrier?
     

    Everest race looks a good one.

    I like Classique Legend in the Everest but I'm wary of Masked Crusader especially if the swoopers are advantaged

    The Inferno at $26!  Nature Strip & Eduardo will take up the running you'd imagine.  Going to be some sort of race

    As for the Caulfield Cup, Delphi & Nonconformist can also be on pace runners but have drawn 19 & 16 respectively

    Could be game-on to the first turn! (400m straight)

    Nonconformist is prob the way I’m leaning, maybe a bonus on young werther.

    CL is prob the one but think Gyrtrash is a danger.

    Previously with our tips we would often land 2 of the 3 winners so I started taking a 2/3 parlay just to get a collect.  Small outlay only

    I usually end up breaking even that way (from an overall perspective) but if all 3 salute, it's a very good outcome. 

    I'm assuming we're all going to back our own selection but often I'll include my own pick in  an exacta instead of a win bet (again, to get a collect)

    But that's just the way I do it ... each to their own is the preferred option

    Going to need a new selection. It’s been scratched.
    Syd is a heavy 9 already. 

    Caulfield soft 5, reckon that becomes soft 6 or worse.

    Melb starts the day at a heavy 8 with more rain forecast for at least til 11.

    Sydney is not a soft 7, so not looking as bad but showing it will be windy. Interesting to see how that affect the track.

    I only just realised my initial BB was scratched from Randwick to run in the Cup today. Gonna have to throw a couple of bucks on it just in case now.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
