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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
