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.

So it’s in the Caulfield cup?

    Yeah Gorg, No19. Was first emergency, now gives Waller 4 runners and all pretty much cricket score odds.

    Extreme flight by half a head, good run, had to come wider than it wanted but held on over a fast finishing Prince Alexander.

    They were the last two for majority of the race and ended up spacing the rest. Well done Macca.

    Tin magic from the start was all over the course, ran like I walked to bed at 2am after the GF win.

    Yeah it did, just a few more seconds and it wins. Both those horses just haven’t nailed consistency.

    Did it ever!  Just catching up on the replays now but it was a good thing beaten after missing the start by a length or 2 (again) ... always has to make up that lost ground against a field like that

    Incentivise is a freak ... 3 wide without cover the whole way and did it on the bit

    An incredible run ... hope they run it in the Cox Plate and go for the treble.  I'm not sure they will though as it's had a lengthy campaign since March

    As it stands, the future for the horse looks amazing as it's still only a 5yo (gelding)

    I reckon they might be tempted by the treble. I mean why not, it’s hammering along.

    I've made the switch to Sportsbet Gorg ... money back 2nd to 5th is an offer too good to refuse!!  Still a little bit with Laddies on occasions

    Got a few winners but bonus bets were arriving left, right & centre!  I hardly missed!!

    Yeah, I like Sportsbet. I too had a few that I now have on NFL games etc, one bonus became a F4 win in the 6th which was nice.

    Elite street in the 7th salutes. Glad I remembered that black booker.

    That's a good get!

    I recall we got on at very good odds in the Winterbottom late last year

    I'm using some bonus bets on a few multi's at Royal Ascot tonight (4 x G1's & a G2) ... on Sky1 for those that are keen

    That was amazing by Incentivise Macca. It will be interesting to see if they run it in the Cox, you would think the Valley would suit especially if it gets an easy lead and dictates. I did hear just prior to the race yesterday on the TV from the connections that they’ve trained it specifically for a back-up into the Cox if need be. Earlier markets had it as much as $16 from memory and now into $6 for next week.

    There were some good runs in the Cup by a few horses but always enjoy seeing top class salute in a big race. Kind of reminded me about our boys heading into finals, a few questions were asked then bang, bang, bang.

    Incentivise now highly unlikely to run in the Cox Plate ... Peter Moody mentioned that the horse was a bit weary this morning

    2 and a half weeks to the Melbourne is a good enough rest though.  Might get a 1.5kg - 2kg penalty ... that would take him to 57kg - 57.5kg (Twilight Payment 58kg & Verry Elleegant 57kg)

    Geelong cup running tomorrow. You guys looking at it at all?

    Was just looking at it Gorg. Noticed a bit of money has come for last years Derby winner in Johnny Get Angry. $51 to $41…not racing well but this isn’t as hard as his last few. Sneaky chance for a place.
    I fancy the 14 Hasta La War at each way odds.

    Also, mate’s horse is going around at Naracoorte tomorrow in R6 El Magnificence. Horse has a bit of history here, doesn’t win out of turn but has managed two in a row and his latest win over 1200 was his first win over that distance in 17 attempts. Much travelled horse and onto his 5th trainer. Early career looked promising, even got within 7 lengths of Nature Strip in one Flem race a few years back. Looking back 7 lengths is not too bad lol.

    Johnny gets angry could easily step up. Hasta looks good, I keep looking at Knights order and it’s another that should b3 better but hasn’t been. Defib should also be around the mark.
     

    Will keep an eye out for your mates horse.

    Hasta La War for me in the Geelong Cup  ... overs at $8 although deductions might apply if Tralee Rose doesn't run

    So El Mag and Hasta is paying 23-1 in a double.  That might do me!

    That sounds good for the double.

    And an intriguing field contesting the Cox Macca.

    It sure is ... I'll post up the JHR fields and odds later on or tomorrow.  Manikato Stakes and the 2 big races at Randwick are good betting races too (The Invitation & Bondi Stakes) 

    But I reckon one of Zaaki, Anamoe or Verry Elleegant wins the Cox Plate.  Anamoe has to get another 400m and Verry Elleegant & Zaaki are coming off forgive runs

    Edit: Brett Prebble gives Probabeel a big chance ... very confident about its chance

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
