    All 3 winning will return a healthy dividend of $150 (without a boost)

    But I'll be playing around with a couple/few at the place (in multi's)

    Good luck punters!

    Silent pipped by a half head at the post. Our playboy came from nowhere.

    Bumping with the 3rd placegetter didn't help

    Just audio here but I thought it was home!

    Traditionally we take a break from giving out best bets after Stakes day. 

    I'll still be here from time to time having a few bets ... more so making the odd reference to the feature events that pop up

    For instance the Ballarat Cup & Cranbourne Cup next weekend and the Ascot G1's from Perth etc over summer

    As for the Spring, I started really well and finished really well ... inbetween not so good.  But I'm in front and that's what matters!

    Gorg, DZ and others ... thanks for the contributions!

    So a few days after Jamie Kah wins her day in the Supreme Court, Racing Victoria decides to make Jamie ineligible to win the Jockey Premiership

    Never mind that Jamie has served a 3 month disqualification and never once complained  It's a poor move by RV in my opinion.  Petulent & spiteful with no need

    Jamie would get much better treatment in NSW ... the champion jockey could take her talents to the Northern beaches and who could blame her? 

    It's any wonder that NSW & Sydney racing is fast becoming the No.1 destination in Australia

    Yeah that was strange and tbh petty. It wasn’t like she cheated at the races or something similar.

    3 months off which included a huge loss of earnings amounting to hundreds of 1000's was punishment enough

    And I can't back a winner today Gorg ... no good!

    I had Canasta, Smokin Romans and Under my Spell in my black book, took a punt on all and that’s all I was going to do, of course under my spell salutes and away I went 😃

     

    Werribee cup today and Kah should be in the mix with Starcaster.

    How bloody close was the finish in the Werribee cup!

    I thought that Starcaster got pipped at the line watching live.

    Yes,  just a bob of the head in it

    Dark Dream was a good thing beaten as it was held up for a run twice ... might be worth following up on in the open handicaps (as well as the winner)

    Dakar rally is often worth a look at ... in Saudi Arabia this year.

    1 hour highlights program on every day on SBS at 5pm.  They are just on half way through the rally and there has been the usual high drama on a daily basis

    Sand dune after sand dune for hundreds of kilometres, I don't know how they can endure it all!

    The Autumn carnival is almost upon us ... at Caulfield this Wednesday we get to see the 2 Blue Diamond Preview's as well as a couple of listed races.  All the races carry Saturday-like prizemoney

    Also on Wednesday the Australia Day Cup will be held at Warwick Farm

    First Group 1 of the Autumn Carnival coming up on Saturday.  Looks a good race too

    WFA over the 1400m so the barriers could be all-important for the fancied runners

    • 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.
