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!

Yeah def didn’t help either. And 20out I thought it would hold on too.

 

Well everything has gone to plop for me today, heaps of seconds and thirds but no winners coming onto the last. Hope you boys fared better.

I did ok ... got a 2/3 place parlay up at Rosehill

All got into the finish so 4 collects ... got an early winner at double winnings

Nature Strip & Zaaki won as expected

And Zoushack got up for you Gorg ... good pick!


Geee Blesk came hard at the end tho @Macca, I must admit the thought I had was bet I get bloody pipped at the post again 🤣

I got a trifecta early but wasn’t a huge collect, down on the day, still up from Derby day so still playing with their money so I won’t complain too much… not too much 😂

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!

Same, couldn’t pick any winners, [censored] day.

Jamie Kah is back in style!

Wins the Pakenham Cup on Smokin' Romans A superb ride.  All class

I was on Mimi's Award however I picked up a nice 2/3 win parlay earlier in the day

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

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
