    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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
