In regards to the Black Caviar, Home Affairs won brilliantly at its only start at Flem during the spring. Never raced under 1100m before, don’t think that will be an issue.

I’m finding it a tricky race to be honest. $2.60 for Nature Strip screams throw me in a multi. Eduardo seems to be getting better with age and as mentioned Masked Crusader could enjoy the open space. Good luck fellas.

Well if we win,  we'll be winning early ... and it's always nice to win early!!

The treble with our picks is paying 50-1 whilst the early double (Mr Mosaic & Yonce) is delivering a 12-1 dividend

Good luck punters!

Nice win DZ and very impressive by the sounds of it ... a blackbooker!

Black type races ahead ... Matriarch Stakes on Super Saturday could be next up

Missed the Mr Mosiac race, so no idea what happened there. 
 

Yonce was good, (outside our multi’s)  but I was on Goovy kinda Love and it gave it a good go, it got held up twice and had to drop out wider twice, it’s last 200 was impressive, one to watch.

I've had a good day so far (about time!) ... 2 winners & 4 x same race multis and I've got Yonce going into a couple

Once Mr Mosaic was out I went with Yonce with 2 others in 2 later races.  Yonce was probably overs at 2.50.  Looks a decent type

I’ve had a few winners today and a few bonus bets. So no complaints here.

Still hoping for more, did just miss a first 4 earlier which would have been nice

Mightybeel with a very good display

Hone affairs fights of Naturestrip and takes the choccies. Reckon it rallied three times to stay in front. Cracking race!

Certainly was a great race ... and if Nature Strip doesn't botch the start it probably wins

But that's racing and JMac is the gun and he jumped on the right horse.  7-1 was excellent value, all things considered

Yeah it was poor off the start, a fav of mine in the astrologist also ran a good race considering the class it was against.

Home Affairs impressed me tho.


13 Group races coming up on Saturday including 5 x G1's & 6 x G2's.  Super Saturday in February!

Caulfield probably gets the most attention with the Blue Diamond, Futurity Stks & Oakleigh Plate but the 2 G1's up in Sydney (Chipping Norton & Surround Stks) will both attract a lot of good horses

And apparently Super Saturday at Flemington will be split up down the track so as to ensure that the All Star Mile is run before the Australian Cup on a regular basis (as a big lead in)

As it stands, this year the All Star Mile is to be run on the same day as the Golden Slipper Day up in Sydney (March 19th) where 5 x G1's are held on the same day ... not sure what Peter V'landys would make of all that! 

Especially with the 1500m G1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) up against the All Star Mile

Lofty Strike draws barrier 13 😩

Wide open this year, that's for sure.  And the barrier draw doesn't make things any clearer from a punting point of view

English Riviera has drawn well for a fast beginner though.  Tony McEvoy would be happy!

It's only one turn at Caulfield so the backmarkers aren't out of it ... but they'll need to negotiate traffic.  Revolutionary Miss has a chance

And I wouldn't be ruling a line through Lofty Strike especially if Jamie Mott can get the horse into a decent position, mid race

Oh I’m not, I’ll still back it. Just makes it a little harder 

Big day for Tassie racing today at Launceston*

So I backed the first 2 winners but something was telling me to put them into a running double ... which is what I didn't do!!!  Ugh!!

Can't complain too much though as I got double winnings on both

 

*3 Stakes races which includes the Launceston Cup (Race 8)

Reckon Lofty Strikes wins Gorg ... needs cover and a good position (midfield?) but will fly home

The danger might be the horse that should lead (English Riviera)

You'd have to wonder whether they can get through the meetings up North on Saturday ... days of heavy torrential rain forecast and Randwick is already a Heavy8 (Doomben is a Heavy10 right now)

But here are the 5 Group1 races for Saturday

If it gets across and into a middle with some cover it should come home strong. The worry is if they spread wide and it can’t slide across and into a good position. Be interesting to see what the early pace is like.

 

Sudney could be a very wet track. They will do everything to get it up but I expect a fair few scratchings 

Lofty Strike with a lame right front fetlock

... examination by the Vets tomorrow

That would be a shame, I really want to see it up against this field

 

Best Bet Saturday 

Caulfield Race 3 No.14 El Patroness $4 Win

Just read Lofty Strike has been ruled out of the Blue Diamond. There’s been a few horses that have gone vet inspections the last 24-48 hours, Sebonack, Kiki Express (both passed fit) and Rampant Lion will be re-inspected later today.

Good luck fellas.

  • 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.

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • 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.
