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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
