Huge crowds at the Cheltenham festival ... excellent racing as well and a top coverage by ITV (UK)

On Sky Racing Central if you've got access ... or through the TAB site or Sky Racing site

Best Bet Saturday

R9 No.5 Paperboy (W/P) 9.50/3.00

All 3 winning pays about 200-1

Pounding winning with the other 2 running a place is showing a dividend of about 25-1 - good value

I like Coolangatta in the Slipper but there are any number of chances including the 3 placegetters in the Diamond (Daumier, Revolutionary Miss & Jacquinet)

I'm Thunderstruck (each-way) in the All-Star Mile but it will have to get past Zaaki.  Been set for the race a long way out

Happy punting folks!

Lombardo I think is a very very good show, but 1000 is my only concern, 1200 and it’s a Monty. Sword of mercy/Lombardo quinella is a worthy exploration

Yeah, the 1000m at Flemington is all about the timing of the run (because the run will almost certainly appear) ... reckon Lombardo wins. Mick Price places his horses well

Just doing straight out win bets tomorrow although a trifecta in the Slipper & All Star Mile ... big pools and the dividends can pay a lot with the right combo

If Coolangatta wins the Slipper, the filly could end up with a stellar career as a result

Was still a shock to see Verry Elleegant not pick up and run down Montefilia ... not that I had anything riding on it apart from a small outlay trifecta

And Anamoe far too accomplished in the Guineas ... ridden forward in a small field and ridden like the best horse in the race

I'm Thunderstruck beaten by the barrier draw ... all credit to the winner though.  Scooted away and too good was Zaaki.  All class

Streets runs 3rd!  What a grand campaigner ... $720k for the connections! Bonus dollars!

Only reason I could see thunder that long odds was the barrier.

Fireburn gets the rails run and streets them in the Slipper ... only went around 1 horse in a race where that is a real advantage. 

Too good but ridden an absolute treat.  Kudos to the horse & rider

Crikey….jet engine finish on Cherry. Place multi still alive with our picks. One to go

I should have taken your lead from last week and taken all 3 in a place multi.  The value was there with our 3 this week

Well done, DZ!

Yeah got around $8.50 for all three to place and threw it on last minute. Fair value I thought today Macca and all of our picks weren’t far away from winning either.

Yep, that dividend is a good one, all things considered. If 1 or 2 of the picks are of good each-way value, the place multi comes into play

I must say, I've had better days at the races but there's always Sha Tin tomorrow!

They just interviewed the trainer of Shelby Sixtysix (Danny Williams) on 'After the Last' on the racing channel ... what a fantastic story!

The show is repeated at 9pm tonight unless you've caught hold of it already

The horse is now going to run in the TJ Smith! 

By the way, I recouped very well at Sha Tin yesterday (thanks to Moreira & Purton) ... I pulled the right reigns!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
