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!

I saw him interviewed straight after the race. They asked then what they would do with the horse.

TJ Smith eh. Well that’s one race I don’t have to think about who I’m betting on 🤣

Mornington Race 7 no 1 the Astrologist $4W

The Astologist is also entered in the $1Million William Reid St on Friday night ... and has drawn nicely in the No.1 barrier (and is an on-pacer on a tight-turning track - ideal)

Although, Marabi is a big big chance to win the Reid St so everything else is possibly running for 2nd!

At this stage The Astrologist is still in tonight's field (William Reid St.) so I'd say it's out of tomorrow's Hareeba St.

But no rush on another pick Gorg as it hasn't been scratched yet

Happy to wait until tomorrow for the final pick

So I had two black bookers in that race, Astrologist and September run… guess which one I backed… 😩

Hindsight tells us that The Astrologist should have been held over to tomorrow!

Marabi end of prep?  Certainly got run over by nearly every runner

September Run back to her best though - ran really well in the Newmarket ... that was the pointer.

I had SR included in a trifecta but didn't really get close.  Big dividends in the exotics ... even the quinella paid 450!

Yeah I had Ast, SRand Marabi in the Tri. Marabi got blitzed. Astrologist seemed t9 have no idea what to do or where to go as it hit the corner. SR hit it perfectly. 

The. F4 paid over 128k

Morphetville Race 5 No.1 Max Fire

@Macca. @Dee Zephyr

change mine from Astrologist to La Mexicana, same race. W. 6.50 (R7 No.6)

Handy dividend with all 3 winning - 190-1!

Don't rule out the place multi either ... about 9-1

But all 3 can win if they all bring their best.  Fingers crossed!

Good luck punters!

Rosehill abandoned

I wonder when they will race these Group races?  Maybe at another track in the next few days?

Damian Lane rides the winner of the UAE Derby (Crown Pride) ... another top Japanese stayer

Previously Damian Lane has ridden some big winners in Japan so he's been sought out again

The horse might be now running in the Kentucky Derby so Damian could be engaged to ride the horse in that time-honoured classic

That would be great to see.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
