Lombardo for me. Very good field and quite a few can win but if Lombardo is running Iā€™m on it.

Ā 

Yeah they run from the shoot at Sale so only one turn over the 1100m/1200m (like Caulfield & Pakenham)

And Lombardo has drawn well where as a few others have to work across to get onto the speed (notably In the Boat & Savatoxl)

Lombardo is included!

I'm going to include 'In the Boat' but 'Vainstream' is good value - ran a slick time winning 2 starts back ... at Sale!

    Host of chances in that raceā€¦Iā€™m struggling to pick the winner.
    @GorgorothĀ Iā€™ll choose Halvorsen for a top 4 spot if we throw one each in.

    So we choosing one each for a tri/F4/sgm?

    Or we could pluck the eyes out of all the choices

    I'm probably going to box 5 in an exacta and hope that my value/roughie choices can run in the first 2!!

    Well if you and Steve stow out a selection Iā€™ll combine them for a bit of fun, Iā€™m only betting on that race today

    Not sure if I will have a bet today but if I was it would be

    Race 6 number 1 SavatoxlĀ 

    You cannot fault that first up form and the $15 looks like a good offer.Ā

    I got the exacta in the first so I'm up and running, Gorg

    Was only going to have a bet in the $500k event but the fields aren't too shabby and I'm having a day on the couch so why not!

    Savatoxl has been included by Steve so there's some value in the exotics if successful (including the exacta)

    Did a same game multi with Lombardo, sav, in the boat and Halv. $76 boosted was decent.

    Yeah I've gone with a wide exacta in the race ... bit like an each-way bet but that strategy has worked before when the value has got into the top 2

    In the boat was in a speed boat! Smashed them. Lombardo didnā€™t look good from the jump.Ā 

    Got a big future but more so the way the way it won against that field (3 lengths to 2nd with a big gap to the rest) Ideal horse for the big sprints at the Valley & Caulfield

    A definite Blackbooker

    BH flew home again as it does but no match for the winner

    Good luck and have a Safe and Happy Easter everyone.

    3 best bets in (so far)

    Mamounia has shortened but the value is there for any number of multi combo's

    The 3 winning in a multi is showing 250-1 (290-1 with a boost) whilst the 3 running the place is at the odds of about 12-1 (with a boost)

    Cheers Macca, plan B is now a goer.

    Oakbank Race 9 No.1 Deep Speed $2.8(W)

    A bit of weight on even after the claim, hence why I went with Grandslam originally.

    Good luck all.

    All 3 winning paying about 100-1

    Using Witchchar Star for the place with the other 2 winning, the dividend is about 25-1

    Mammonia salutes and did it well but cunning Fox really pushed it hard at the end.

    Got the early double with our picks along with the 5-1 win odds I got for Mamounia on Wednesday

    Had your pick to win in the big paying multi but was happy to use the place odds for 'WS' in a couple of other multi's

    And get this; I backed Kementari and it won - that's a first!!

    So Deep Speed (DZ's pick) will deliver a decent payout if it salutes!

    So Nash gets suspended for his ride as there was insufficient room and the bump t9 Big Parade caused the jockey to stop riding and right the horse. Hence they suspended him.

    So if thatā€™s the case and the gap was too small and it impeded big parade Ā why was the correct weight given and the result to stand.Ā 
    To me itā€™s either both or none.Ā

    Did the rider of Big Parade lodge a protest?Ā  If not, I'm not sure that the stewards ever lodge by default

    In the UK & USA the stewards often do lodge autonomous protests but I can't remember the last time that has happened here

    Big Parade might have run it's race thus no protest ... just watched the replay - Big Parade looked spent

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert. Ā This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coachā€™s showdownĀ pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% winĀ rate)Ā againstĀ hisĀ protĆ©gĆ© Daisy Pearce (16Ā games,Ā 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisyā€™s record doesnā€™t yet reflect her impact ā€” but sheā€™s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Daisā€™Ā isĀ mythic. Ā LikeĀ Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill herĀ (sporting metaphor) orĀ be her. Ā ToothersĀ Daisy PearceĀ isĀ a role model,Ā someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chancesā€”plenty of themā€”but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Portā€™s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyā€™s inclusive bannerā€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodā€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.Ā

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
