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

 

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 race…I’m struggling to pick the winner.
@Gorgoroth I’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 I’ll combine them for a bit of fun, I’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 Savatoxl 

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

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 didn’t look good from the jump.

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

Caulfield Race 7 No.12 Grandslam 

$6.5 (W) & $2.5 (P)

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.

Best Bet 

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


My pick of the day has been scratched.

If your game have a little on race 7 Number 14 Esti Feny. Could fill out the tri at good odds. 

WS came out well and looked like it was making a good run before veering off to the right and losing momentum.

I'm well and truly alive in my multi's with WS running on for 3rd.  Got out to 3.10 the place as well

Good get, Gorg

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!


Thought count de rupee had won for me but my grey darling Polly Grey saluted and by 6 lengths!!! 

 

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 that’s the case and the gap was too small and it impeded big parade  why was the correct weight given and the result to stand. 
To me it’s either both or none.

Did the rider of Big Parade lodge a protest?  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

  • 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?
