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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
