And it's not over yet!  Caulfield Saturday and it will be an interesting experiment by the MRC with regards to moving the Thousand Guineas from mid October

So there's 3 good betting races (2 at G1 level) to round out the Spring carnival (although the Perth summer carnival at Ascot does provide some keen and competitive racing)

Anyway, here are the 3 races and odds

Yes and will be kept to 1400m-1600m races.

Top shelf WFA races over 2000m are too much for him.

J-Mac starts his 6 week stint in Hong Kong as of tomorrow (Sha Tin) and he's got a full book of rides aside from R1

James & Zac Purton could dominate proceeding tomorrow as both jockeys are riding on any number of genuine winning chances

I quite like 'Mr Trafficanti' in R3 Caulfield on Saturday for a bit of each-way value 11.00/3.00

Well in at the weights and racing well

Damien Oliver goes out in absolute style!! 

Rides 3 winners with his last 3 mounts and saves the best until last 

Rides Munhamek to win in the aptly named $1.5Million Damien Oliver Gold Rush

Picks up $40k plus the sling

A champion dismounts for the final time

Wow!!

Barassi (the horse) is well worth following after it's very impressive win today

2nd start wins $147k up at the Gold Coast for the connections, smashed the clock and won by 4.5 lengths with Craig Williams on board

Sired by I Am Invincible

Don't often back roughies but Rich Fortune can run into the money if it can handle the pressure of a G1 race.  Been running excellent times at G3 & Listed level

Flemington R8 No.6

Rich Fortune $150/$15

Good card at Caulfield today. Reckon Rey Magnerio might go OK.

Geez I Am Velvet has no clue, but very promising.

Here's a series of podcasts that are well worth a listen.  Most enthralling! 

From the Great Bookie robbery as well as various tales of ring-ins & rorts in the horse racing industry

Not overly long either so packed full of interest from a bygone era

The Game Podcast Series (Dr Turf, Andrew Rule & Various Guests)

The time honoured G1 Moir Stakes to run this Saturday - The Dash for Cash!

The older horses vs the 3yo's

A decent betting race so the exotics could produce a nice dividend (More so the Trifecta or F4)

 

Moir Stakes 2024 Field

1000m Race at Moonee Valley Racecourse

Race Time: 4:50 pm
September 7, 2024
I-WISH-I-WIN.jpeg
1. I Wish I Win (5)
J: Luke Nolen
 
T: Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman
 
W: 58.5kg
Best Odds: $4.50
Rating: 
COMMENT: I remember last year, Peter Moody said about I Wish I Win that when he resumed in the Memsie, he didn’t need to be wound right up for it given it was 1400m and that there was petrol in the tank. 12 months, here he is resuming at 1000m and I reckon he’s wound right up. His jumpout work has been strong and last time he was at the 1000m, his run in the Lightning was incredible. If he handles the track and is within range, look out.

2. Mornington Glory (5)
J: Ethan Brown
 
T: Gavin Bedggood
 
W: 58.5kg
Best Odds: $17
Rating: 
COMMENT: Mornington Glory has been a revelation the last 6-12 months and is clearly liking The Valley so he has earned a crack. Lot to like about his Carlyon won two weeks back, sitting off speed, making a sustained run and was strong to the line in winning. I say no, he can’t win, but maps to do no work and is a must for exotics.
 
JOHNNY-ROCKER.png
3. Johnny Rocker (3)
J: Mark Zahra
 
T: Nick Ryan
 
W: 58.5kg
Best Odds: $17
Rating: 
COMMENT: Fascinating runner. I don’t think he is sharp enough for 1000m but I think from the gate, he does no work and will be strong late. Not sure he has the quality to win but he can run top four without surprising.
 
CABALLUS.png
4. Caballus (9)
J: Joshua Parr
 
T: Bjorn Baker
 
W: 58.5kg
Best Odds: $15
Rating: 
COMMENT: Potentially, a kind map for him getting outside Estriella, but I just don’t think he’s good enough. He has real flaws in his form IMO and this is different gravy. But, I have said this about a Bjorn Baker sprinter previously and I’ve been burned. But, I don’t think he can threaten. Should be the rank outsider.
 
CHAIN-OF-LIGHTNING.jpeg
5. Chain Of Lightning (4)
J: Damian Lane
 
T: Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman
 
W: 56.5kg
Best Odds: $13
Rating: 
COMMENT: Quality mare when right but is she sharp enough for 1000m? Moved well to win a recent jumpout at Pakenham and does race very well on the fresh side. There is forecast for rain Thursday and Friday, so whether that impacts the track, not sure, but she maps ideally. Slight overs IMO.
 
ESTRIELLA.png
6. Estriella (8)
J: Blake Shinn
 
T: Ciaron Maher
 
W: TBC
Best Odds: $3.00
Rating: 
COMMENT: Estriella looks to be absolutely humming for Ciaron Maher. Most of these runners are here to make a statement for The Everest and she is probably leading the line for that given what she did in the Autumn where she looked like a jet before an end of prep run in the Sangster. Her trial/jumpout work has been electric, has been set for the race…very hard to beat.
 
COLEMAN.png
7. Coleman (6)
J: Kerrin McEvoy
 
T: Matt Laurie
 
W: 56.5kg
Best Odds: $8.00
Rating: 
COMMENT: Better run in transit and he is probably a Golden Slipper winner. But I have thought his jumpout/trial work this time in has been really poor and hasn’t screamed out of a horse who can win a 1000m Group l fresh. If he wins, too good, but for mine, he’s got none. Not sure he has come up.
 
LADY-OF-CAMELOT.png
8. Lady Of Camelot (2)
J: Zac Lloyd (a)
 
T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott
 
W: 50kg
Best Odds: $5.00
Rating: 
COMMENT: Can’t deny her winning claims with the weight, the map and the intent from the trials. Slipper winner that looks prepped right up to run a beauty and the set up just looks perfect for her. Maps to stalk Estriella, Caballus drops off and she gets her chance. Hard to beat…but for mine, is too short.
 
HAYASUGI.png
9. Hayasugi (7)
J: Ms Jamie Kah
 
T: Clinton McDonald
 
W: 50kg
Best Odds: $11
Rating: 
COMMENT: I can see her being very dangerous. Blue Diamond winner that does need to step up to the plate but gee her trial/jumpout work has been sizzling. Loved her jumpout and then her trial behind Pharari last week was very good. The only knock is can she give them a start and a beating? You’ve got 50kg on her back and a decent price to find out.

J-Mac has only 2 rides tomorrow

R4 #3 Pisces

R7 #2 Aeliana 

The Double is paying 12-1

  • 4 months later...

Schwarz is a good chance (and good odds) in the G1 William Reid Stakes tomorrow (1200m)

Should lead from a nice gate and it might be a leaders track at the Valley

Moonee Valley (Saturday)

R9 #4  9.50/2.60  Schwarz

 

 


Not happy with the jock on Savoir Faire in the Yarra Valley Cup. Was paying $23 too.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
