For the overseas racing ...

On your TAB account you can tune into Sky Racing 1,  Sky Racing 2 or Sky Thoroughbred Central.  Just login for access

Works fine for me on a laptop or on the phone. Racing channel (68 or 78) often covers a bit of the European racing as well.

Sky Thoroughbred Central will possibly be taking the ITV UK feed for the Curragh next Saturday. 

Thanks Macca.....i dont have a TAB account, only Laddies who dont offer. I think you can somehow get the app or something....but i prefer Ch 68/78 if its on at all i guess, on my big screen tele, otherwise...

If I get a chance I'll post up a few links for the Irish Derby next Saturday (Curragh) ... at first glance it looks a good betting race with no clearcut favourite. 

One for the exotics.

[Macca 16,173]

The Irish Derby is on Saturday night

Here are the listings, form & odds from RacingPost.com ... Irish Derby (Curragh)

The early favourite 'Russian Emporer' has been withdrawn but will probably run in the Epsom Derby on the 4th of July (1 week from this Saturday)

And if you're looking for a double at the meeting the race straight after the Derby is the G3 Vintage Crop Stakes where 'Latrobe' is listed as the topweight (if it runs)

There is a Night of Thunder that finished 2nd at its only start, going around in race 5 at Curragh tonight (Fri). No 16 Thunder Kiss.

Managed to back the winner of the Irish Derby so not giving out my tip worked! 

That's a bit of a conundrum looking ahead ... anyway,  here's the replay

 

[Macca 16,173]

This weekend we head to Epsom for the Derby & the Oaks

Epsom Derby - Full Field, Form & Odds

Epsom Oaks - Full Field, Form & Odds

Last start winner 'Frankly Darling' with Frankie Dettori on board starts 2nd favourite in the Oaks whilst the impressive 'Russian Camelot' trained by Aidan O'Brien is on the 3rd line of betting in the Derby.  But there are certainly some value runners in both events.

Was listening to RSN this morning and they were talking about a greyhound race that’s gone viral, in particular a dog by the name of ‘Good Juan’. So I looked it up and found this extraordinary. ‘ Winx-Like Numbers’

I’m on Macca. Actually like the idea throwing up some roughies on here every now and then until spring. 

[Gorgoroth 12,307]

Got a tip, they are confident of a very good show, thought I’d pass it along, take it as you will ?

Caulfield Race 7, 6 I am Someone

[Macca 16,173]

Roughie for the weekend

Sha Tin Sunday

Race 8 No.9 Pakistan Friend (33-1)

Ace tipster Tom Biddington has marked it on top after 2 strong trials from the horse.  Certainly has a chequered history but if it turns up it's a show.

One for the exotics

Not today Gorgo, but thanks....always feel free to pass on any tips and post them, thats what the thread all about, somewhere for us to have a shout out.

How about the Dees Flag into Russian Camelot for the Melbourne Cup. 260/1 at the moment....worth a little flutter aye Macca. If we beat Brisbane, the odds will change, thats for sure.

This may be the only year we dont get the internationals, so the race (may) run a little closer to form.

That tip was for a few weeks ago,  not yesterday’s  races. 

But I’ll pass any along I get, sometimes get some good stuff, others very outside.

Haha, thats funny cause i just looked at the form when i saw the tip and it was running yesterday in race 7 No 6.

It only seems a short time ago when I was talking up the chances of 'Sunlight' in the Magic Millions 2yo classic (it won) ... but today the mare was sold for $4.2Million at the Magic Millions sales for broodmares.

That went quick!

So how many foals can a mare produce?  6 or 7?  8? ... that's at least $500k per foal without the stud fees.  Big money.

The connections have done extra well after paying $300k for the horse (with winnings of over $6.5Million)

Sunlight will always remain a favourite of mine.

Probably not too early to resume transmission here. A watch for tomorrow . Valley R3 No1. ABN. The fellas at work are pleased with her work leading into her return. Decent each way odds. A lot of speed on her inside is a bit of a worry but hopefully she shows the class we saw early in her first prep.

I couldn't really find a best bet DZ but I've got Brimarvi Vehero in a multi or 2 ... Morphettville Race 3 No.4 $2.60

James Jordan has it as one of his best bets as well. 

Good luck to anyone having a punt tomorrow.  The racing has been a godsend during this time.  A terrific distraction.

[Gorgoroth 12,307]

Got two today, both at the valley
race 6, 10 wilmot pass, it’s fav, but they are supremely confident so maybe worth in a multi or quaddie

other is race 9, number 9 Proper rogue.

 

good luck all.

Good stuff Gorgo....2 seconds ! Keep em coming. Consider yourself selected for the upcoming spring carnival...

...not long now.

Stay safe gang.

[Macca 16,173]

Showmanship showed a bit ... dominant in the end for sure.  Pikey in the last in Melbourne insread of Ascot!

Viridine just too good whilst Savatiano stood out for those who weren't looking (yours truly included)

An even day with a few winners ... North Pacific looks one to follow out of the races up in Sydney.

 

 

[rolling fog 1,146]

I was left underwhelmed by Parlophone in the end. Showed a bit in the lead up but faded away at the distance.

[Macca 16,173]

Horrific crash in the MotoGP ... no one seriously hurt thank goodness but Valentino Rossi can count his lucky stars.

The vision can be viewed online with a quick search.

Jack Miller the Aussie leads the race with 18 laps to go and hopefully he can hold on and win.

[Macca 16,173]

The 1st Group 1 of the new season is coming up at Randwick on Saturday but there are 6 Stakes races in all across Melbourne & Sydney ... all of them good betting races.

• Randwick R4 Silver Shadow St.
• Randwick R5 Show County Quality
• Randwick R6 Toy Show Quality
• Randwick R7 Winx St (Group 1)
