Me too, unfortunately the only on I have left is our one with all too place. I stuffed up and did place on all instead of each way. But that’s ok, did another with all wins it age came second. Reckon a drier track and age beats it. 

And Blazing Miss loomed large and then dropped away - couldn't get through the heavy ground (and it was a very heavy track at Randwick in the end)  You're in the lap of the gods once the conditions deteriorate like they did.

The ADATR place multi didn't quite work out but I got a few winners and the trifecta in the Cox Plate so a decent day

Yeah Blazing looked good but there was the part when it straightened and the mud flicking off was incredible.

 

Gratz on the trifecta! Had a winner and 4 bonus bets come my way, had yes baby yes and the fav in a trifecta but unfortunately the third horse didn’t go my way.

hoping for a better night on the GF.

I had a win bet on Armory but when the rain came Sir Dragonet came right into it because of its form on slow tracks.  I had it on top in the end so just needed the right combo with the others.  Arcadia Queen unlucky by all accounts ... nearly got knocked over early but still came 5th

Got the tri in the Manikato Stakes last night as well ... the speed maps gave Hey Doc an ideal run in the race and that's how it turned out

Got lucky but you need luck in this game Gorg.

Good luck with your multi's tonight ... I'm doing the form at Saint-Cloud (Fr) tonight!

Good choice. It’s $10 on Sportsbet so not sure where the $12 is but that’s even better value.

It’s a good field, hoping for a good Derby day. Hope the rain isn’t too heavy and the track stays a good.

$9.50 up to $12 booster odds with Ladbrokes Gorg

I'm always on the lookout for horses that run recent good times and 'Rock' falls into that category. 

Should get into the finish as it is well weighted and has drawn nicely.  Might need a gap or 2 in the straight but Michael Poy is a good jockey. 

$3.10 the place suits the multi punters as well

Yeah I always look at the place returns too. And they are good.

You've got to get in early to get the odds sometimes

I had 'Nimalee' (Rosehill R6 No.10) picked out for a win bet but it's gone from $12 (boosted) yesterday into $4.80 today!

And then I noticed that Gator had picked it out as well.  Ugh!

Agree but my prob is that if I go early I then change my mind 599 times

3 best bets for a place multi paying $25 (boosted)

The 3 win bets in a multi returns $550 (or extra with a boost)

That's a good start ... got Crosshaven up with double the winnings!

Effectively 8-1 with the early odds up on Wednesday ... gotta love that!

Mate to,s me to jump on Crosshaven after I had tossed it up with embolism and went embolism.

 

Got Ashrun in the 4th.

Place multi still alive ... didn't see the race but 2nd in that field is a grand effort

And now Johnny Get Angry wins the Derby ... trained by none other than Denis Pagan.  Can you believe it?

[Gorgoroth 12,331]

Can and was on it and also got the first 4 at 20% ?

Happy days.

Well done!

No such luck my way but I've had a decent day so far so can't complain

That extra 500m was the difference by the sounds of it and will they run it in the Cup?

Pagan can expect a number of offers from horse owners from here on in though,  all the same.  Picks up a cool $120k as the trainer of the horse.  Nice work if you can get it!

I was on it last start and it got a horrid start out of the stalls and made up massive ground to the point I reckon it places easily but tbh if it wasn’t for my mate banging on about it for weeks I wouldn’t have got on it.

I got the early double Gorg (place) ... odds were about 10-1 so definitely worth the gamble

North Afrika salutes and it's party time (with masks adorned of course!)

Collette wins the Golden Eagle!  I was on the wrong Godolphin runner (Flit)

@Macca

Surprise baby with Barrier 7 sits very well. Some of the others drew worse barriers.

After getting a nice return on Ashrun today I might put a few on that, but a Surprise baby is who I’m on.
