A Day at the Races

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Alright, I’ll complete the hat trick with past winners of the BBs.

BB: Flemington Race 5 Number 1

Amphitrite $3.30

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

I do have one question. Why would you put a 2yo thats has 2 starts in the Grp 1 Lightning Stakes? carries 44kg

I think i might have just answered my own question.....because its 19th in order of entry for the Blue Diamond?

Paid 13/1 on debut win. Looks a good sort, but i reckon its the trainers ego and the attention thats calling the shots here. We will see on Saturday.

Thanks for that DZ

Maybe everyones feeling nostalgic because i posted Day at the Races film!!? The horse that won was number 7 High Hat.

Its also a very apt horse to win our first race Macca ...Dont Give A Damn. I think thats the attitude that typifies the thread. (thank god)

[Macca 16,961]

Laddies are offering $2 for Winx winning again ... $20 maximum bet but that's money for old rope.

Unless they run 'Tom' forward again there may not be a lot of speed in the race so Winx may not win by a big margin.  But then again,  she might win by 6+ lengths. 

Happy Clapper trialed really well recently and Unforgotten is a top-rater.  I reckon that's the top 4 with Winx on top of course.  Tom ran a very quick 01:21.17 over 1400m in winning it's last start so Waller might have figured out how to get the best out of the horse. 

Winx wins but if one can figure out 2nd,  3rd & 4th (in order?) then there's a half decent return to be had if taking a F4 combo multiple times.

$2.00....ill take their $40!! What a pity i dont have 5000 Ladbrokes accounts.

I got 92/1 boosted for our bets.

Nice work Wadda ... I'll get on later.

20 units of the 40 units expected return from a Winx win could be invested in advance on a F4 in the race - it's like a free bet really.  The initial 20 units outlay you can get back and keep.

Remembering that in this race - 2018 Winx Stakes the F4 paid $2807 with Invictus Prince running 2nd.   The best outsider that could run 2nd in the Apollo Stakes is probably Tom although 'Egg Tart' can run a sharp 1400m if the horse can find its best form. 

As is always the case with the Winx races,  it's just a matter of snagging a trifecta (of sorts) with the remaining runners in order to snag the F4.  And the race being a WFA affair means it's best to look for WFA form.  Happy Clapper is therefore the standout WFA performer of the rest and again,  it trialed very well recently.

Tom is very good at running 2nd Macca. What a pity we cant put Winx at 2.00 into Multis.

I also notice both DZ and i have Craig Williams ridding our BBs.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Actually....do you know what?! If you throw Winx into our Multi as the 4th leg, you get another 6/1. Now that is money for old rope.

And with the odds booster including Winx kicks it up to 100-1 from 92-1. 

2 coffees becomes 200 coffees (Alex Watson territory)

[Macca 16,961]

Flemington Saturday (all races)

Randwick Saturday (all races)

The standout races being the Lightning Stakes (race 8 ) at Flemington & the Apollo Stakes (race 6) at Randwick. 

The Light Fingers Stakes (race 7) at Randwick has attracted a very good field and it is a similar story for the CS Hayes Stakes (race 7) at Flemington. 

Those are the 4 features that will attract the most interest.

Unreal huh guys? Not often you can just grab another 8/1 on top of your bet and be pretty damn sure about it.

Ive thrown your 2 picks in with Sunlight and Written By in case Ozzie isnt up to it. As you say Macca, we can work stuff around our base combos.

Gee you have to look at Extra Brut at 9/1 in the CS Hayes.

The Lightning is always a tough race to find the standout winner Wadda but that suits my way of punting (exotics) ... the pools will be large and the dividends could be very healthy with the right combo & outcome.  Osborne Bulls has got a real good chance - quality field though.  But that's the case with nearly all the Group races.

Yep, i agree. At some stage sometimes.....you just have to take a punt.

Yeah Wadda,  I base my betting strategy around the chat here,  my own thought's,  Gator's tips & JJ's tips so I've had to readjust. 

And in the end I boxed a few behind Winx for a bit of value (in a F4)

Searched out JJ's best bet - Morphettville Race 7 No.7 Excessabeel ($5.20)

No mate ... his best bet is highlighted on the 'Get on' show on Thursday nights (racing channel)  So that's it unfortunately.

Gator's tips are up on Racing.com (under the best bets banner)  Offers up a lot of value this week too.
