There are any number of feature races right across Australia on the weekend ... 3 x Group 1's,  4 x Group 2's,  4 x Group 3's & 7 x Listed Races.  The majority of the Black-type races are at Flemington & Randwick but Morphettville,  Ascot & Doomben also have their own feature races. 

Winx runs around again in the Chipping Norton whilst the Australian Guineas,  Surround Stakes,  Blamey Stakes & Guy Walter Stakes are also standout races with quality fields throughout.

Randwick Race 7 Number 12 

Pohutukawa $4.80 W $2.00 P

Picking it to win, place value is good also for a place multi.

  The winning post not delivered to my newsagent this morning.  Very frustrating as it means I cant do my form on the train. 

Will have to get one somewhere and do on way home (and at home).

A reminder races at flemington start early tomorrow because of heat.

The All Star Mile if Johannes Vermeer wins tomorrow?  Probably gets a wild-card if so.  Apparently the horse is ready-to-go and is being well supported Wadda.  Gets in extra well in the weights tomorrow and is a Group level performer.  I was tempted to make it my best bet but have it included the horse in an exacta instead.

Otherwise the horse would be aimed at a possible quick back-up in The Australian Cup next week or perhaps the Ranvet (2000m Group 1) at Rosehill in late March (23rd) ... and then the 2000m QEII Stakes (Winx) or the $2Million Sydney Cup (run on the same day - April 13th)

Got my copy alright BM ... my local newsagent shut down a little while ago as is the growing trend so now have to go elsewhere.  I have a connection to the managing editor of WP as I played cricket with his brother for quite some time. 

Still a great publication but I especially like the feature articles including the overseas write-ups.  The 'Backtrack' section is fascinating too ... not included of late though for some reason.

Ok Macca, so seems a few options there.  Thanks for the heads up. Dr Turf mentioned Johannes and Material Man as the quinella barring an earthquake as long as Johannes is ready to go. Think i will have a little nibble at that.

Speaking of quinellas, do we know what the Winx/Happy Clapper quinella is paying yet? Gotta be 1.50 doesnt it???

Best Bets:

Flemington Race 8 No.1  Extra Brut $4.80 (Place)

Randwick R7 No 12 Pohutukawa $4.80 (Win)

Randwick Race 3 No 3 Microphone (Win)   $3.10

Some excellent selections there from the team.......Ok, so .....any drunken fool (which is what i am atm) can work out.....that give or take....... its roughly around 70/1 and a trip to Greece if your really keen..... . (provided they finish in the order predicted of course)..................... (hence A Day at the Races Management (ADRM) take all care, but no responsibility for punting on a very hot day). Good Luck to all and Lets Go Dees.

Interesting day. I'm playing flemington for somewhere between a leaders bunn and suit on  pace  and made my selections accordingly. If I get that right I'm confident of a big day.

My best is she's so high. Race 3 no 7 flemington. Will be too good for a small field and good value at 2.25 fixed atm

@binman back with a bang, good picking mate. She was way too good.

An omen bet if I’ve ever seen one today, Haames wins the first at Sydney, it was Number 7 but did jump out of barrier 4.

It feels like the late afternoon with the races at Flemington ... just gone 1.00pm and we're heading into race 6 already.

Just got back from being out and watched all the races ii missed.

Flemington looks like it is fair to all. No real leaders bias which is good for the racing, not so good for my selections.

Marked Mr quickie but went with a leader Mr Ash (should have had a saver)/

Impressive win by Schabau. The oz stayers cannot hold a candle to the Europeans. Areal worry and i can't see it improving any time soon. 

Good win by She's so high. good price too, starting at 2.30.

Same as last week ... got the 'saver' winner and also got the exacta but the team misses on 'Extra Brut'  - I'm picking the team says ugh and sighs. 

Could have gone for a shortie and that would have been 'She's so High' in race 3 so may re-evaluate my pick going forward.

What has been really noticeable today is the drifting in the market by horses that were previously at the top of the market ... I've got a few winners up but I've missed on the odds.

For a moment there ... but in the end Winx ran a sizzling 01:33.27 and did it on the bit

Happy Clapper picks up a lazy $114k for the connections for what looked like a bit of a jog-around.  Unforgotten a fair way back to 3rd.

My pattern is often similar Wadda ... I usually come home strong.

I might just cut out the slow starts by cutting out the early stuff!  There's a thought ?

In other news you'd reckon that 'Mystic Journey' would get a run in the All Star Mile after winning the Guineas today and so might 'Fifty Stars'  ... Hartnell as well?
