Verry Elleegant salutes in the Oaks in the Demons colors. 99 Grp 1 wins for Waller.

Too good,  too classy was Verry Elleegant.  Another great prospect for the future Wadda

Winx retires and then the onus goes to 7 or 8 very good horses that are a notch below ... the way things normally are/were before Black Caviar & Winx. 

As a punter,  I prefer the latter situation but as a horse racing enthusiast,  I prefer the former arrangement.  And the horse racing enthusiast in me wins out. 

We are going to miss Winx once it is retired ... I would have preferred another Spring campaign and a 5th Cox Plate but it's not a perfect world.

    I've put Harlem into a F4 but I'm only having a bet in the race because it's the last time we will see Winx race ... unless of course the connections change their minds!

    That was nerve-wracking!

    What an absolute wonder horse - the mighty Winx!

    Joins the ranks of Bernborough,  Carbine,  Phar Lap,  Tulloch,  Makybe Diva & Black Caviar - all champions in their respective era's.  Sunline as well maybe.  Vain was great too.

    I'm in no position to separate them so I won't ... much prefer to celebrate them all. 

    Winx - Champion!

    That was amazing. Hope you got the ff.

    On a side note 4 favorites in a row now at Morphettville

    Think Winx tried to kiss Bowman back then!

    I'm guessing the connections might have kept the colours for luck Wadda

    A lot of the Weir horses have won since his suspension ... hard to know how many as the form guide for any of his former horses doesn't mention the former trainer.  But it's quite a number.

    Ok thats interesting. So if i see a horse racing in those colors then i can assume its a horse from the trainer formally known as....

    Tbh, i thought they might have suspended the colors as well....

    Interesting development

    David Gately has joined the Sky team so we won't see him on the racing channel from here on in.

    Still posts his tips up on Best Bets and today,  the racing channel no longer refers to Gators tips - instead they are calling them the Best bets tips.

    JJ got me a good place there with his top pick Sizzleme in the 7th in Adelaide paid well for the place which i have anchoring a football multi. I like to cross sports.

    Thanks for the JJ tips Macca. It was a bit of a hard day today, but was great to see WinX. We were privileged to see such a great horse in our time.

    I imagine DZ is getting the paint out of his ears by now. See you all over on Monkey later.

    There was a bet placed on Winx 550,000 to win 33,000........ok who was it? DZ.....?

    Haha Wadda, lol, if I had half a mil spare I’d build us our own social club to enjoy MFC wins. I did manage to sneak my phone down to the trenches to watch the race.  Winx fantastic once again. What more can you say?

    Hope you fellas had some luck today.

    We went 0 for 4 today with our tips DZ which we've never done ... it was just one of those days but my punting strategy always includes a few bets at Sha Tin on a Sunday and a Saturday overnight double or 2 out of the feature events from the UK & Ireland.  Small outlays can deliver good outcomes if luck is on your side.

    Apart from a number of obvious standout winners,  we saw a number of very good each-way chances or roughies finish 1st or 2nd ... more so at Randwick & Caulfield.  So if you got a collect or 2 from the exotics,  the dividends were quite good.

    I'll post here occasionally during the off-season (May thru to September) but am going to be very busy at work for the next 2 or 3 months anyway ... may not do a best bet as I'm not sure I'll have the time to identify a standout.

    But all the best if you're having a dabble!

    Now having said what i said previously 1 more surely couldnt hurt. There are some very good races this Saturday. Some of the stars going around inc. Divanation out of Makbe Diva and All too Hard first start at 2000, Osbourne Bulls and Thrillster returns to Caulfield after a spell.

    Best Bet:

    Randwick Race 7 No 2 Osbourne Bulls $2.60

    really cant resist Ozzie in this field, has come in from 3.40 earlier in the week

    If I get a chance I'll throw in a best bet but might be lunchtime Saturday Wadda ... got a lot on right now

    OB should win ... looks a good thing and the extra 200m suits well.

    Ok so race Caulfield Race 4 No1 was Princess Jenni which won paid 6.50.

    So youve got the race and the number correct, but do you have the right horse i wonder? I was a bit busy this morning so i missed and just checked the thread now.

    If thats the horse you meant then WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!    (warning point) :)

    Quite like Nights Watch Macca. I was lucky enough to see the original Rembrandt in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam last year. It is a seriously huge massive painting and of course stunning.

    Good luck with our picks!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
