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!

What a small world we live in Wadda

I've got a  Giclée print of Rembrandts 'Night Watch' along with a number of other Giclee prints of various works of art ... I usually go to AllPosters who are quite reliable in terms of quality.

In fact,  the quality is often quite amazing with Giclee prints ... got a few Vermeer,  Brueghel,  Caravaggio,  Van Gogh,  Renoir et al.  They are a tad less expensive than the real thing (ha ha) but with the right sort of lighting and framing,  the prints often look like the real thing.

Thats really great Macca. I had not really heard of Giclee until now? Thanks for that link. They must be an outstanding quality. Might have a look at some AllPosters stuff. I literally forget sometimes about online shopping. Its a bit of a cultural desert up here.

Pity about Ozzie, looks like he got a bit caught on the fence, but beaten by a good horse in the end. 3 seconds in a row.

Although i missed the race i did mention that Divanation was going around Caulfield in race 2. Its the first time the 4 yo mare has stepped up to 2000 in her 5 starts and came 2nd paying 4.30. Out of All to Hard and Makybe Diva its form is now 12X312. Is this the horse weve been waiting for? The other Diva prodigy have not done much i believe. Might pay to keep an eye on this one.

I've got about 8 really good prints but did have to send one back one time (quality average but got a full refund) ... and that was a ways back Wadda.  The prices have come down a bit and getting a canvas print is a good option too. 

I believe there is now a 'super' giclee option available but it's great fun perusing ... I know a couple of people who frame paintings and prints so I have previously just ordered the giclee prints on their own.

'All posters' have got just about everything but there are probably a number of online print companies ... but if you do order anything giclee,  start off inexpensive as a test case or 2.

By the way,  JJ has got me 3 winners today (so far) including Meli Melo in the 7th at Oakbank - got the exacta as well so a happy lad here mate!

 

In the light of the most recent event (another shocking loss) ...I might just stick around at ADATR for the winter! (or at least the MB thread)

I mean,  at least we've got a bit of control of the happenings at the races & multi's.  As a mere onlooker with the footy,  the sharp pain just continues to be quite prevalent.

Pays to broaden your horizons as a demons fan ... I started doing so in the late 70's!

I was in the Cheer Squad in the mid seventies Macca, and used to make the banners and take them in on the train. Saw it all first hand every Saturday afternoon from Bay 13, for many a long year. Its very ingrown. Broaden away!

Not sure what your talking about? We are having a spell in the paddock after a big Autumn. Feel free to post though as we always check in from time to time, anything you post will be read. Not sure mystery posts are the way to go. Good luck with your pick.

I will always have a go at any good mail anyway.

Go Widgee Turf!

Best Bet

Randwick Race 7 No.9  Deprive  $2.15

A bit short but should win

My other big watch is 'Kolding' in the QLD Guineas at Eagle Farm (Race 5) ... set a track record 2 weeks ago at Randwick but it is also on the short side ($2.60)

As for the Stradbroke ... I'm having a First4 on the race and I will definitely be including 'Widgee Turf' ($15 the win & $3.80 the place) on top with a few others ... has run some excellent times at the 1400m and has a 12: 4-5-2 record over the journey as well.  Needs a good run from the 16 gate but can storm home.


Best Bet

Flemington Race 4 Number 7 Leiter $2.90

Fought on well after being wide the trip last start. 

Also trying my luck with the exotics in the Stradbroke, will be including Deploy (12) $23 and $7.

Dare I say it ... very confident with those 3 Wadda.  A good dividend too at 22-1

Widgee winning offers 90-1 all-up.  Worth a one coffee outlay ?

Love the one coffee outlay Macca. I recently discovered a new coffee brand i like at Coles, so instead of going to the local coffee shop i can use that on more exotic outlays such as ours.

Yes you can dare say it! :)

Widgee has come into 10.00 (3.20 the place) ... once again the ADATR crew have started another plunge!

Yes Macca, its no coincidence some of the betting gurus are down on form since ADATR crew has been spelling....

Good luck team.

I've done really well following free tips on Victorian provincial meetings  on justhorseracing.com.au.

Not so good on metropolitan meetings.

Nice one Bingers. Feel free to post any tips you get here no matter where you get them from. We are currently having a spell in the paddock from our weekly Best Bets. We should be back early in the Spring. But any tips are always welcome. Thanks for your contribution.

Last Group 1 of the season at Eagle Farm on Saturday (Tatts Tiara Race 8 ) ... a good betting race too.  In fact the 4 feature events (Races 6,  7,  8 & 9) are all good betting races by the looks of it.  Go to Racenet.com for more details.

And the first day of the Ascot carnival was raced overnight.  'Blue Point' won the feature sprint in impressive style and the connections (Godolphin/Charlie Appleby) may well be eyeing off the Everest in the Spring.  The horse is a fine sprinter with an excellent record so it racing in the Everest would add a lot to the race

Lord Glitters won the Queen Anne Stakes whilst Circus Maximus won the St James's' Palace Stakes.  Replays can be found on youtube or Tab.com.au

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
