I ummed an ahhed about my best. I suspect the combination of J Cummings and McEvoy (the best Australasian jockey?) might have a huge day, and Spring for that matter. I really like Cascadian and Rohryn (and Tenly with bowman on board) but i'm going to make my best:

Mosh Music Race 6 no 9 at the Valley.

I love horses who love the valley and i love picket fences.

I've got Fundamentalist included in my exacta strategy Wadda.

Godolphin rarely use Damien Oliver (who is aboard Alizee) so Oli might pull out an extra special ride.

Apparently the instructions are to ride the horse cold and then swoop home. 

It's my best and $3.60 for the win is quite reasonable too. 

As for Vega Magic - excellent choice.

Keen to see how Bivouac goes in the San Domenico tomorrow. Probably the most impressive win I’ve seen so far in the early part of the carnival. Streaked them a fortnight ago.

If Alizee had have got up I would have had a bumper day Wadda.  As it was I followed Gator who produced 5 winners.  So ended up reasonably well in front.  Dawn Dawn at 8.50 (boosted) was a terrific start in race 2 (another Gator value pick)

As for our picks,  no good but it was only a small multi investment so no biggie.

Didn't follow JJ (James Jordan) as his picks were on the short side but he got 5 winners as well.  The big multi was there for the taking! 

They are the best 2 tipsters in the business in my opinion.  I'll post up their tips going forward if I've got the time but Gator's Melbourne racing tips are posted on Racing.com on a Wednesday evening (under the banner of 'Best Bets') whilst James Jordan's Morphettville tips are up just after 9.00am on a Saturday (again,  on Racing.com)

Awful awful news with the 2 young jockeys losing their lives.  Such a dangerous occupation.

Deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mikaela Claridge & Melanie Tyndall.  Heart wrenching.

Thats unbelievable, its normally a once in a decade or more type thing and that normally a terrible injury. But 2 in less than a week is just shocking.

Hang on a minute Wadda

For a start Oliver gave the horse a near perfect run.  Sat just behind the leader on the fence and then got the dream run on the inside.  The horse never left the rails.

But then the horse didn't go ... it was later reported that the horse has a hot spot in it's foreleg.  If serious the horse may well be retired.

I knew there was something wrong with the horse as soon as it didn't have that kick.  I didn't need confirmation.  I did my money too so you're not alone.

Go back and have another look at the race Wadda.  I understand that you may be hearing about the possible injury to the horse for the first time so thus the cross wires.

A similar reaction came with the punters after a run by Avilius in Melbourne last Autumn (Australian Cup)

It was reported after the disappointing run (1.4 length 5th) that Avilius had contracted an ulcer/abscess in one of it's eyes.  That's got to affect a horse.

But punters are an unforging lot so the good odds were on offer in it's next run.  It duly won at 7-2 (overs) I got on and I might have even made it my best bet here.

And other times horses just don't run well because of some unidentified problem (like weariness from a solid campaign - which happens a lot)

I thought Vega Magic's odds were a bit too short anyway.  Sprint races often throw up mixed results (especially at Caulfield or the Valley)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
