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.

Not sure what happened to Vega, looked like it was shot ! Not such a good day for us.....lets hope Alizee can get the bananas

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.

I wonder if they are explaining Ollies new retirement package........

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.

Edited by Macca

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)

  • 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?
