Be good toya mother salutes. Age of Chivalry runs well.

Thansk for the tip on BGTM ?

Got the approval of BM,  JV7 as well so it looks like we were all on it Gorg!

Looked the winner a long way from home carrying that light weight and with a big advantage at the weights as well.

In true Aussie tradition the handicapper was beaten as well.  It is too good a horse to be only carrying 52kgs.  But that is how it works and the smart punters were all over the horse.

 

Yes indeed well done Fellas on some top picks. That race had about 7 former ADATR selections running in it including Widgee Turf which i was going to make my best for a place, but i think its probably best not to have 2 picks in the same race. i can always back it myself anyway, which i did. Nice work Binman at the Randwick mud throwing contest.

I notice the jockey on Black Heart Bart said, " the horse felt better than its felt for a long time. The 1400m was too sharp for him and needs to step up. Hes ready to show something". Might be worth following, since his race odds have been around the 60/1 mark of late.

Randwick wasn't too bad in the end WWS. Brilliant win by Avillius. Needs it at least soft i reckon.The best horse in the county in my opinion, but clearly does not like firm ground,

If the cox plate is soft i reckon he's close to a good thing. I can see him sitting wide and sweeping over the top with the camber to win going away.

had a funny day. Ended up not backing be good to ya mum. Just felt it was a bit short. Kicking myself given my comments about its weight advantage and historical edge. Actually backed three long shorts, including Widgee turf (win only). All three ran well but no cigar

Racing at Flemington tomorrow ... the Oaks Trial & Derby Trial being the feature events (races 6 & 7)

Celestial Falls has strong support in the Oaks Trial whilst Serious Liaison is favoured in the Derby Trial ahead of Adelaide Ace.

A friend’s horse is racing at Flemington tomorrow in the 1st ‘Zesty Belle’ Macca. He’s pretty excited about its chances, not a tip by any means, it is a race full of first starters after all where the steward’s horse might even beat them home.

We’ll see if it’s worth following in the spring.

Thanks for that DZ

I follow a couple of tipsters as you know but Paul Joice isn't too bad getting the odd roughie up

His special today as well as his value tip at Canterbury is very good odds. 

Race 3 No. 12  Weston $18 (Win)  $4 (Place)

Pay dirt!

Nice 3 figure collect with the Celestial Falls & Adelaide Ace double.  Having 2 horses running for you in a double is handy though

Looks a likely type does Adelaide Ace.

Best so far.........   @binman.........please enter selection when ready.... :)    

 

Excellent night of racing ahead of us at the Valley.  Of most interest will be the Moir Stakes (Race 7) which will be a mad scramble over the 1000m.  Nature Strip is favourite but there are any number of speedsters that have drawn well

The other races of note are the Scarborough Stakes (Race 5) & the JRA Stakes (Race 6)  Both are good betting races.

Go to Racenet.com for more details.

'Nature Strip' hangs on to win the Moir Stakes

Miss Leonidas was mentioned strongly by one of pundits and very nearly pinched the race at 50-1.  All the exotics thus paid well even though Sunlight got up for 3rd.  F4 with Faatinah running 4th paid 12k. 

Chris Waller has set Nature Strip for the  Everest but might have to gain entry via the Schillaci Stakes (unless one of the remaining slot holders nominates the horse)  Not sure about the 1200m though,  all the same. 

Still,  the horse beat a crack field and now has 2 x Group 1's on the board.

Sorry for not getting this posted yet.

My best is Morphetville Race 4 no 6 nistaan.  Is very short (1,75 atm) but in a small field should win.

Such a frustrating night last night. Had the winner marked in all but one race but pulled the wrong rein

And some excellent racing at Rosehill today with any number of the favoured horses heavily supported.

The Golden Pendant (Race 5) sees the WA star sprinter in 'Enticing Star' having her first run in the Eastern States.  Chris Waller has the horse as his best for the day.

And the Golden Rose (Race 7) has only 8 runners but it's a very good field.  My best bet happens to be in the same race ... 'Bivouac' carrying the Godolphin colours trained by James Cummings. 

www.racenet.com

Oh,  and there's a Grand Final going on as well! Tigers to win but it could be a thriller.  GWS are new to this sort of thing but they are an ultra-talented outfit.  I reckon Tigers 1-39 is the safer option ($2.00)

Yep top pick Macca. James Cummings is the next big trainer (no surprises there) but i have been following him for a while and always take note of his horses in each race they are in. Will feature heavily in the Spring.

Also noting Jamie Kahs mounts. She does get a lot of fairly nothing rides, but as soon as shes on something half decent watch out.

Jamie is very good especially with the middle distance races or further.  She's a real horsewoman as opposed to just being a jockey. Like Bowman,  Oliver,  Walker et al. 

Jamie is riding Gatting in the Underwood and if the race is a truly run affair Gatting can win again.  Trap for Fools,  Gailo Chop & Homesman will probably ensure that the speed will be on so Jamie may well get another Group 1.

And I'm on your choice of 'Brave Song' in the Testa Rossa Stakes (R8)  It's first up form is excellent and it should be flying home. 


And just like that Jamie Kah has a fall in the next race.  The Medusa Touch.

Sitting up and apparently ok but not sure if she'll be alright for her remaining mounts.  Could be some concussion issues.  Important thing is Jamie is ok

Another 100-1 shot wins a Group 1.   A 9 year old to boot.

Black Heart Bart salutes in the Underwood Stakes.  Who would have picked that? 

The horse was retired a year ago,  they bring it back and then this.  Amazing.

Just noticed your post above

I do remember you mentioning the horse come to think of it.

It wasn't a strong field but it was unwanted in the betting,  all the same.

  • 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?
