Best Bet

Saturday Warwick Farm

Race 3 Number 3 Pandemic $2.40

They may not be racing up North tomorrow DZ

Already a Heavy9 and the rain does not look like stopping in the foreseeable future.  Mick Sharkie reckons the meeting will be abandoned

They are racing at Canterbury tonight so Warwick Farm might still go ahead.

I'd already placed 'Pandemic' in a couple of multi's before you posted up your best bet!

I’ll just leave it as is and see what happens tomorrow. Good luck if you’re having a go tonight Macca.

Just tomorrow & Sha Tin on Sunday DZ

Although,  they are racing on Sunday at Flemington.  7 races - all down the straight. 

I like the sprint races especially because the times can be used more so as a formline.  But Sha Tin is better in terms of comparing times - truly run races (generally)

And 'Pandemic' is well worth following ... a real speedy type.  The name is quite apt too!  Omen bet?

We might indeed be facing a worldwide Pandemic if the Corona virus keeps spreading. Strange days indeed.

Good luck tomorrow team.

We might just have seen the Diamond winner today. That was some win by Hanseatic. 

Yep - looks a real goodin' DZ does Hanseatic ... been an ok day so far (for myself) too with How Womantic & Microphone saluting. 

A slight departure away from exactas the last month with an emphasis on small multi's (2pics)

I have a little on for the win only as the saver.

Yes it was a top day, with 5 out of the last 6 races won by the fav. Microphone was a great win with the weight pull. Colin Sylvias Mother ditto in the last. Had Newsgirl for a plc. A few previous ADATR selections going around today.

Managed to land a couple of late winners (and a double) at Sha Tin (where they raced on a Saturday for once)  Moreira came through with the goods again!  I owe that bloke a beer.

Had a look at the fields for the 'Rapid-Racing' at Flemington tomorrow Wadda and there's some value runners about. 

More so in the quaddie legs ... smallish fields but even a skinny quaddie might pay well.

Nice work Macca. 

While we are talking value El Mag is going around at Flem tomorrow. Hadn’t looked at the fields until mate text me earlier saying the horse is running. $41 last time I looked, if there’s a win around the corner tomorrow would be nice.

What was the significance with Sunday racing at Flemington? Thats a new one isnt it? Its normally only the Turnbull Stakes day.

Twilight racing but this time all the races are down the straight.  At first glance the idea seems sound enough.

With so many horses in work in Australia they may as well be a bit creative with how the many meetings are structured.  Midweek-type fields today though.

We would lead the world with the amount of racecourses in operation Wadda ... it seems every country town has a footy oval/league pitch and a racetrack.

Ah i see, thought it was a new idea. I see its also city v country. Maybe we could do that and i will take on you and DZ ! :)

Interesting to note that they ran 2 lengths quicker in the 'Fillies' Blue Diamond Prelude yesterday ... which means that 'Letzbeglam' is well worth following up on (as well as 'Hanseatic' which won the C & G's Prelude)

Here's the replay of the fillies race as well as a replay of the CF Orr Stakes ... hopefully we get to see a lot more of the Orr Stakes winner, 'Alabama Express',  but it is a colt sired by the late Redoute's Choice.  A stud career awaits especially with a G1 success.  Impressive yesterday.

Like Star Missile plc. Had it bringing my multi home.

Tracks a weird situation being a good 4 but with a ton of water on the top. A lot just arent handling it.

Alligator Blood and Catalyst had shades of Bonecrusher and Our Waverly Star ! Great finish.

Yes it was a great finish Wadda ... the big surprise was 'Gytrash' in the Lightning Stakes ... as was the run of 'Nature Strip'.  Another reminder to never take odds that skinny - too much outlay to win a decent amount and thus, high risk)  Alizee,  Flit & Vegadaze all won in fine fashion at Randwick as well.

I had Nature Strip in a couple of multi's although but I backed the other legs to win outright or in exacta's as well (Fabric,  God of Thunder,  Seemingly Discreet & Dark Alley)

And thanks to JJ I ended up in front for the day (he tipped value runners Rivski & Rigalo Di Gaetano)

But Gytrash is the story looking ahead ... it's a much imoroved SA galloper although it's Morphettville form previously was very good (running excellent times & winning)  It's almost certainly a Group horse now and I'll be following it,  that's for sure.

JJ tipped 4 winners all up yesterday at Morphettville whilst no one seemed to fair well at Flemington.  Even Gator went against his namesake (Alligator Blood) Again, a barnstorming finish between the 2 star 3yo's.  Catalyst didn't lose any friends either,  just beaten by a slightly better horse on the day.

The current crop of 3yo's is quite something too ... Alabama Express,  Castelvecchio,  Bivouac,  Exceedence,  Libertini,  Super Seth,  Darlasan,  Flit,  Anaheed,  Microphone,  Lyre,  Loving Gaby,  Shadow Hero,  Warning,  Miami Bound,  Funstar,  Standout,  King of Hastings,  Tassort as well as Alligator Blood & Catalyst.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
