The Adelaide Cup is a wide open affair but 'Home by Midnight' is racing really well ... apart from its latest win it has recently run a couple of eye-catching 2nd's at Caulfield this prep.

Sure to be running on as it has run a couple of 2nd's at the 2 miles.  It's in my exacta combo along with a few others.

I watched the racing from Dubai late Saturday DZ as there were 7 Group races as well as a 2 Group 1's but ... no crowd (Coronavirus)

The races went ahead without any patrons and that trend is going to spread elsewhere. 

The Indian Wells tennis tournament has just been called off and all it will take is 1 player to contract the virus (in the AFL) for the competition to be compromised.  Empty stadiums or no play at all.  Ditto for any other sport.

Yeah watching the soccer highlights from Italy is very strange......no home ground advantage anymore. Friends in Italy talk about nothing else.

That’s the game Wadda, thought I had it. Not to worry, we’ll go again on Saturday. Great win by the King in the cup.

Really unlucky DZ ... been that sort of day.  Lots of the favoured horses winning but with multi's,  there's nearly always one that puts you out.  Yours was the right strategy though.

My exactas the same ... either 1st & 3rd or a low dividend because of the 2 fancied runners finishing 1 & 2. 

Still,  that's racing but you always need a bit of luck.  I have lost count of the amount of times when I have won with sheer luck at play!  Often the margin of a nose is the difference.

I think the weight really came into play with Home by Midnight. It got to about 2800 then just went backwards. 60 kg or whatever it was over 3200 is always a big ask.

Had a similar day to DZ with a multi of Samson, One More Jack and King of Leogrance all saluting....the last leg was the fav Free of Debt just to run a plc..... it came last. Shock, horror and dismay. But the punt giveth and the punt taketh away. We live to fight another day. Back to the 3 race strategy. Worked last Sat. Thats my go from now on.

Yes the 3 x 2pic combined with the 3pic can work well Wadda.  Might try it next weekend but that could involve having an exacta in each of the individual races instead of the 3 extra doubles that could be part of the 3pic strategy. 

That 2pic/3pic also happens to be the favoured strategy of Gator when it involves the short-priced favourites.  Makes sense but you've got to get 2 of the 3 home to make a profit.

My strategy always involves getting back some collects Wadda (however small if it works out that way) So individual exactas is my preference.

For instance,  I also collected 3 exactas from our 3 race strategy ... but I didn't put on the 3 doubles (should have?)  One also doesn't want to invest too heavily in just a few races so either/or is probably best.  But if they're group races where the best are running around then it can be worth the risk.

By the way,  all our picks tightened in the market so the good odds (as a combo) didn't last much past 12noon on Friday.  Still, it's always nice to land a 30-1 shot!

Yeah they sure did come in. I waited to long and got on about midday Saturday. I developed a habit of waiting in case 1 was scratched which has happened before. I still got 16/1 and adjusted my outlay accordingly. (2 cups of coffee) So i was happy with the return and practice make perfect. I think we are getting better at it.

Lets hope the coronavirus doesnt impact the sport so hard we dont get a Spring carnival.... Who knows.

So have we got a contingency plan if the races are cancelled in Oz?

Honkers?  Europe?  Chile?  Bitcoin?  Online Poker?

We can't hit the casino and pile it all on the red as the crowd there might exceed 500.

We have to find a way!

Haha, haven’t bothered with it since the ban Wadda all those years ago. I was only a low limit player, working at the casino where you weren’t allowed to punt whilst employed a few of us looked elsewhere for a bit of fun. A few fellas organised regular card games at home for us to socialise away from work also. Was good fun.

Might take you up on the Euro account offer,  simply for nappies mate. Shelves are dry.

Got 22-1 for our multi fellas which is more than decent odds for 3 very good chances. 

I've gone down the exacta path with legs 1 & 3 whilst taking out a trifecta in the Probabeel race. 

Hoping for 4 collects!

So weird with no crowd. Only media and a few trainers.

Few chances around today and The All Star Mile will be a classic. Can Alligator Blood do it again!? I will certainly be on board.

Good luck with the day everyone.

Looks like Rosehill might be abandoned due to poor visibility

That would be a first for us. Still 1 pick to come in R8.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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
