    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
