No pressure folks :)

Good on you Macca, well done.

From a personal point of view Wadda,  2 out of 3 ain't bad ?  Sweated up a bit before the race did Dadoozdart.  Didn't finish off as a consequence (?)

And I'm in the habit of taking the first 2 choices (as they are sequentially run) as we've historicall got the first 2 legs up (on occasions)

And Laddies will give a 2nd odds boost with the extra runner (or the reduced runner)  if you wait till the next day.  In other words put the tri bet on Thurs/Fri and then the early double on Sat.

That's how I do it anyway.  Odds boost is a priority though ... in terms of percentages.

Ah i see. When i write out the 3 bets, i now put them in sequential order as they are run.

I guess the Dooz is more suited over 2000 as they say, just thought it might have brained em over 1700 but it wasnt to be. Did look a touch jumpy in the mounting yard. Sometimes the internationals can be a bit one paced i think. Will be one to look at in the Spring perhaps, if we get a spring carnival. They might have to send the Ruby Princess off to England to bring back a few horses, dont think it will have much else to do for a while !

The racing will continue on into the Spring albeit with reduced prizemoney Wadda.  Unless there is an outbreak of the virus.  But they'll still be racing for good money even with the reduced prizemoney. 

Not sure about the internationals but again,  is anyone in Australia the least bit concerned that it might be locals only?  As much as I like the Internationals competing,  we'd just be going back to the way it was (still as popular too)

I see Queensland racing put a stop to their winter carnival stakes races a month back then changed their mind a week later.  So the show goes on.

Speaking of the racing calendar,  Morphettville,  Gold Coast,  Doomben & Eagle Farm take over for the next 2 months in terms of stakes races but the fields in Melb & Syd could remain quite strong as well.  The owners need to keep racing their horses for the prizemoney (just in case it all comes to a halt)

Next week we've got the G2 Hollindale Stakes  from the Gold Coast as well as 2 x G1's from Morphettville (Sangster Stakes & Australasian Oaks)

Ancestry has come into $2 for the place but I reckon it's a very good chance to win ... so much so that I'm on the horse @ 8.50 (Wed early odds) Likes the wet too.

And James Jordan has picked Garner & Away Game.  The latter choice will almost certainly lead and you can just see the horse scooting away on the turn with that light weight.  Garner is a good horse.

JJ has also selected November Dreaming (R5 No.13) & Toffee Tongue (R7 No.9)  Those 4 saluting will pay very well in a multi ... worth a coffee outlay!  Expresso please!

I picked all 4 choices myself on Wed night so I'm all in on JJ's 4 selections.

Jungle Edge in the last (?) ... it's at least a place chance on an (expected) heavy track.

Good luck Wadda & Salvador!

I've got a very nice Giclee print of Dali's 'Christ of Saint John of the Cross'

Quite a striking portrayal. 

And 'Money Heist' looks very interesting DZ ... there's some more decent lockdown viewing!

There's a lot of great European Drama about ... I especially liked 'The Bridge' (Bron/Broen) A joint Swedish/Danish production.  Modern day 'Noir'

But I've come across about 20 drama series out of Europe that are worth looking at.

Laddies don't put up the races in Sha Tin until tomorrow Wadda ... and the odds aren't up until 12noon sometimes

Go to Racenet.com and then click on Sunday then Sha Tin.  Mig Energy is in Race 5 but it has drawn barrier 14.  Former Australian galloper. 

But that race is a wide open affair with any number of chances ... exotics (?)

I've done the form for Sha Tin and my best bet is R6 No.4 - Excel Delight (Moreira) ... currently $3.50 on one of the HK betting markets but bound to shorten.

The odds for all the races are tight to begin with Wadda ... better to wait around until the race you're betting on comes around.

Especially the last few races where the odds will drift quite a bit ... and what I'm talking about is not necessarily relatable to racing anywhere else.  It's just perculiar to HK racing.  I bet there every Sunday and that's the trend.

So it's best to wait and if your pick does tighten then that can be looked upon as a good thing as the market often tells the true story

I had 'Demon Rocks' picked out as well but not because of any sort of omen bet but because it looks the winner.  Currently $4 which might in fact be overs for this particular race.  Horses for courses haha

I actually meant, its a bit annoying they put the fields up so late. I was looking to do the form yesterday.

Yes i agree, Demons Rock is a good horse and it looks overs.

Patrick Payne has a few good runners at Bendigo and sister Michelle also has taken a horse she trains there as well.

There is also a Night of Thunder horse Coupe de Tonnerre in the 1st race there, looking for its first win in a maiden. 3/1

You're full of winners today Wadda.  The Sunday Specialist I'm reliably told!  Multiple nicknames never hurt anyone!

Demons Rock indeed ... that's a good start to the day and Zac is 2 from 2.

But watch for Moreira in the middle of the meeting ... races 6, 7 & 8.

Well now, that was a [censored] of a day !  But..did we see a potential Melbourne Cup winner go around at Morphettville? The run of Russian Camelot after being 3 wide at the back of the field the entire trip, produced a withering run for the final 200m over 2500m at only its 5th start, with what was not really an ideal preparation. He just lawn mowered, the (unbeaten at Morphettville) Dalasan who hit the front, over the final 100m. Hes now pretty much equal favourite now with Master of Wine and Surprise Baby on the markets i saw for the Melbourne Cup, at around 12-15/1.

I thought a bit of rain overnight was a little bit more than was expected and perhaps didnt help the chances of some of the picks today. I must say though that the run by the 4yo mare Lakhani Rose from barrier 17 out of 16 barriers was an absolute barnstormer, just missing by a nose on the line ! At only her 10th start, just might pay to follow her. Kayla Crowther and DR Jolly had a few successful combinations on the day and seem to be a good team.

Cant really shed any light on Ballarat meeting tomorrow, and wont be leaving the house to look over the fence either ! Frighteningly cold here and weve had a fair bit of rain. The rain guage overflowed last week and i havent ventured out the back paddock to reset it yet.

Dont forget the PICK 7 is on again for the meeting. A free shot at 20K. I think the winning punter today only had 3 or 4 wins and a few placings, so you never know !

Had a similar day on Saturday Wadda but backed a few winners today to make up for it. 

And I'm with you with regards to Russian Camelot ... looks a real good stayer in the making.  If not already.

There were a number of impressive winners at Caulfield on Saturday ... had backed a few of them previously and probably should have stuck with them.  News Girl,  Shot of Irish & Oasis Girl especially!

But I was on So Si Bon at least ... oh the irony!

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes.

    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

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.
