6 races down at Sha Tin and Purton & Moreira share the spoils ... 3 winners each!

122 winners each for the season.  Zac reckons 145 will get it done.  Maybe.

Caulfield 2 week carnival moved to late November (probable)

So what lead up do we have for the Cox Plate & Flemington Carnival?

Sydney might cash in ... for instance the Metro Hcp (2400m) might be moved with a few other races to mid October.  Maybe that whole race day which is formerly held 2 weeks before the Caul Cup (?)

Maybe theyre listening to us Macca and the Cox Plate will actually be run on Xmas Day, but theyre just waiting for the right time to announce it possibly..

Nice win at Sale this morning by another Night of Thunder 1st starter Cherry Tortoni for Patrick Payne and Billy Egan who incidentally have a winning strike rate of 25% at the moment. Thats 2 in a row Night of Thunder 1st starters, taking into consideration the strong win by Winning Weather at Morphettville on Sat. These horses are starting to hit our shores, watch out for them.

Thanks for the heads up Wadda!

We might end up like Europe where it's just 1 long season (early May to late October over there ... Sept through to late June over here - including Morphettville,  Doomben & Eagle Farm)

The jumps season in Europe is effectively the forerunner (March/April soft tracks) so it's 8 months all up.  Our jumps season could fill July & August when the tracks are soft.  Just a thought.

Listening to Peter Le Grand (Chairman MRC) this arvo on SEN I got the impression that late November for the Caulfield Guineas/Cup carnival over 2 weeks might become a permanent fixture.  The Wednesday Caulfield meeting inbetween as well (?)

Add in the 3 or 4 G1 races in Perth over December along with the QLD summer carnival (which would include the Magic Millions) and then it's only a month off until the Autumn.

Trainers would adjust ... maybe the best horses would run every 4 weeks instead of the 2 week back-up. 

As a punter the mooted changes to the Caulfield fixture's has high appeal.  Group racing rivals the Demons & Test cricket these days.

As for Xmas day,  put some sport on I say!  Especially now where we've been starved of sport for 3 or 4 months. 

The MVRC might be looking at running the Manikato Stakes day the week before Cox Plate day.  And NSW racing will be eyeing off a few dates ... late Nov to match Caulfield?  Chasing the good weather makes sense for both States. 

Lets face it,  it's a fairly crammed schedule anyway when factoring in that the Turnbull Stakes Day & the Epsom Hcp/Metro Hcp are held just a week or 2 before the traditional Caulfield dates.

9 weeks of wall-to-wall Group 1 racing spread over the 2 main States instead of 6 weeks might make more appeal for the horse racing enthusiasts (with a few G1 & G2 races in September as a precurser)

Sandown having it's own date before Caulfield might lift the profile of that race day too ... of course, Sandown does come under the auspices of the MRC so there's perhaps an ulterior motive as well ?

The time honoured Stradbroke Hcp is on this Saturday ... along with the G1 JJ Atkins Plate for the 2yo's.  Apparently they might have to lift the weights in the Stradbroke as there aren't enough lightweight jockeys about up there.

Dawn Passage is now the $5 favourite and is carrying 50kgs. Looks a half-decent field though with Trekking and a few others in the betting. 

And the racing returns to the UK this weekend with 3 G1's ... Coronation Cup (Fri) 2000 Guineas (Sat) & 1000 Guineas (Sun)

Stradivarius with Frankie on board is currently $5 to win the Coronation Cup.

Yeah I've had a bit of a flutter tonight Wadda

Just a couple of one-off doubles & win bets.  As you said,  some handy types running around and the favoured runners usually find their way into the finish.  Great racing to be had.

Should we resurrect the Monkey Business thread for our best bets?  AFL & NRL back in full swing as is the EPL from Thursday onwards. Maybe get our picks in before Saturday? 

We may need a break during the winter racing as has been the tradition (apart from having an interest in UK & Irish racing festivals)

Weirdest Race coverage ive ever seen. So much silence between races....Jockeys with masks.....surely harder to breathe....anyways.

Yeah i dont mind really. You can use Ascot for a BB this week if the mood takes you. Think we could do a good multi actually. Maybe make it the last week.

Monkey Business i dont mind. Its pretty hard to figure out any form atm with results like the Meter Maids beating West Coast. See what DZ wants to do.

Frankly Darling/Mogal & Battaash my multi tonight

Good thinking Wadda

The racing on Friday night & Saturday night from Ascot is first class

A lot of familiar names with 10 Group races to choose from.   We should be able to find 3 winners amongst those events.

I was on Frankly Darling as well ... Mogal should win too.  Mogul is a full brother to 'Japan' (who races in the Prince of Wales Stakes tomorrow)

Addeybb is in the same race ... won 2 G1's in Oz in our Autumn.

Mogul presented and then didn't run on.  The winner (Pyledriver) wins at 20-1.  Carrying a bit of condition was Mogul but no excuses.

Form is tricky,  all the same.  Nearly all the horses are first up after a long break.

    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.

    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 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.
