12 legs! 

Did you win enough to purchase the MFC Gorg?

We need someone of good standing to get in there and clean the joint out.  Drain the swamp or whatever!

Not sure I fit the category as “good standing” ha ha

I had a couple of SGM's on for the Port vs North game too and both fell over by one leg!

Higgins +20 touches, ended on 19 and Duursma +15 touches, ended on 14.

I swear my SGM's are cursed, I'm the master of falling over by one leg!!

Yeah I needed Houston and Amon to have a good second Half, Houston got his 15th late in the last and 4 that I had for 15 ended on 15 or 16. 
I missed one earlier this year, 13 legs, last leg was Hill for 15, 12 at 3/4 time vs the crows and got 0 in the last. Killed me.

    Sunshine Coast Race 2 Number 1 ( in 30 mins) Maybach was previously trained by Waterhouse and best mate had a share in it up in Sydney. Sold it up North and haven’t been following it since it went up there, just noticed it was running. Not sure anyone would want to take the short odds though. It’s one tough horse and can stay all day.

    Italian GP qualifying is also on right now if that's your scene.

    I've got a few quid on Aussie Dan to make it through to Q3.

    I will have a look at Monza tonight Rollin, i see Dan is 7th on the grid. He was storming home last week eating up about 12 seconds in 3 laps, but the commentators seemed to miss it? Not sure why he didnt do that earlier, my only guess is tyre wear......

    I was on Miss Guggenheim as well JV.  Well done again for the tip ...  Damien Oliver is the one.  Boots 'em home

    Nice way to start the day!

    (I might add that I picked up 3 decent collects at Haydock last night so I'm on a roll this weekend)

    Haven't got any standouts at Sha Tin today other than to recommend that it's best to look for a bit of value. 

    First race meeting back after 2 months so the formline is scratchy.  Maybe a medium wide quaddie but don't forget to include the Purton & Moreira mounts.

    Your multis are amazing Gorgo....do you give classes? :)

    I like to take a few horses into a few Afl/Nrl games over a couple of days usually, so theyre slow burners but do ok sometimes. I find about 6 legs is the max for me. Had some good returns, but not consistent enough.

    Ha ha, they are very hot or miss, mainly miss. NFL time I usually look at one multi of 8-10 games and then one of all games. Much harder.

    Ollie couldn't get Cetshwayo out in the 4th race at Geelong ... ended up starting favourite too so was a moral beaten.

    But you win some you lose some.  We race tight in Oz so the gaps often just don't appear

    That's racing.

    Such a good jockey is Oliver ... didn't ride a winner yesterday but making up for it today.

    3 winners already today after getting Carrie over the line in the 6th race.  Got it in a couple of multi's.

    Oh so its not just me then....thats good.. :)

    Feel free to post up any good multis. I love them.

    We started another thread called Monkey Business a while back, to chat about punting on all other sports apart from racing. But its just as easy to post stuff here i guess?

    There's always one!  I've gone away from the exotics a bit for that reason RF. 

    Same principle applies to the bigger multi's.  2 legs does me these days with the occasional 3 or 4 leg multi. 

    Big odds at 200-1 was I'll Be Gone ... just got pipped too.  You often wonder how a horse can be that much of a long shot.  It's form wasn't all that bad (all things considered)

    No no no Wadda! ?

    This is a thread for the thoroughbreds

    The last thing we need are people complaining about missing out on their sporting multi's by one leg.

    Now and again is ok as there is always some natural crossover but we don't want to turn the thread into a pure gambling thread.

    The Monkey Business thread exists for a reason.

    I should have passed on my Sha Tin tips ... 2 winners and a double already. 

    But you know what,  I pass them on and they then lose.  That's how it works. 

    Think I'll stick to the one Saturday tip and maybe one other on another day.

    Maybe obvious here but the wraps on the thing that won the last at GEELONG today are huge.

    It was texted to anyone that ever punted  before the Maiden win at Sale and got smashed into evens.

    Won today at 1.45-1 like a Champion in the making.

    You should never say anything could be the next Winx but I think it could be the next Winx.

    BAROCHA.

    Did it with ease.

    Apparently it was meant to be called Barocca but someone misspelt the name on application.

    But Barocca never worked anyway ... another great con job of the 20th century.  Hair of the dog or a greasy hamburger did the trick.

    Will watch Barocha with interest though.  Big call Biff but you never know.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
