    Yeah its a dangerous ploy, but i still like it. At the end of the day you have to bet on something.

    Good luck Wadda. I've got Ace High/Addictive Nature for first and second, field for third in the tri.

    Great. Whats your final Tri combo Macca....? If Ace wins, it will be the first High Chaparral to win over 1200. Would be awesome.

    Should be a good race Wadda, a first time for everything.

    My sis visiting with her kids saved me a trip to Casey. I can enjoy the rest of the days racing.

    Addictive Nature held up at a vital stage and Ace High finished off well I thought behind the speedsters.

    Thats what sisters are for. Ace High would have brained them if there was another 100m.

    Yeah as soon as Ace High was at the tail of the field you knew it probably couldn't win - 'needed the run' by the looks of it.  Global Glamour was run out of a place anyway so I was way off with that trifecta. 

    Cashed out on 1 of my 2 live multi's (Eurack,  Bedford & Bye See) but it could be an even better day if 'Don't Give A Damn' salutes.

    Thanks for the heads up on 'Eurack' & 'Bye See' fellas ... reinforcing a 'best bet' seems to be a good addition to our system.

    @Wadda We Sing  ... yeah dipped out on the Tri in the Expressway.  Got one going at Ascot in the Scenic Blast Stakes (7pm)  and another in the Centenary Vase at Sha Tin tomorrow (5pm)

    It's always nice to have a 'saver' but I can see these 3 race multi's/Parlay's being reasonably profitable.  You prefer the 3 race parlay's from memory.  I got one today so it's been a decent day.  And it isn't over yet!

    Don't Give A Damn is into 2.40

    All the way win, I thought it was paddling there for a while but nothing was gaining ground.

    Dainty Tess is needed to salute for my parlay and i also have no.2,4/2,4/F in a tri in the Scenic.

    Well both @Demon77 and myself like Dainty Tess to win (best of luck with that multi D77) but I also like 'Volkoff' at odds to feature.  You could work a Tri from that Wadda but don't forget to include 'Caipirinha' ...  Ascot Race 6

    Yeah I've had a decent day - hopefully you and Wadda can both win late.   Don't Give A Damn could now well be set for the Doncaster Hcp ($3Million)  ... it kicked away in impressive fashion at the top of the straight.

    Lol, It's a small tri, Macca mentioned it in an earlier post and he's been very close to the mark with horses at double figure odds.. Just looking for some value in the top 2.

     Cheers Macca, I could have collected already if I'd thrown Bye See in instead of Dainty Tess. I went with Eurack, Don't Give A Damn, Dainty Tess combo.

    Either way, it hasn't been too expensive and it's great that some of us have profited out of this.

    Thats a good combination. So did you put that on as a multi over the different tracks i guess. So those bets are $5 min...? Its a good way to bet in that case, i have done this also last Spring, so ill have a look at that next time.

    All good Wadda, I've had a couple of drinks and the question sounded funny to me(in a good way), didn't mean to sound abrupt. 

    Race is on soon, good luck with your tri. Yeah i placed the bet at the Tab just before you nominated Bedford as your best, could have cleaned up today.

    Yes the min bet is $5 at the Tab.

    With multi's at the TAB we haven't got the option of 'Each-Way' so you have to painstakingly put separate bets on - or,  ring them and ask them to put all the configurations on. 

    I've arrived at doing it a different way - I'm banking on getting 2 from 3 winners or 3 from 4 winners so will do a series of separate bets for the win only.

    e.g.  we arrive at 3 best bets over the course of the week.  I will then put all 3 on for the win in a multi and any 2 of the 3 for the win only as well (a double)

    If we end up with 4 picks or if I want to add another to the 3 I will repeat the same process but have 'saver' bets on 3 of the 4. 

    In a nutshell we identified 6 best bets today (in a roundabout way)  ... Eurack (W)  Snitty Kitty (2nd) Bedford (W) Bye See (W) Don't Give A Damn (W) and Dainty Tess (yet to run)  All 6 were 'reinforced by at least one of us other than the person who originally identified the best bet.  

    I'm not going to count 'From Within' in the 1st at Rosehill as I thought it was only each way value.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
