Me too, unfortunately the only on I have left is our one with all too place. I stuffed up and did place on all instead of each way. But that’s ok, did another with all wins it age came second. Reckon a drier track and age beats it. 

And Blazing Miss loomed large and then dropped away - couldn't get through the heavy ground (and it was a very heavy track at Randwick in the end)  You're in the lap of the gods once the conditions deteriorate like they did.

The ADATR place multi didn't quite work out but I got a few winners and the trifecta in the Cox Plate so a decent day

    Yeah Blazing looked good but there was the part when it straightened and the mud flicking off was incredible.

     

    Gratz on the trifecta! Had a winner and 4 bonus bets come my way, had yes baby yes and the fav in a trifecta but unfortunately the third horse didn’t go my way.

    hoping for a better night on the GF.

    I had a win bet on Armory but when the rain came Sir Dragonet came right into it because of its form on slow tracks.  I had it on top in the end so just needed the right combo with the others.  Arcadia Queen unlucky by all accounts ... nearly got knocked over early but still came 5th

    Got the tri in the Manikato Stakes last night as well ... the speed maps gave Hey Doc an ideal run in the race and that's how it turned out

    Got lucky but you need luck in this game Gorg.

    Good luck with your multi's tonight ... I'm doing the form at Saint-Cloud (Fr) tonight!

    Good choice. It’s $10 on Sportsbet so not sure where the $12 is but that’s even better value.

    It’s a good field, hoping for a good Derby day. Hope the rain isn’t too heavy and the track stays a good.

    $9.50 up to $12 booster odds with Ladbrokes Gorg

    I'm always on the lookout for horses that run recent good times and 'Rock' falls into that category. 

    Should get into the finish as it is well weighted and has drawn nicely.  Might need a gap or 2 in the straight but Michael Poy is a good jockey. 

    $3.10 the place suits the multi punters as well

    Yeah I always look at the place returns too. And they are good.

    You've got to get in early to get the odds sometimes

    I had 'Nimalee' (Rosehill R6 No.10) picked out for a win bet but it's gone from $12 (boosted) yesterday into $4.80 today!

    And then I noticed that Gator had picked it out as well.  Ugh!

    Agree but my prob is that if I go early I then change my mind 599 times

    Place multi still alive ... didn't see the race but 2nd in that field is a grand effort

    And now Johnny Get Angry wins the Derby ... trained by none other than Denis Pagan.  Can you believe it?

    Well done!

    No such luck my way but I've had a decent day so far so can't complain

    That extra 500m was the difference by the sounds of it and will they run it in the Cup?

    Pagan can expect a number of offers from horse owners from here on in though,  all the same.  Picks up a cool $120k as the trainer of the horse.  Nice work if you can get it!

    I was on it last start and it got a horrid start out of the stalls and made up massive ground to the point I reckon it places easily but tbh if it wasn’t for my mate banging on about it for weeks I wouldn’t have got on it.

    Rock 3rd so we are still alive in the multi! @Macca

    @JV7

    I got the early double Gorg (place) ... odds were about 10-1 so definitely worth the gamble

    North Afrika salutes and it's party time (with masks adorned of course!)

    Collette wins the Golden Eagle!  I was on the wrong Godolphin runner (Flit)

    Surprise baby with Barrier 7 sits very well. Some of the others drew worse barriers.

    After getting a nice return on Ashrun today I might put a few on that, but a Surprise baby is who I’m on.

    • 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.
