Got a strong tip at Echuca Race 2 #14 - Sweet Home Alabama.. It's short enough $2.50 but thought I'd pass on

Just pipped!

 

Tavidance was tardy out of the stalls which put paid to its chances

But I got the exacta in the race ... got into the habit of putting our best bets into an exotic as another means of getting a collect

If the each-way or value pick wins the exacta usually pays well (as long as one has the 2nd place getter included!)

Now for the Cup.  A number of eyes will be on Tiger Moth from the wide barrier but I reckon it will settle back and attempt to come all the way around the field (Cross Counter style)

Yeah Macca I’m the same, I had outrageous in that race at $9 so I was stoked and I got the early quaddie, with a Small %, sin to win and the place of Grinzinger Lord on top of 3 bet returns means I’m in a good spot already today. 
 

Good luck in the cup

As for the Cup,  my roughie is 'Twilight Payment' but there are any number of good chances that can win or get into the finish

Twilight is a roughie a lot like

 

Ended up getting the exacta which turned out alright. 

Twilight Payment led from start to finish and a worthy winner.  Tiger Moth was brave in defeat

Did you have it included in anything Gorg?

Nah, stuffed up and went master of reality instead of Twighlight in my quaddie... could kick myself.

Ah well ... you'll probably do well with the Oaks on Thursday.  I'll post up a bit of a preview later on. 

Real shame about Anthony Van Dyck and that's the other side of the sport we love. 

 

Interesting couple of races to finish things off ... swoopers might prevail in both races

#6 in the last for me.

I was on Exhilarates as well ... thought The Astrologist was going to go past it but the horse fought on very well.  Great ride by McEvoy

A good way to end the day ... in front by a good margin!

Now for the Oaks!

Edited by Macca

Here's the Field & Form for the VRC Oaks

But tomorrow the Kyneton Cup is to be held.  First run in 1873!  We love havin' a bet in Oz don't we! Looks a good betting race after looking at the Form - one for the exotics

Field & Form Kyneton Cup ... Wednesday 4/11 @ 4.40pm

 

As for the Oaks,  Montefilia should at least get into the finish as the filly is a class act but the race is over 2500m and there have been many upset winners over the years

Star of Eden,  Vilanculos & Salto Angel offer up some real value if one is playing the exotics

Half a head mate. Was listening and seems it was quite close!

I was going to put money on Humidor in Tokyo but with all the problems I didn’t and it saluted. No idea on odds tho

Curious... I've got a 3 leg horse multi as below:

Bivouac -

Red chase -  

Viduka - Race 5 morphetville which was abandoned I assumed bet would be void and bet would be paid put on the other 2 runners. Should running those remaining races on Monday carry my bet over ? It says pending for that leg. I put that bet on under the view it would be run today, what if it pours rain between now and Monday & the track goes to good to heavy ? Unless with the issues today they haven't got around to voiding that bet yet

Oh really?

When did Humidor race,  today?

I loaded up on Arcadia Queen with bonus bets but should have backed Bivouac as well. 

The double was there obviously ... the 2 best horses at the top of their game.

About to watch the replays but both sounded like they were ultra-impressive winning in style

You make a very good point JV

I'd be making a phone call

Yeah however it's only a small outlay & the pay out is $160 in difference so I guess to let it ride on a $2 fav to get the 3rd leg but still if I have $50 rather than $5 you'd be asking questions... I thought no point trying tonight with all the issues they had today

Yep, today.

I did the double of Biv and AQ so that was a nice collect, otherwise 5 bonus bets and a couple of places for me so all even for the day.

Morvada fought back well but the winner too good ... annoying when you get beaten by a horse that you've previously backed that has won (Sansom)

Does your head in!

Still, marginally in front today so will have a dash at the Breeders Cup meeting (Keeneland) in the early hours.  There's some real value about ... 9 x G1 Races!

For those who are interested the full form guide (and tips) for the Breeders Cup can be found at www.racingpost.com

Most of the betting agencies here are covering the Keeneland races

I'll be up having a couple of beers so lead me to some winners Macca! Betting on harness & dogs not getting me anywhere ?

 

Edit: unless I'm having breakfast beers maybe not!!!

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
