A Day at the Races

Still a heavy 8 at the min for Rosehill.

Was hoping it had firmed a bit.

Race 5, #7 Butter chicken $5 with ms Kah on it. Going up distance but last run showed it had more distance in it.

Our 4 picks are paying about 12-1 for the place multi so that's worth a small wager

Ha ha!

They could have told us that on Thursday morning! 

There's always another race Gorg but North Pacific now has 1 less horse to get past (it gets back but J-Mac is on board

With the heavy track I see a few have been scratched across the day

Nice!!!

ive got a heap of bonus bets and a heap of seconds ?

No winners yet. But I haven’t given up hope yet!

[Gorgoroth 12,942]

And another 2nd... ?
 

Once again at the 100 I thought it holds on but by the 50 I knew it was cooked...

pun intended ?

Bad luck Gorg

At least the place multi is still alive with my 2 choices (Anamoe & North Pacific) to come

Yup, hoping for some wins on those. Would be good. 
But we have these days, I’ve been on a good trot last few weeks. Hoping for a strong finish.

[Gorgoroth 12,942]

Anamoe just got 3rd. By a mm

[Gorgoroth 12,942]

Well all our selections placed. Can’t complain about that

[Gorgoroth 12,942]

Finally got a winner with Portland sky, another step and it’s not a dead heat, what a race tho. The other horse I thought got past Portland sky.

Yeah nice 3 figure collect for the 4pick place card.  The each-way value pays off again

Only need 1 out of 6 or 7 to win to break even plus it's money back fpr 2nd or 3rd at Sportsbet plus the place multi is an option again

Bonus bucks late (gotta love that)

[Gorgoroth 12,942]

Took Starlangled rodeo in the last, so ended up after being skint all day! Also had a bonus bet on Maui Girl in second... didn’t exacta/quinella them... ?

Good get on Rodeo Gorg ... I just missed the exacta on that race but had a more than decent day overall

Got some bonus bets to use up plus some extra expendable from today so Sha Tin here we come!  Moreira is back from suspension so I'll be following him plus Zac probably has some good mounts

Good luck at Sha Tin!

Sat out in the back paddock last night enjoying a beer and a cigar, decided to throw down on the last two at Ascot, Got a winner in the 8th with last of the line. So ended up on a good day.

Just saw Sha Tin today is run 2nd and 3rd and bonus bet. So might join in the fun later this arvo.

The above post I've quoted might help Gorg.  I'm turning over some bonus bets and cash today so it's mainly quinellas at Sha Tin

I don't expect to win a lot but am aiming at a moderate profit (although there is a bit of value about today)

Moreira has an excellent book of rides for the win punters whilst Zac Purton also has 4 or 5 winning chances with some value runners in a few races

Needless to say those 2 jockeys will feature heavily in my bets ?

That Trent knows his quinellas going by that list.
