Open minded salutes, I’m well deep into the beers and whisky, really wish I’d seen the $8 opening price.

    Open Minded drifted to 4.50 in the end and looked the winner a fair way from home

    I was on Madam Superior with Ollie on board and it looked good for a while

    OM too good though

    Got it at $4.20. I5s a good horse. Think it has more potential.

    Need a clear head tomorrow so just the 2 glasses of Pinot here! However,  good wine doesn't give you a headache so 2 more on the cards whilst watching '3 wide no cover' (on now) 

    Got the quinella in the Snoano race so 2 good collects and double winnings on 'The Regiment' ... decent night as it turned out

    I’m four craft beers and a few whiskeys deep so I’ll stay off the punt when in such a state. But open minded  I’ve been on for a while so watched its market. Will be sober enough by race one tomorrow ?

    I wouldn't be too concerned Gorg ... I always feel very lucky when a multi salutes (they are hard to get) I had Defiant in a quinella but didn't have the 2nd horse anyway

    We've still got 3 live chances and if picking winners was easy,  we'd be sqillionaires!

    Got 'Leo',  Four Moves Ahead & Fabergino up so another good start ... just need to finish off well (like the Demons yesterday!)

     

    Edit:  Criaderas gets up for 2nd but got going too late by the sounds of it

    Had Leo, missed on Mallory and just missed on Indian pacific. 
     

    Got Buffalo River in the next, couldn’t look past it.

    Tough Miss on Cric but strong run by the winner.

    Buff went hard really early. Just held on for third. 
    Thought they went too early and too hard.

    Looked that way and it's a long straight.  Jamie nearly always rates them well in the lead too

    Who knows?  ... the horse just took off and when that happens the jockey either restrains them (which can backfire) or goes with it

    At Caulfield & Moonee Valley it wins

    Didn't see that coming!  250-1 fixed odds

    Form was recently quite woeful although it did win the Sires Produce this time last year

    As it turns out the horse (Buffalo River) apparently does have a habit of taking off like that (according to a few of the pundits) Can't say I've seen it before but it is a frontrunner

    And it's not like Jamie Kah to ride like that anyway ... in fact, she rates them in front better than any other jockey I've seen (in recent times)

    You just don't expect that sort of thing to happen but it does happen from time to time

    e.g. Twilight Payment took off at the 4 furlong mark in the cup but still managed to hold on

    I'd be getting on Buffalo again but maybe not at Flemington! ?

    It was more how hard it seem to go, but as you said sometimes reining them in is just as counter productive

    Guy at work had the tip that this would do very well. He didn’t pass tge into along nor back it.

    Said they have been trying new tactics with it and it responded well.

    We are all unhappy with him today. ?

    The All Star Mile final field has been decided

    It's a crack field but would have liked to see Verry Elleegant,  Colette,  Kolding & Avilius included but with 2 Autumn carnivals running side by side,  we don't get to see the very best all racing against each other. 

    Still, there's at least 9 winning chances for the Moonee Valley version of the event (to be run on the 13th March)

    And if Streets of Avalon can get to the lead and put the brakes on,  it can get into the finish

    Promises to be a terrific race, all the same

    Super Saturday coming up at Flemington on the weekend and a super days racing coming up at Randwick as well.  Group & Listed races aplenty along with 4 big Group 1 events. 

    I'm mainly playing the exotics and even the quinella's could pay well with such depth to the racing.  Quite tricky coming up with a best bet or 2 as well.  So far, nothing is jumping out at me

    Value Bet (Randwick Saturday)

    Race 7 No.3 North Pacific 9.00/2.50

    More so the exotics and place multi,  I'm confident the horse can get into the finish and 3rd up has been primed for this race

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
