It’s the same trainer as his sons horse and he said they are feeling good about it’s prep.

I've had a quinella in the race including Samadoubt 

Gator's tips are up on Racing.com (and Sportsbet) ... he got 3 winners last week and they all shortened quite a bit in the lead up

I like quite a few tomorrow but they are all very short ... so have taken a few doubles & trebles with some bonus bets I need to use up

    good luck today @Macca

    Im on a few but not as full on as normal. 

    Was flat-chat at work again today ... how did you go?

    I was on Anamoe so started really well ... got a few decent quinellas (including R6 Randwick) throughout the day so ended up in front

    Could have been a bumper day ... was on Bivouac & Personal with bonus bets and just missed the quinellas in the Newmarket & Australian Cup (I had Zoutori & Holmsman included) ... excellent dividends though

    And as is often the case a number of the short priced favourites at Flemington & Randwick failed to salute.  I often wonder why they attract so much money

    Yeah that run it didn’t look right. Will be interesting to see what is said.

    Lightsaber looks good, just kept the distance and when they went harder it did. Wonder what the connections will aim it at.

    Wiped my face. Did well early, poor late. Got close to a first 4 but no good on any quinellas etc. still a good day when you end as you started and are ready for next week.

    Well done on the profit. Always good to see.

    The Black Opal Stakes is on at Canberra today - as well as a couple of other listed feature sprint races (race 5 & race 6)

    A number of the horses today are still to qualify for the Slipper so horses like 'Construct' would need to win the Black Opal you'd reckon.  J-Mac & Bowman are riding a couple of likely candidates as well (Kalashnikov & Bourban Flyer)

     

    Canberra

     

    And tomorrow the Adelaide Cup will be held at Morphettville (Along with the CS Hayes Cup & Morphettville Guineas) Canberra races again on Monday with the $250k Canberra Cup being held (The listed Canberra Guineas is race 6)

     

    Morphettville

     

    And when in Rome do as the Romans do ... just a few 'quinellas' only at Sha Tin today (and there's some value about as well)

    Here's a few links that can help if you're playing (the first link which provides the video preview of each race is very good)

    All star mile should be between Arcadia Queen and Probabeel but then Behemoth, Russian and Sir Dragonet will all be in the mix and how will Luna Fox back up? I’m at a wedding but hope to sneak this race in.

    I'm taking out an exotic in the race (probably a trifecta) ... can't help but think that Behemoth will get into the finish but can he beat home the Queen, Russian or Probabeel

    Shout the Bar has drawn a good barrier considering it will assume the front position (Gai's horses usually follow that pattern) 

    And the on pace runners can kick away in that short straight

    There's a few other chances too but the top 3 in the betting will be hard to displace

    I agree. Behemoth will be in my tri. Can’t see AQ or prob out of the top 4, but wouldnt be surprised if one finishes fourth

    I heard they (vet) are looking at Arcadia Queen, guy said it might get scratched. No idea how true but if it does and you wanted to back Probabeel it will come right in.

    Out to 4.60 now is AQ but Bob Peters was quoted as not being too concerned about the mares fitness

    Bob is probably pulling a few strings as we speak ... fairly influential figure is Bob!

    Trainer (Grant Williams) reckons the horse could have passed the Vet check this morning but the vets wanted to be absolutely sure

    All the same, I'll be putting my trifecta on as late as possible!

    Ha ha!

    I've got a 10-12 hour work day ahead of me so will be doing audio only

    But I'm a huge fan of sport on the radio ... especially the horses,  footy,  test cricket & the NFL. 

    Replays of the racing of course ... I watch a lot of replays!! haha

    As for the ASM,  Probabeel is the horse in top form and will be hard to beat but there's plenty of value runners for the exotics

    Bob Peters not happy!

    Apparently the horse has a different gait to the last time it was inspected (a year ago)

    Stewards can be over officious but what they say goes.  You'd be filthy if you had a share in the horse

    If it pours down then Sir Dragonet comes right into it ... supposed to rain from 10.00am until 2.00pm.  Paying $15 right now for the speculators!

    The All- Star Mile was a cracking race I thought fellas, the roar was unbelievable for only 9,000 people there. Nothing beats crowds in sports.

    Terrible day but I had Krone into Profiteer for the Slipper.

    Not clever enought to take the 15s on offer for Krone.

    My mate owns a small bit of Profiteer .

    Next week will be big for me if it gets up.

    Might buy myself a new domestic slave.

    The current one is getting uppity.

    Mugatoo a deserved winner of the All Star Mile ... held up for a fair while but once the gap appeared the horse had the best acceleration.  Russian Camelot showed its class & Behemoth was dogged to the end

    Trifecta paid very well ($445) when considering the real class of the first 3 across the line

    Managed to get the exacta a couple of times but if anyone had followed up on Lunar Fox (as we should have?) then a dividend of $8508 for the F4 was to be had.

    Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing!!

     

    n.b.  I'll post up some replays later when they're available

    ADATR blackbooker 'Hang Man' is running in the $125k Yarra Valley Cup (R6) tomorrow ... paying 4.50 for the win but it is up against the even money favourite in 'Skyman' 

    But any of the top 6 in the betting can win so the exotics might be the go

    Didnt see the race, but I had 2-4th in my first 4. Probabeel was the one I missed. What happened to Probabeel?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
