Not my best bet but I reckon 'The Wizard King' (Race 1 No.8 Flemington - Saturday) is way over the odds at 66-1.  Seems like the wrong price was put up ... opened at 90-1

Won its trial convincingly beating Cannonball by 5 lengths (Cannonball is 16-1 in R1 as well)

I'm already on each-way but I'll be checking the fluctuations!!!

Thanks for the heads up, used a bonus bet on the nose and a place amount. I mean at $15 for the place it’s crazy.

Ha ha!

They're all unraced so it's a shot in the dark, Gorg

The Wizard King has come into 30-1 (7.00 the place)

That’s what we were saying at work. 2yr olds so anything could happen once they get to the course let alone to the mounting yard and the gate.

2/3 parlay might be the go or even a win /place multi of sorts

You'd imagine that all 3 can at least get into the finish

Cheers Macca, love me some Gus.

Wanted to throw a couple of BBs in the last few weeks but thought I’d wait until GF glory. 
I’ve picked a tough race, I just think the mare was very unlucky in the Autumn and she’s come back well this spring. She represents terrific value I feel.

Good luck to the Premiership edition of BBs this weekend.

Same but not regularly (The Cigar) ... however, the cheese platter & pinot is in full operation watching the Valley races

And just in case others aren't aware, Ch7 are covering all the races on Saturday's from Melb & Syd for the whole year ... plus the SA & QLD carnivals.  Great news!

I normally have 10-15 cigars in the house of various sizes but don’t smoke that much, more over spring/summer when sittin out the back paddock with the fire pit going.

To me the cigar goes with celebration ... so this flag we won means a lot of cigar smoking!!  haha (not really)

Got Rhinoceros up early tonight so a good start ... exactas for the rest of night

[Macca 16,963]

Well the money came for 'The Wizard King' but no good!  That's racing!

Yeah 2yr olds, they all ran like they were drunk at times. Looked good for a place til the last 100

[Gorgoroth 12,947]

Close finish. Just couldn’t hold on.

[Gorgoroth 12,947]

I thought Shared Ambition had the win til the last 50. A nostril in it. Great run but just a smidgen short.

[Gorgoroth 12,947]

Gee I can’t buy a bloody win today.

Finally on the board with the exacta in the Epsom and the Bart Cummings (thanks to Gator)

Could do with a Demon last quarter onslaught!
