Hasta ran ok for 3rd in the Geelong Cup ... slick time for the race though.  Tralee might go alright in the Cup.  Hit the line well

At $160k for 12th it's well worth just getting a runner in the big race.  Anyway, the connections picked up a cool $240k for winning the Geelong Cup

Manikato stakes tomorrow, I can’t go past Lombardo. 
 

Who do you guys like?

I agree on Lombardo ... a horse on it's way up.  Quinella with Savatoxl?

On RSN this morning the track watcher mentioned Rambeau ($26) as one that impressed (Friday Moonee Valley) Race 1 No.4

Gator's 2/3 Parlay involves 3 races at Randwick (Saturday)

R6 No.9 Ma and Pa

R9 No.6 Entriviere

R10 No.9 Gravina

About 45-1 for the 3

Gator, Mick Sharkie & Gareth Hall on RSN Spring Carnival radio tonight from 5pm (Valley races)

Jonker was $10 yesterday ... looked the winner a long way from home but Bella nearly pinched the win

Savatoxl & Lombardo just couldn't keep up ... old boy Streets ran on well

I have Bella in my F4, I tossed up between Joneker and Sneaky 5, not that it mattered as Lombardo and Sav got nowhere near it.

In those sprints at the Valley if a horse can win the start, hold it's ground and then kick, it often wins (gotta be a good horse to start with though)

Jonker has now won $2.1Million and it's run some very quick times over the journey.  I had it included in a trifecta but didn't have Bella

That's racing (at the Valley!)

Zaaki out of the Cox Plate ... elevated temperature

Wow, big news Macca…huge blow for connections.

Buffalo River’s scratching in the Crystal Mile leaves Elephant very short now. Would have loved to hear Matt Hill get creative calling Elephant, Buffalo and Rhinoceros over the line as the first 3.

10's of $Millions lost on Zaaki in the all-ins (doubles on the big races as well)

I find it a little questionable for it to happen on the day (and I'm not talking through my hip pocket)

Busy day myself but managed to listen in on all the drama surrounding the protest in the Cox Plate

Re the protest in the Cox Plate

Protest being dismissed was the right decision but the interference did stop Anamoe's run to a degree. I just don't believe the interference was all that severe

We see a lot of brushing and slight bumps and to me that's just part of racing

Upholding the protest would have suited me as I had Anamoe going in a few bets (including a decent win bet)

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
