A Day at the Races

[Gorgoroth 12,947]

If you have a bet return by the last I would recommend Legend of Zorro. $14

ivw been on it multiple times. Can measure up if on song and worth a bonus imo.

[Macca 16,963]

... and I don't mind Excelida in the Black Pearl St (R8 No.7)

Good each way odds shortening from 15-1 into 12-1 ... drops 2.5kgs from its last start win at HQ

Moonee Valley (Friday) Fields, Form & Odds

Moonee Valley (Saturday) Fields, Form & Odds

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

Well done Gorg!

I got on and a good way to end the day ... the horse fought well to the line.  Tough win!

Nice! I was on it and Rainbeil at $7, both came in hard prior to the jump.

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

Yeah I already have a quinella with Lombardo and Sav.

I’ll look at the others.

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

This meeting last year they were on and got on the plonk!  A little unhinged as a consequence!!

[Gorgoroth 12,947]

[censored] me, I hate MV.

[Macca 16,963]

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)

[Gorgoroth 12,947]

Been out all day, did not know the news of Zaaki. Did Sportsbet pay out on it the other day?

[Macca 16,963]

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

[Macca 16,963]

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)
