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)

Yeah it could have gone either way.

I stated it yesterday and I’ll state it again. 
I hate MV.

Had a dirty day myself ... I reckon it's a track for the exotics.  There are too many variables to find winners consistently.  On-pacers often get into the finish

Anamoe wins and I break even for the day so I was barracking for the protest to be upheld even though I thought it should have been dismissed!! haha

Anyway, we move onto Derby Day ... Forgot You & Gunstock equal favourites at 5-2 and then it's 10-1 (or better) the field

Big day Saturday - Derby Day!  Good fields and good value all over.  Back on the exotics for me!

Up in Sydney we've got 4 big stakes races as well (including the $7.5Million Golden Eagle)

Well we all bombed out today, how we can make a comeback Tuesday?

It was a great days racing. I do love Derby day, some great races here and in Sydney. 
Was on I’m thunderstruck and then with a bonus when at $20 threw it on Count De Rupee just prior to the race starting, and I’ve never regretted not doing a quinella more in my life. 😂

Yeah Derby day is awesome for racing Gorg…value galore. Finished a little down but I’m still coming to terms with Icebath just losing. Pretty much everything was hinged on the horse….would’ve won a fair bit but that’s the game.

Same sort of thing with me ... had 'I'm Thunderstruck' & 'Hitotsu' in a number of doubles and a couple of trebles but none saluted ... got the 2 winners straight out but could have been a bumper day.  As you said, that's racing!

On to the Cup we go!  Wide exotic for me in the race but 'Incentivise' is going to be hard to beat

If anything stands out on the day maybe we can post them here Macca, doesn’t have to be a BB..could be multiple runners we like on the day. I managed to just grab a couple of tickets to the Cup….looking forward to sitting back with a couple of beers on a nice day.

Enjoy! 

Already picked out my bets for the day but the Cup seems more straightforward with a number of horses that could be ruled out from getting into the finish

But who knows?  A lightweight bolter might get up!  I'll definitely be including Great House & Floating Artist in my exotic bets

Noticed that 'Water Bomber' has firmed into 5.50 from 8.50 (Maribyrnong Plate R1 No.10)

On debut and trained by Mick Price ... might end up starting favourite

Reckon 'Exelman' (R3) and 'Pandemic' (JMac R10) could both run well


Not one to bet on names but Race two (6) Team captain into Race 3 (9) Address Melbourne sound like an Omen to me. Maybe all up on Magic Max in Race 6. And i have left out Best Of Days in race 4

Ha ha nice one. I was on team captain. If I had seen this earlier I would have done this as a multi.

Verry Elleegant went into a F4 last minute ... salutes and a reasonable percentage of a F4 as a result.  Happy Days!!

Couldn't believe how far it drifted in the betting, all things considered (especially with J-Mac on board)

A great win by the mighty mare ... 10 x G1's now

Well done. I looked at it, but went grand promenade instead. Thems the breaks.

Been a lean time of late Gorg but more than made up for it with that collect!

Too good a horse to ignore especially when it drifted to 22-1 (and I very nearly ignored it)

The classiest horse with by far the best previous form ended up winning the race ... won't be getting tired of watching that replay in a hurry!

Red & Blue colours with a jockey named James McDonald on board.  Who knew?

Hopefully my little bit of luck rubs off here!!

Good work Macca, awesome win by a wonderful racehorse. Just got home from Flem…warm one out there.
I placed a bet a couple of months ago on Verry Elleegant to win 3 Group 1s this spring at $67. Any chance they can run her in one more G1 this spring to get to 3 wins lol. Ended up throwing a little saver on her at $22…main bet was Spanish Mission each way. Did ok out of the Cup but no luck in the previous races.

Doubt they'd run VE in the McKinnon Stakes DZ but if they did, it would probably win!

The Kingston Town Classic at Ascot?  haha

She might end up with quite a CV though ... the 6yo Mare will have another 3 x Autumn's & 2 x Spring's before it becomes a 9 year old.

Incentivise is only a 5yo so we'll see that horse for at least a few more years as well

And Zaaki is a 7yo with a bit left in the tank.  Both Incentivise & Zaaki are geldings so they'll be racing on you'd imagine

Facing the breeze along the river side told in the end for Incentivise.  Along with the 2 miles & 57kgs.  In the Caulfield Cup it had cover.  Brave effort nonetheless

But Verry Elleegant is the Champion!

Yeah I’d say spell for sure now. Had my chance in the Turnbull and Cox with VE…wasn’t a bad bet I thought as a long range one.  Was just looking at the finishing order and it showed the lack of quality outside the top 3 really. It pays 160k down to 12th and Miami Bound (12th) finished 22.45 lengths off VE. She’s Ideel 10th and 19 lengths behind. Still, I wouldn’t complain picking up 160k, covers the bills for at least 4 years.

Very true with regards to the strength of the field ... a throw-back to days gone-by before the flood of overseas entrants

And with the (now) stringent testing for overseas horses, we could expect more of the same

But I found the race to be a lot easier to decipher with regards to form.  The top 4 in the weights stood out as the best runners whilst the rest (apart from Floating Artist) were making up the numbers (as it turned out) 5th place was 10 lengths off the winner! 

Not forgetting that Chris Waller & J-Mac have won their first Melbourne Cup

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
