I’m usually big on Behemoth, but laststart it didn’t look great.

I'm Thunderstruck even at 3-1 looks like good odds ... but it's Caulfield and he'll need to get past a lot of very good horses

Outside the top couple I reckon Lighthouse and Sierra Sue are in the mix, Lightsaber is a horse I’ve followed for ages and could be in the mix but I’ll want to see how the track is going.

I've been trying my hand at the same-race multi's in the off-season with mixed results ... needing better class of horses me thinks!

Usually just pick 2 horses ... One horse to win/2nd and one other 'value' runner 1st to 4th ... aiming to get about 6-1 up to 15-1 all up

So 'Sierra Sue @ 14-1,  Lighthouse @ 10-1 and Lightsaber @ 14-1 all appeal as value runners 

 

 

I'm Thunderstruck has drifted out to $7.50 (with a boost)  in the Orr Stakes

That's decent odds for a class galloper!

Lightsaber has 4kg on the rest, 55kg is a very good weight for it. Mind you Behemoth prob wouldn’t feel 69kg let alone the 59

Managed to get 25-1 for this double ... that would kick things off nicely for the new season!

 

On a side note, I really like promise of success today, even stepping up and as a roughie I think Zouzarella is a decent use of a bonus bet.

Sorry fellas missed this week, I’ll contribute a best next week. Very interested in a couple of Sydney races today, really keen to see how good Espiona is and one of my favs in It’s Me resuming after a serious leg injury. 
Good luck today.


Tofane way too good ... streeted them!

Has now won 4 x G1's (All Aged, Tatts Tiara, Stradbroke and the Orr Stakes)

I'm Thunderstruck looked like it needed the run as it's custumary sprint finish was lacking

Yeah looked way too good. Lightsaber is one I like to follow and it missed the start by a mile.

Behemoth like last start seemed to lack the power it once had.

Interesting that Mick Price has taken the opposite stance ... wants to start at Soft5 (Dead) to protect the horses from concussion type trauma

I agree with Mick Price as a Slow5 is ideal conditions for the horses

Tbh, when it’s too hot, I usually don’t bet as I think the horses shouldn’t be running. 
 

Soft 5 would be fine by me, but the track needs to be soft 5 across the whole track and not softer on the inside if they are manufacturing the track conditions. I know it can happen naturally and that’s fine, that’s nature.

The tracks are often cambered so an even spread of watering is difficult ... same deal when it rains of course

Just water the outside of the tracks more than the inside when gravity is going to play its part

But hey, there is a lot of money and resources available in the industry so they should be able to find a way

The debate has been going on for decades

Just now, Gorgoroth said:

Would an under ground drip system work I wonder?

Who knows? ... I'm no green thumb.  Sounds like a plan though, Gorg

But you'd have reckoned RV would have figured it out by now instead of just the endless debate

Up in Sydney they more often than not race on slow or heavy tracks during the Autumn & Spring ... and that hasn't harmed the industry up there at all

And they still run slick times up there even up to a Soft7

In fact, they are thriving up there with regards to punter confidence & prizemoney

I quite often like Sydney better than melb.

@Dee Zephyr @Gorgoroth

Crack field in the Lightning!  Thoughts?

Gator has tipped Masked Crusader (8-1) and the horse does look ideally suited to the Flemington straight ... all about the timing.  Reckon the other runner at very good odds is 'The Inferno' (25-1)

Interesting that McDonald is riding Home Affairs in this.

More than interesting ... jumping off a gun horse like Nature Strip is a tad questionable (unless it isn't!) 

Jamie Kah would have to be happy though! 

Nature Strip has won 9 from 15 over the 1000 metres

  • 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.
