A Day at the Races

What do we all like in the Makybe Diva Stakes tomorrow?

Thunderstruck is very short odds and it's best wins but ... I'm giving Western Empire another chance (8.50 with a boost)

Good race, all the same with 6 winning chances out of the 8 runners.  And they can all get into the finish

Tactics will be interesting in this one Macca, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of pace in the race. Not sure who leads.

Thunderstruck gets Alligator right on the line.  It was always the more likely outcome and it went true to form

They'll clash again no doubt

The others never threatened including my choice - Western Empire (who was outclassed)

Time honoured Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes tomorrow

Boom horse 'I Wish I Win' is the favourite but needs 2 from the field to scratch to get a run!!

With the rain about that might happen

Very open race, all the same.  One for the exotics

Incredibly tough race this year Macca. Thrown a bonus bet on Showmanship.

I've had a wide exacta as I'm not at all confident of landing the trifecta!!  F4 could pay anything! 

Just got Pride of Jenni up so a decent start, DZ

Anamoe & Nature Strip should both win I've gone for some value with trifecta's with both those feature races

Anything that you like today? (mozz factor de-activated)

Good work. Have Anamoe one out in the Sydney quad and a multi going Macca. Aft Cabin/Nature Strip/Sixbysixtythree. 
Pretty much my picks for the day.

Anamoe, Nature Strip & Aft Cabin all duly salute ... got the NS tri (paid well) and had Aft Cabin with Smokin (pl) in a 2-race double

Decent day so far!  (lean winter though!)

Big day of racing coming up on Saturday ... Guineas Day at Caulfield features 10 Stakes races including the Toorak Hcp, The Guineas, Schillaci Stakes & the Might and Power

Up in Sydney they've got 6 Stakes races including the Silver Eagle

There are a stack of favourites that will be well supported but they can't all win!  Or can they?

If I had to single out 3 they'd be 'I Wish I Win' in the Toorak, 'Anamoe' in the Might and Power and 'Polly Grey' in Angst Stakes

Multi's will the theme for the day for me

Good luck punters!!

I haven’t been on the punt as much for a while but sort of keeping my eye in (and doing terribly 😂)

Polly Grey is a absolute fav of mine and should run a good race, but I can’t see them running it, it’s a H10 now with a ton of rain expected.

Open Minded in the 2nd at Caulfield at $20 is one I’ll keep an eye on.

Meridus in the big race is a roughy I like but Golden Mile should win there.

Anomoe should win, but with the rain coming in Mr brightside at $16 might be worth including in any tri/f4 bets

Yep, you're right, there's a good chance Randwick will be cancelled, Gorg

Still, the 10 race card at Caulfield is an absolute beauty!

Might try to find a few value bets at Morphettville and/or Eagle Farm to fill in the gaps!

At this rate we could easily be on a H8+ tomorrow at Caulfield

 

Mate it’s a heavy 35 at my place, my chooks need to become ducks and I need a boat not a car to get down my driveway, don’t even try and walk in the back paddock or the swamp as it’s been for the last month

Well here in palatial Kew we've got plenty of run-off for all the water deluging down!

The council are controlled by the old money and the high end legal fraternity! haha

And Sydney has already set a record for the amount of rain they've had in a year (with 3 months to go!)

Us punters should know as when we bet on the Sydney races, the tracks are nearly always heavy ... been that way for at least 2-3 years

Good luck with your water tanks, Gorg!

Soft 7 at the moment, doesn’t look like rain for the day so shouldn’t drop to a heavy but prob won’t get to a good either. I won’t be able to listen or watch the races as I’m out so will need to decide, put them on before I leave and hope 😂

I know how good Anamoe but I have this feeling the Mo'unga is going to spoil the party. Brilliant field and the outsider Nonconformist loves the track, distance and conditions. I can make a case for every horse except the bottom one. Maybe I should back the bottom one.

I too like nonconformist. Not sure it will win but all seems in its favour to make a good fist of it.

See that new Betting mob BetR "owned by Murdoch so I wont be going near them" Is offering 101 to 1 on any horse in the Melbourne Cup. You can only put ten on and have to bet before Derby day buy if you believe you have the winner. $10 would get you a thousand. No doubt you would have to turn your winnings over again before you can collect.

Anamoe!! What a horse!  Ridden a treat by J-Mac.  I'm Thunderstruck & Zaaki very brave

Skinny odds was Anamoe but perfect for the multi's

Hot favourite for the Cox Plate now you'd imagine

And the Randwick meeting has been called off

Had a few live multi's going too!  Can't complain though as I'm way in front today

They've pencilled in Monday for the remaining 3 stakes races but where?  They'd be lucky to find a track that isn't heavy

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
