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)

[Gorgoroth 12,954]

Thunderstruck was very good, Alligator blood unlucky in the end. 
 

I’ve been overseas for all of Aug so not been on the punt much, had a little today but was putrid.

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!)

@Dee Zephyr @Wadda We Sing @JV7 @Gorgoroth

3 big Group 1 races this week at different courses on 3 different days!

Good luck to you blokes if you're having a few bets

Moir Stakes (Friday) Racenet Form

 

Golden Rose (Saturday) Racenet Form

 

 

Underwood Stakes (Sunday) Racenet Form

 

[Macca 16,972]

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! 

[Macca 16,972]

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

I have 40,000lt worth of tanks and they are overflowing

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!

[Gorgoroth 12,954]

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 😂

[Mr Steve 3,820]

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.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

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.

[Macca 16,972]

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

 

[Macca 16,972]

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

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

The Paulele/Anamoe double was great value at $5…should have thrown in Sydney races getting abandoned half way through the card at $1.20 for a little extra value 😀
