Put my Bonus $25 on Chain Of lighting. Thank you Ladbrokes.

$5 for chain was much more than I expected, happily took that.

 

Is Ladbrokes a decent site?

I’ve been with Sportsbet and I like the bonus bets for 2nd, 3rd etc (which I think most sites do?) but outside that they have stopped pretty much everything else.

We're going to see a lot of Giga Kick as it's a 3yo gelding  The Coolmore? Rotal Ascot? The TJ Smith? 

Sky is the limit and it's unbeaten

Commanding performance and it had been running some very slick times in 1100m races ... so the form was there

Ended up getting the quinella x 150% so here's your virtual 🍺 @Mr Steve

With all the offers from BetR I think the rest will pick up there game. Lads are also offering a 100% deposit match at the moment. Up to $100. What I like most about Lads is that I can deposit at the local Newsagent, no explaining the spend on the credit card to the wife. They also gave me a $50 bet which I stuck on No Compromise .

Well I went on Benaud and I have no idea what they were doing? It seemed to want to go multiple times and the jockey kept pulling it back and then it sat at the end the whole race…

Baffling.


Durston only got into the Caulfield Cup field today but will now probably be 3rd or 4th favourite for the Melb Cup! 

Was 51.5kgs but might carry 54kgs after a penalty?  Impressive win all the same and strong at the finish of a mile and a half

Deauville Legend & Loft are the 2 though with their overseas form

 

Michael 'Dee' ... there was the omen!

Big 2 days at the Valley!

Who do you fancy in the Manikato & Cox Plate?

Exotic for me in the sprint and I'm on at 20-1 with Anamoe in the Plate.  Maybe a trifecta in that race as well

Haven’t looked much but Anamoe should win. 
As a roughy I might take Mr Brightside

I'm liking the two down the bottom for the Manikato Macca, Best Of Bordeaux and Coolangatta.

I'm always fascinated when an international or former now in El Bodegon enters the Cox plate. Anamoe is the best horse in the country and I always like seeing the best salute. 

Good luck fellas.

Will hopefully be watching each race tomorrow. Not a big fan of moonee Valley in general, but no idea how much rain will happen between now and race 1 let alone the plate.

Yes, good luck to all!

Had a saver on El Bodegon (just in case) ... the 3yo colt has been racing well against elite company in Europe and is the real danger in the race

Anamoe is in the right gate though and is the one to beat, DZ

Best of Bordeaux tonight is a real chance as is Coolangatta (drawn perfectly again)

Eleven Eleven & Roch 'N' Horse can both run bold races as well (at the odds) 


I believe Anamoe has now won the most Group 1s for a Godolphin horse. Cracking race i thought, the champ wins and I’m Thunderstruck and El Bodegon were huge.

Thunderstruck once again was on the charge but just 10 meters too late

Been working all day but kept tabs

Anamoe is a gun and Bella must have been good (by the call) Thunder could do well overseas as well as Anamoe.

But with the money on offer here it's more about prestige if travelling

Replays on the agenda tonight as I recorded the whole ch7 coverage!!

Bella Nipotina was never going to lose, I had a fair day, missed by a nostril on either oar and decided not to use a bonus bet on my blackbooked horse (like to use some bonus bets on roughies)in promise of success…. And it ran a cracking race.

Always the way

I had a good day with the Anamoe collect (courtesy of Rupert/Betr) but got real lucky on an exacta payout where I typed in the wrong/right number for 2nd

Wonders will never cease but I'll take the 4 Avacado's!! (8 pineapples) ... I messaged  out to the various acquaintances and a mate came back with a 2k payout story when he thought he'd only won 200 ... typed in 100 instead of 10 on the layout and didn't realise (Singapore, months ago)

You need luck in this game, Gorg

Derby Day next Sat ... can't wait!!

But in the meantime, Sale Cup tomorrow and the Bendigo Cup ($500k) Wednesday ... exotics? Good money for the bush!

Can’t see anything less than heavy 8 tomorrow, hopefully a soft 6/7 for the cup, but doubt that too.

First time I’ll have to work Melb Cup since the late 90s, will be weird but hopefully will watch the races on my phone/pc

And I'm not working Tuesday when I thought I might have been!

With this weather we're likely to see some highly fancied runners flounder with at least a few roughies or value runners saluting

Had a few win bets but my plan is wide exacta's with an accent on value

I like 'Jacquinot' in the Coolmore, 'Yearning' each way in the Empire Rose and I'm sticking with Mr Maestro in the Derby (despite the wide barrier)

Mug punter here - any tips for the cup?

To be honest mate, the cup is always hard as it’s a distance that’s not seen very often, then factor in what could happen with weather and then which parts of the track may have cut up. The fav has never ran the distance, never won or placed on a soft track (soft 6 at the min). Think next best is $10.  Vow and declare is $31and it won this race 3 years ago, the Adelaide cup winner is $51

Also with such a large field it makes it harder again. Go with what pops out to you, what horse you think looks good in the mounting yard or what colours 😅

I like Lunar Flare, Smoking Roman’s and Vow and Declare are also big chances, know nothing about the fav from England I think 🤔 

so long answer no, short answer nup. 😂

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
