And it's not over yet!  Caulfield Saturday and it will be an interesting experiment by the MRC with regards to moving the Thousand Guineas from mid October

So there's 3 good betting races (2 at G1 level) to round out the Spring carnival (although the Perth summer carnival at Ascot does provide some keen and competitive racing)

Anyway, here are the 3 races and odds

J-Mac starts his 6 week stint in Hong Kong as of tomorrow (Sha Tin) and he's got a full book of rides aside from R1

James & Zac Purton could dominate proceeding tomorrow as both jockeys are riding on any number of genuine winning chances

I quite like 'Mr Trafficanti' in R3 Caulfield on Saturday for a bit of each-way value 11.00/3.00

Well in at the weights and racing well

Don't often back roughies but Rich Fortune can run into the money if it can handle the pressure of a G1 race.  Been running excellent times at G3 & Listed level

Flemington R8 No.6

Here's a series of podcasts that are well worth a listen.  Most enthralling! 

From the Great Bookie robbery as well as various tales of ring-ins & rorts in the horse racing industry

Not overly long either so packed full of interest from a bygone era

The time honoured G1 Moir Stakes to run this Saturday - The Dash for Cash!

The older horses vs the 3yo's

A decent betting race so the exotics could produce a nice dividend (More so the Trifecta or F4)

 

Moir Stakes 2024 Field

1000m Race at Moonee Valley Racecourse

Race Time: 4:50 pm
September 7, 2024
I-WISH-I-WIN.jpeg
1. I Wish I Win (5)
J: Luke Nolen
 
T: Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman
 
W: 58.5kg
Best Odds: $4.50
Rating: 
COMMENT: I remember last year, Peter Moody said about I Wish I Win that when he resumed in the Memsie, he didn’t need to be wound right up for it given it was 1400m and that there was petrol in the tank. 12 months, here he is resuming at 1000m and I reckon he’s wound right up. His jumpout work has been strong and last time he was at the 1000m, his run in the Lightning was incredible. If he handles the track and is within range, look out.

2. Mornington Glory (5)
J: Ethan Brown
 
T: Gavin Bedggood
 
W: 58.5kg
Best Odds: $17
Rating: 
COMMENT: Mornington Glory has been a revelation the last 6-12 months and is clearly liking The Valley so he has earned a crack. Lot to like about his Carlyon won two weeks back, sitting off speed, making a sustained run and was strong to the line in winning. I say no, he can’t win, but maps to do no work and is a must for exotics.

3. Johnny Rocker (3)
J: Mark Zahra
 
T: Nick Ryan
 
W: 58.5kg
Best Odds: $17
Rating: 
COMMENT: Fascinating runner. I don’t think he is sharp enough for 1000m but I think from the gate, he does no work and will be strong late. Not sure he has the quality to win but he can run top four without surprising.
 
CABALLUS.png
4. Caballus (9)
J: Joshua Parr
 
T: Bjorn Baker
 
W: 58.5kg
Best Odds: $15
Rating: 
COMMENT: Potentially, a kind map for him getting outside Estriella, but I just don’t think he’s good enough. He has real flaws in his form IMO and this is different gravy. But, I have said this about a Bjorn Baker sprinter previously and I’ve been burned. But, I don’t think he can threaten. Should be the rank outsider.
 
CHAIN-OF-LIGHTNING.jpeg
5. Chain Of Lightning (4)
J: Damian Lane
 
T: Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman
 
W: 56.5kg
Best Odds: $13
Rating: 
COMMENT: Quality mare when right but is she sharp enough for 1000m? Moved well to win a recent jumpout at Pakenham and does race very well on the fresh side. There is forecast for rain Thursday and Friday, so whether that impacts the track, not sure, but she maps ideally. Slight overs IMO.
 
ESTRIELLA.png
6. Estriella (8)
J: Blake Shinn
 
T: Ciaron Maher
 
W: TBC
Best Odds: $3.00
Rating: 
COMMENT: Estriella looks to be absolutely humming for Ciaron Maher. Most of these runners are here to make a statement for The Everest and she is probably leading the line for that given what she did in the Autumn where she looked like a jet before an end of prep run in the Sangster. Her trial/jumpout work has been electric, has been set for the race…very hard to beat.
 
COLEMAN.png
7. Coleman (6)
J: Kerrin McEvoy
 
T: Matt Laurie
 
W: 56.5kg
Best Odds: $8.00
Rating: 
COMMENT: Better run in transit and he is probably a Golden Slipper winner. But I have thought his jumpout/trial work this time in has been really poor and hasn’t screamed out of a horse who can win a 1000m Group l fresh. If he wins, too good, but for mine, he’s got none. Not sure he has come up.
 
LADY-OF-CAMELOT.png
8. Lady Of Camelot (2)
J: Zac Lloyd (a)
 
T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott
 
W: 50kg
Best Odds: $5.00
Rating: 
COMMENT: Can’t deny her winning claims with the weight, the map and the intent from the trials. Slipper winner that looks prepped right up to run a beauty and the set up just looks perfect for her. Maps to stalk Estriella, Caballus drops off and she gets her chance. Hard to beat…but for mine, is too short.
 
HAYASUGI.png
9. Hayasugi (7)
J: Ms Jamie Kah
 
T: Clinton McDonald
 
W: 50kg
Best Odds: $11
Rating: 
COMMENT: I can see her being very dangerous. Blue Diamond winner that does need to step up to the plate but gee her trial/jumpout work has been sizzling. Loved her jumpout and then her trial behind Pharari last week was very good. The only knock is can she give them a start and a beating? You’ve got 50kg on her back and a decent price to find out.

    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.

    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. Date of Birth: 4 J

    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
