Looking at the overhead, im amazed he even got inside Gailo.......close to a protest

Proved very tricky today, Shillelagh just needed to run a place.  50 to 1 pop hey? 

It’s been fun today again and look forward to @Kumamoto_Ken joining the gang.

Any late tips?

Sugar Bella should win but not a tip D77.   It's very short

I was a little up for the day but still playing with house money ... no hard luck stories either. 

The highlights in terms of the racing were the impressive wins by Kementari & Redkirk Warrior whilst credit must go to the Hayes clan for getting the chocolates with Harlem (was its last run a track gallop?)

Happy Clapper was too good in a highly competitive Canterbury Stakes whilst  Redzel was also too classy in its race.  Estijaab ran a very quick time to win but that track was probably closer to a fast 2 than a good 4 judging by a lot of the other times. 

The other big story was Hugh Bowman falling (no broken bones apparently and he should be ok) and what happens to 'Performer' now ... the stewards might have a bit to say on that one.  It's now out to 8.50 for the Slipper.

Anyway,  for those who may wish to partake,  there's a few decent races at Canberra tomorrow (Canberra Guineas,  Canberra Cup & Black Opal Stakes for 2yo's)

'Assimilate' is favourite in the Guineas,  'Show a Star' favoured in the Cup whilst there are a few chances in the Black Opal.  

There's some decent races on Monday as well at Morphettville (Nomothaj is running around in the 2yo Classic!) ... more on that meeting tomorrow night.

I'll post up the replays of the Newmarket Hcp & the Randwick Guineas when they become available but here's the G1 Canterbury Stakes & the G1 Australian Cup (2018)

Had to watch the Newmarket replay twice then Macca. Once to watch the grandstand side only, twice to watch the far side. Terrific race though.

On 'After the Last' on the racing channel they showed an overhead shot of the Newmarket from the start and Redkirk was way out in front from the get-go.  David Hayes made mention that the outside going was a lot slower too (and he'd know)

There's real talk of taking the horse to Royal Ascot (mid/late June) although because of the Hong Kong ownership the horse may go to HK first.  The horse was good to me today as I also had it in a double with Kementari as well as landing the trifecta. 

I also had Merchant Navy in a few other small multi's so the best bets can be used in a variety of ways including of course,  adding another horse in the same race/races (as I did with Redkirk)  Kementari was the banker as was Gailo Chop ... got one but missed on the other.

My mate Brett went to Randwick yesterday. He said Ace High is a huge horse. So powerful. Once it gets up to its right distance, nothing will get past it.

Needless to say hes a fan. It did look like he was really starting to wind up yesterday. Another 200m and would have smashed em.

Its being set for the Cups in Spring. He took a double Caulfield/Melbourne and got 143/1

Yes Wadda,  Ace High is building really nicely and is obviously looking for the 2000m and further.  Won't be long to wait either ...

The Rosehill Guineas (2000m) is being held in 2 weeks (March 24) and then the Australian Derby (2400m) is held on April 7. 

Ace High showing 3.50 for the Guineas and 6.00 for the Derby.

Wonder what the double would pay? 10.50??

After consulting the Australian Group & Listed Races I see that 'Criterion' & 'It's a Dundeel'  have done the double in more recent times so it's not such a big ask for Ace High.  It's had 3 runs now this campaign and looks primed. 

Ladbrokes are showing Ace High at 3.50 for the Rosehill Guineas & 6.00 for the Derby Wadda ... combined odds of 21.00 but I believe it's 'all-in' betting.

TAB has deductions for the same runner. Im assuming after the deduction its 10.50 or thereabouts. They dont have a market up yet. (typical) Do the other betting companies do a deduction i wonder?

I wouldn't know Wadda ... I don't do all-in betting as a general rule.  And I've left the TAB behind and won't be going back!  The other betting agencies have so much more to offer.  I like Ladbrokes for now but am keeping my options open. 

I do like to look ahead at the odds though ... mainly to see which horses are what in terms of their future schedule. 

For instance,  next weeks big Group 1 - Coolmore Classic 1500m

God thats a toughie...and Shoals is back as well.

Who are you with Sportsbet isnt it? Can you find out if they have a deduction for same runner in 2 diffent races in a double type bet?

It might be worth joining just for that as often they match your first bet as we previously discussed.

I wouldn't even know where to look Wadda ... all my betting is via the internet and as previously stated,  I have no idea how all-in betting works as I never do it. 

And I'm with Ladbrokes (for now)  Give them a ring (or you could try Sportsbet or any of the other betting agencies)
