    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?:ph34r:)

    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.

    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.

    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)

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
