There's the verification,  that's right.  Mine went through reasonably quickly but not sure on the actual time.  Plus,  you don't want to miss out on your bonus bet. 

You might want to give them a call to find out. 

I will cheers. Good punting.......is Ormito an official Day at the Races special?!! Might contribute toward the strike rate!

All I know is that it had better win!  I reckon it runs a place at worst Wadda. 

Nomothaj is next up in the 4th ... it has qualified 15th for the Slipper ((16 will run) so Hayes setting it for this 200k 2yo Classic is smart thinking. 

Golden Slipper Order of Entry

And if Ormito wins then we could count the win towards our 'strike-rate' but if it doesn't win,  forget it.  How's that for a bit each-way!

Is our strike rate now:

22: 13.4.1

It might be 23: 13 - 5 - 1 Wadda because we only had 3 best bets in the first week. 

19 times in the finish out of 23 is quite good ... and a 56% win rate is reasonable too.

Nomothaj never looked like it ... had no acceleration

If we can lift that win strike rate up to 70%  -  75% we will be doing very well Wadda.  The concept is well worth persevering with.  

And Nomothaj only cost me a very small outlay (a double with Ormito)

Small field in the next one (Race 5) but they've all got a chance.

Interesting article from racing.com - worth a read. 

Newmarket Handicap showcases training over pedigree

Quote

After watching Redkirk Warrior gallop after soon arriving, champion trainer David Hayes felt that he would be better suited to sprint and mile races in Australia.

Brave Smash has been redeveloped into an elite sprinter in Australia by Darren Weir and his team. It again raises the question of whether he would have had similar results if he had stayed in Japan.

Interesting.thanks for that..........Brave Smash dam is Tosen Smash.....i wonder if its the dam of Tosen Stardom as well?

You'd reckon there's some sort of connection.  And I like the international horses competing in Australia.  It gives our racing more exposure and it's a win/win in my opinion.

Lol, been out and about but always find time to jump on and have a sneaky look. Even managed to catch the cup on the phone. Fanatic didn’t give up at all, I thought Ormito had it the last 200m.

Looked like he was going to mow him down......will we take the 2nd in our strike rate Macca?

The race caller didn’t even realise Fanatic railed through on the final turn and bolted two lengths in front. It happened so quick, you could hear his surprise 100m upon straightening.

Al Haram looked like it shifted out to give Fanatic the perfect run ... rigged! :ph34r:

Williams did the right thing with Ormito but Fanatic covered less ground - on the fence the whole way. 

Close but no cigar ... money back at least.  My advice was each-way so I hope you blokes got something back.

Fanatic got the perfect run - the jockey took a chance and it paid off.

It was a really good tip. Run that race another 20 times and it wins everytime. Winner had all the luck.

The jockey on Fanatic (Walker) mentioned that he could see the leader (Al Haram) was 'hanging-off' the whole race.  So the run that Fanatic got wasn't as lucky as we initially thought. 

Did Williams not notice the same thing or was he thinking that Fanatic was going to follow him to the outside? 

Ormito was a good thing beaten,  all things considered.  I was worried about Fanatic of course ... it ran very well to win the Sandown Cup in gutsy fashion. 

Ah well,  it was a terrific race and we got a run for our money.

Yep ... the hindsight quinella - related to 'Punters lament'  ha ha

And McAvaney has been great today ... he's such a proffesional especially when it comes to the horses.  Knows his stuff. 

Edit: His interview with Darren Weir was fascinating.

Here's a replay of last year's Coolmore Classic won by 'Heavens Above'  ... the Coolmore Classic is the only Group 1 event being held next Saturday although there are a host of other Group 2 & 3 races being held at Moonee Valley (Friday evening),  Rosehill & Flemington. 

Here's the latest odds for the race (Shoals running?)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
