Walk in the park...4 length win D77 well done.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Did Manley pick that last ff?

Looks a good horse worth following Wadda.  Jamie Kah (the jockey) was saying that it's a very special horse so there you go. 

Good pick D77

2 from 4 today with our best bets ... the 2 that missed were disappointing though. 

James Jordan is worth following too ... 6 wins from 9 and could have had a couple more. 

[Macca 16,972]

A couple more races worth a look at ...

Tonight - Ascot 1000 Guineas 3yo Fillies Race 7 (8.05pm)

Sha Tin (Sunday) $3.5Million Hong Kong Derby 2000m (7.35pm)

Quite a number of familiar horses in the HK Derby and it's interesting that the age of the horses is 4 ... must be something to do with universal birthdates in the Northern hemisphere.  Is it an Jan 1st?

What is our new strike rate then?

James Jordan is just unbelievable. He must have nearly placed with his top pick every race.

I did a few trifectas based on his picks but that didn't work

It's multi them up if we can get the tips early or just back his picks to win straight out (as they come) ... but it's early doors Wadda.  

The good bit is that he could save us doing the form in Adelaide ... he certainly knows what he's talking about.

Im happy just to roll them over......did that for the last 4 today....worked pretty well. Only takes 1 to go wrong tho. But yes, hes certainly a lot better than a few others.

Still good. 21 places from 27 picks. Could do worse than that for sure.

Backing each horse to win seperately might be the go much like it could be with James Jordan's tips. 

Break even or turn a handy profit if the strike rate is at least 50%. 

I will be doing it that way at Morphettville next week.  As for our tips ... back them straight out and do a 4 pick multi just in case (?)

[Macca 16,972]

As for James Jordan's tips ... if you chose to not back any of his odds-on/even money tips today then you may have only had 5 only win bets at Morphettville. 

4 of them saluted paying as follows ... 2.50,  3.30,  3.50 & 4.00.  The other lost by a nose and was paying 3.30. 

2 of his 4 odds-on chances won for an overall win rate of 6 from 9.

I see. Well those are a good return if you get them all. Put 10 on each of the 5 and you would double your money.  WE might have to figure out if he tweets them and open an account or something.

Or,  if you got an early collect or 2 Wadda you can keep your initial stake (and a bit extra) and then keep betting with your winnings. 

I looked up his twitter account but couldn't find his tips ... a google search was no good either.  It's a mystery.

K.....we might have to send a SWAT (Special We Attack Turf) team to Morphettville, and track him down.

Here's a replay of yesterday's Group 1 Coolmore Classic ...

 

 

[Macca 16,972]

Whilst the focus well & truly goes to Rosehill next Saturday for the 5 Group 1 events there's also 3 decent races at Moonee Valley on Friday evening including the Group 1 1200m William Reid Stakes 500k (an excellent field assembled too)

There's also the Sunline Stakes (Group 2) & The Alexandra Stakes (Group 3) on at the Valley as well. 

Anyway, here's a replay of 3 of those Group 1's from last year's Golden Slipper Day.

Ray Thomas (Racing Editor Daily Telegraph) was on SEN a short time ago and provided an update on the latest racing news.

- Hugh Bowman cleared to ride Winx and Performer on Saturday.

- Performer was cleared to run in the Slipper after being required to participate in a barrier trial last Friday. It was an impressive trial with the blinkers on. Hopefully no more Nutbush moves from the horse.

- A very even bunch of juveniles competing in the Slipper this year in his opinion. Barrier draw is tomorrow.

- Still unclear if Waller will head to Royal Ascot with Winx.

The most bizarre news involved the grand old campaigner Chautauqua. The horse refused to jump out of the barriers today in a barrier trial for the fourth consecutive time. In trackwork the horse is running fast times but refuses to jump in trials. Future up in the air.

[Macca 16,972]

It's such a shame with Chautauqua ... at his best the horse has breathtaking finishing speed.  Of course,  the horse has won over $8.8Million for the connections but let's hope the end isn't nigh anyway. 

And there's another story connected to 'Tom Melbourne' ... apparently Blake Shinn had the persuader tangled up with the reins for the last 300 metres in Saturday's Ajax Stakes ... so the horse wasn't given every chance to win.  Good old Tom just can't take a trick.

Anyway,  a picture tells a thousand words ...
