    Thought 'Alward' was going to get to the line first but just missed ... money back if you took it each-way.

    And now for the Winx show ... I'm intrigued to see how close Kementari can get.

    Happy Clapper is in great form as well.

    Ace High had every chance but D'argento too good.  Started favourite and rightly so in the end. 

    Ace High just hasn't had that zip about him in this campaign ... battled on well but we were looking for some brilliance.

    'Sunlight' & 'Written By' were game in defeat - it was a really good race. 

    Estijaab had to do it from the outside barrier - a great win and a great ride by Avdulla. 

    And once again the exotics pay really well - Oohood was the difference but it always gets into the finish - it nearly won!  Santos just couldn't finish off. 

    There's a big future for a number of the runners.

    Shame about Santos, just like Ace High he was stuck 3 wide the trip. You need to be exceptional to win under those circumstances in the wet. I almost got the first 4, the only piece missing was the winner.  :)

    Well done to the winner!!

    Santos will win it's fair share of races D77 ... that was a hot field.

    Winx now not going to Royal Ascot but will contest a 4th Cox Plate - I would have been happy either way but the mare contesting another Cox Plate will be something special to look forward to.

    Of course,  Winx will still contest the 2000m Queen Elizabeth Stakes on April 14 before going for a spell - the race is worth a cool $4Million.  Here's the full story

    just looking up Winx' prize money to date and came across this interesting point:

    Unlike many elite racehorses, Winx does not have a particularly long stride – her stride was measured at 6.76 metres (22.2 ft) compared to nearly 8.5 metres (28 ft) for Black Caviar and Phar Lap. Instead, her success has been attributed to a "freakish" stride rate that allows her to take 14 strides every 5 seconds, compared to 12 for her rivals. "This means she can settle or accelerate at any time during a race," said Dr. Graeme Putt, who has studied the science of racehorse success. "I think this makes her unique."[9]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winx_(horse)

    Would have loved to see her at Ascot.... perhaps we can get some stars from overseas to come and contest the Cox Plate.

    I see the second favourite for the Cox Plate is Humidor which is a little like ground hog day.

    Some very interesting stats there DJ - well researched. 

    As we are no doubt aware by now,  the prizemoney on offer here outstrips what Winx could earn for the connections racing overseas ... by quite a long way too (unless she was to tackle the 2400m classics like the 'Arc'.  

    I had a look ahead and the races that she could have contested overseas within that 1600m - 2000m mark are only worth around the $1Million mark where as the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Randwick) on April 14 is worth $4Million & The Cox Plate $3Million.  And the other races Winx contests here are often worth around the $1Million mark anyway.

    It's my hope that horses like Enable,  Winter and/or Churchill are brought down to Oz in the Spring or Autumn.  It would be a fantastic advancement for our racing if that were to happen and in turn, Winx would have some real competition. 

    Footnote:  If the Queen Elizabeth Stakes & The Cox Plate were both held in the Spring or Autumn we'd soon see the Internationals coming.  Probably won't happen of course - just a thought.

    I'm getting in early with Gailo Chop for my best bet. 

    Rosehill Race 6  No.1 ... $2.60 is currently available.  Gailo is basically meeting the same horses that it has beaten recently.  The trend should continue.  The distance is a slight query with Almandin being the main danger. 

    Overall Best Bet Strike Rate

    31:  17 - 6 - 1

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
