Best Bet: Rosehill R9 No.5 Osborne Bulls.

Currently a $3 chance with TAB.

Finished off really well last start after being luckless for most part of the straight and should be too good for this lot.

Edit: Kenโ€™s Dream is terrific value at $6 in Race 8 at Caulfield. If they are running on, it could be worth a few bucks.ย

Yeah I like Osborne Bulls as well D77 ... the horse is looking for the 1400m too.ย  I'll be including Ken's Dream in a trifecta as well - thanks for the heads up.ย 

There are some wide-open races at Rosehill tomorrow - especially the Vinery Stud Stakes & to a lesser extent the Emancipation Stakes.ย  The Easter Cup at Caulfield is a good betting race as well ... I like those sort of fields being a trifecta punter.ย 

They are racing at Oakbank instead of Morphettville tomorrow but I'll be following JJ's tips with interest ... I've figured out a way to use his tips in trifectas by taking his first 2 tips to win (as a base of a 2-4-6 trifecta)

Just a note on the Internationals ... there are no fewer than 7 of 9 in the Group 1 Tancred Stakes to be run tomorrow.ย  I suppose being a $2Million race it's no surprise.ย 

2 from France and 1 each from the UK,ย  Ireland,ย  Germany,ย  Japan & New Zealand.ย  The scratching (Libran) is also from Ireland so it could have been 8 from 10.ย 

Most or all will probably run against Winx in the $4Million Queen Elizabeth Stakes on the 14th of April.ย 

 

Dan Zephyr is running in the last at Caulfield today. I had no idea until I went through the fields again. Canโ€™t see him winning or even placing to be honest. Change of trainer in the last few months but I see they stuck with their favourite jockey.ย :huh:

Good luck to the old boy!

when you say Internationals do you mean owned from overseas or simply bred overseas.

Not sure but it seems that we don't see as many of the visiting internationals any more. Strange given the ease of transport but I suppose it's the old quarantine problem.

Good luck to the Demon Zephyr !

To be honest I don't know for sure DJ ... for instance,ย  if there is a "Ire" next to the horses name do we assume that the horse was bred overseas?ย  I would have thought yes but it's a good question.ย 

Gailo Chop was bred overseas and raced in Europe for its first 12 races ... so there's one.ย  Almandin is another as well as Harlem.ย  These horses have been here for a fair time now so we may be assuming that they are not from overseas.ย 

I reckon all the overseas horses currently racing here have slipped under the guard.ย  The fanfare with regards to overseas 'invaders' usually surrounds the Melbourne Cup.ย 

As previously stated,ย  I welcome the interest from overseas for a number of reasons.ย  The owners & trainers here might disagree but it should also be noted that the overseas horses are often placed in the hands of the local trainers. ย

It usually means bred overseas. Going back about 10-20ย years Australia/NZย bred topย stayers but the lack of decent staying races in conjunction with the amount of time it took from foal to ready for racing was too long.ย 

People want quick returns, hence owners investing in two year olds because they can race when they are two years of age.

Some of the top trainer/ownersย would invest in overseas stayers and bring them to race here as ready made gallopers,ย i.e Waterhouse with Fiorente.ย 

Thats my understing anyway fellas.

Edit: Overseas trainers were bringing quality stayers to race here in the Melbourne Cup especially in the last 5-10 years as Macca stated above. Aussie trainers took a backstepย and it was almost aย case of,ย if you canโ€™t beat them, join them.

The Quarantine laws have been relaxed too - the following article (below) is from last year.

@Maccaย Looks like two โ€œBest Betsโ€ today.ย 

Around $8 for the multi. Not bad for two legs.ย

I've worked a couple of trifectas around the picks D77 ... looking forward to the 2 Group 1's though.ย 

For a bit of each way value I like Torvill in the Vinery Stud Stakes (Race 7 Rosehill) and Golden Mane in the Easter Cup (Race 7 Caulfield)

James Jordan's tips have been posted up on Racing.com

Opps i picked D77s pick as my best, my bad.....sorry. It better win then!!

We should give ourselves an extra win for the strike rate!ย  Well tipped gentlemen.ย 

Gailo Chop just found the distance a bit too long.ย  Almandin is a champ though - Sydney Cup is next up for the horse in a couple of weeks.ย  Could be a very good field too with a few of the stayers running into a bit of form.ย  Fanatic & Ormito should be starters.ย 

Hiyaam was too good for them in the Vinery.

Awwww, up there...i see. I wonder if theyve been there every week....

Yes we should....you could have backed it twice if you wanted....haha..

Of his first pick, he only missed twice with it win or place. Thats good.

The tips might have been up but I only noticed them after a few races today ... the tips haven't been there previously when I've looked but I stand corrected.ย  Maybe the word is spreading and racing.com have decided to post up his tips.ย 

And backing Osborne Bulls twice would have been a great choice Wadda! :ph34r: ... fairly sure 3.50 was available.ย

Having a go in Dubai tonight? ha ha

I've got a 4 pick multi going just for an interest bet ... all favs so I hope to get the chance to cash out.ย  The races from Dubai are on the racing channel - just kicked off.ย

Mad doing margin betting on the Dees...........could be anything. More like dodged a bullet, but ill take it.

I must say im impressed with Ladbrokes. The always have odds up very quickly whilst TAB or AFL Crown suspend betting for minutes at a time. I just click on a live bet and they ring me within 5 secs. Its a pretty good service.

In the end (for me at least) it comes down to the ease of navigating the website and the best odds on offer ... the TAB loses out on both fronts Wadda. ย 

Sat up and watched half the races from Dubai last night and then watched the rest of the races this morning ... some great racing on offer with a lot of good horses involved.ย  I didn't bet on the races apart from a very small multi that didn't work out.ย  They make a very big deal of it over there.ย 

Anyway ... here's a replay of the Dubai World Cup followed by the Derby ...

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonโ€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyโ€™s three matches and, with Melbourneโ€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekโ€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardโ€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnโ€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamโ€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneโ€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.ย There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.ย Since that game, the Demonsโ€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    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 theyโ€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the โ€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayโ€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
