It’s Spargo’s 3rd game today. We’d be happy with four from him but he should be aiming at 8 goals ?.

Good luck with the multi, nice one. Is the Cats v Pies game at Geelong?

Indeed. I forgot the game was on today......still raining heavily here. Saw Darren Weir got the first at Morphetville for a lazy $5.00. When are they going to do a film about him~!

Yes the Cats are down at Cat Park, hence its pretty good thing on a wet day i would think.

James Joyce gets a winner, quinella and trifecta from his 4 picks in race 3. I liked Manuel too.

Opps, my mistake then. Sorry about that. Bet still stands tho.

Dan Zephyr into $12 fixed from $26 in the last 10 minutes. It wasn’t me.

A lot of money came for the horse but it weakened to finish well back.

I’ve noticed a lot of our Best Bets for a particular weekend pop us as winners in following starts. Osbourne Bulls a few minutes ago, Hear The Chant earlier today, French Emotion last week at very good odds mind you. Might have to do a scroll through all our picks so far to see how they back-up.

That might not be a bad idea. Like a Black Book of our bets. Where did Osborne run? Missed that.

Scone Wadda, paid around $2.20. Was in heavy traffic toward the back, found some gaps upon straightening and finished off with a brilliant burst nearer the rail.

Love it!!  The DL Black Book!

It a good horse with a great burst.

I have a severe case of PL right now, I hope you fellas mixed our trifecta selections around to get a collect at least. I’ll feel much better if you did?. 

[Macca 16,903]

Box the 5 and you got it ... I did everything but.  Ugh!!

You got the winner and 2nd DZ ... the first 4 paid in excess of 2k with our selections (if boxed)

Nope. I liked English too, Waterhouse Bott...... , but how could you leave out Redzel was my thinking.......... didnt run a place

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Well well....bad luck today boys. Thereabouts with everything. I had a good collect on our BB plc combined with Peaceful State for a win.

Ended up slightly in front for the day landing 2 doubles but it could have been a real bumper day - Demons winning easily was a good end to proceedings though.

The dividends in the Doomben 10000 were quite remarkable when factoring in the quality of horses that got into the finish.  All it needed was for the 2 favoured horses to finish out of the top 3.  But English,  Impending & Le Romain are all class gallopers.

Ok, so our strike rate needs to be updated. Do we start a Black Book? Go Dees.

@Wadda We Sing  @Dee Zephyr  @binman 

Found 3 races this weekend that are likely candidates for our combined trifecta - amongst them the 'Roma Cup' from Ascot that has a quality field from the mostly local WA horses. 

The G1 Goodwood has a field of 20 comprising a number of crack sprinters whilst the G1 Doomben Cup has some classy runners as well. 

At this time of year I'll restrict my betting to these 3 races only but more so 2-5-5-5  First4's.  A small outlay to hopefully win big ?

• Doomben Cup  G1  WFA  2000m  $650k
• The Goodwood  G1  SW+P  1200m  $1Million
• Roma Cup  G3  WFA  1200m  $150k

Yep ... the Doomben Cup seems an easier proposition all things considered. 

[Macca 16,903]

We're due for a change of order for the trifecta combo as well.

How does this look - we all rotate one spot and we go with the new order for 4 weeks (?)

• W/2/3 - Dee Zephyr
• W/2/3 - Wadda We Sing
• W/2/3 - Macca
• 2/3 - binman
