Best Bets:

Rosehill: Race 6 No 2 Sayed  $3.40

Sunshine Coast: Race 7 Number 2 The Bostonian  $3.40

Caulfield: Race 7 No 3 Usain Bowler  $4.40

This weeks lucky numbers will net you a lazy $51.00 (approx) for your lazy $1.00 outlay, if they happen to win ! 

Good luck punters !

You'd reckon that sooner or later we'd get the 3 up Wadda ... and today is as good a time as any!

I got on last night @ 55-1 (boosted)  Just as well too as Sayed has come right in due to the scratchings in that race. 

I also llike 'I'm a Rippa' as my each-way chance in the Glasshouse Hcp (Sunshine Coast Race 9) ... currently showing $6.50 & $2.30

    Got some tips fellas and I don’t usually receive them often. No comment in the text just races and numbers. I’ll post them anyway just to test out the source.

    Rosehill R5 No.1 La Chica Bella

    I notice the horse will carry 61kg on the Soft. Good start.

    Rosehill R8 No.13 Mapmaker

    Morphetville R3 No.5 Canford

    Yep i went down to the tab before and got 27/1. :( Typical.

    I did put them all on for a place as well into a few football teams.

    Tell me....when you bet on the soccer (tab) shows result at full time. So how do you bet on a result at total time or whatever...ie the end of the game! Is it even possible? Im guessing its not.

    Always like a good tip DZ. Yep 61kg in the mud is a great start! Is this the same sauce that said we would thrash Peru?

    Don't know Wadda ... you are better off betting at Sportsbet or Ladbrokes where the odds shown are for after extra time or for the actual result regardless of extra time or penalties. 

    The TAB do it for other sports as well and they shouldn't do so - a lot of punters get caught out.

    Weve had some bad luck with the selections. We really have had some gun horses put in some very average runs, beaten by bolters, pipped on the line you name it. That said we are due soon. Come Spring we may get a few on the trot, so to speak.

    Haha, we’ll find out soon enough Wadda. I’m taking the tips in a place multi, some good value. Around $7 for an all-place multi. 

    There is a method of result betting option available on Tab for the soccer. Pick your team to win in extra time, penalties, full time, siesta time, whatever pleases you mate. There was a  “ To Qualify”  option on games but I can’t see it in the markets. That was always a good option to avoid the dreaded draw.

    That’s probably the best option when it comes to knockout rounds. Just pick the team you think will go through to the next round. Slightly smaller odds of course but a simple way nonetheless.

    No good with the first “ Tip” at Morphetville. The jockey on Canford thought he was riding in a 3200m race. Got going way too late. Next!

    Well Wadda, two tips in and we have tasted the sauce. Tastes like mustard. The horse with 61kg tired, no surprise though.

    Staying races are not my go - even more so in the winter.  Sayed ran last - is that a first?  Another lesson learnt! 

    Anyway,  my go today is in the Caloundra Cup,  Glasshouse Hcp,  Strickland Stakes & the Irish Derby ... and a very good class 2 race at Sha Tin tomorrow (race 7)  3 more staying races in amongst that lot so here's hoping ?

    And The Bostonian salutes ... looked the winner a fair way from home too.  We got 1 winner at least.

    It seems that we're taking it in turns to find that 1 winner Wadda ... although,  to be honest,  it's not the best time of year in terms of trying to find a winner.  It will be a different story in the Spring when all the good horses are running around.

    Ideal outcome DZ - enjoy!

     

    Ended up breaking even on the day (why does that feel like a win? ?)

    Had a few collects but nothing of any real significance ... my new strategy of boxing 5 in a trifecta feels like a more assured way of betting though.  Only issue is the low percentage of not so large dividends!

    But I've loaded up a bit on the Irish Derby as my feature betting event for the day ... will be a late night what with the World cup on overnight as well

    The Curragh - Irish Derby  2400m  Group 1  3yo  SW  $2.4Million (2.15am Sunday)

     

    And there's a decent sprint race on at Sha Tin tomorrow if you're looking to have a bet

    The Hong Kong Reunification - Race 7  1200m  C2  $320k

     

    Oh,  and here's Material Man vs Pounamu again (raced today) ...

    Belmont - Strickland Stakes  2000m  WFA  Group 3

    Irish Derby from overnight ...

    The odds on favourite (Saxon Warrior) was always a good chance to not win especially after finishing 4th in the Epsom Derby so the $850 trifecta was there for the taking.  

    Apparently 'Latrobe' is owned by Lloyd Williams and I wonder whether he might bring the horse down to Australia for the cups?

    What odds Nature Strip with that field DZ? 

    I had the race down as a trifecta race but will probably do a F4 instead with Nature Strip as the winner.

    I will of course be including El Magificence in that F4.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
