I missed the boat with the good place dividend Wadda. I saw $16 and $5 on TAB this morning and didn’t take it. Thought I’d wait. That was one decent plunge late.( It wasn’t me)

I thought it was a very good run considering he was trapped the widest for the majority. Couldn’t get a decent spot. I’m not suggesting the horse would have won but it would have finished a lot closer.

Anyways, on to Saturday fellas.

Voodoo Lad going around again at Caulfield and is second fav at around 3.50 in the main race,

Also Nature Strip goes to Adelaide at 1.50

Yes its beyond me Macca, no idea really. If its anything like the old system im pretty sure you have to win to go up in grade.

According to this article on racing.com a horse can be penalised 3-5 points for winning and 1-2 points for finishing 2nd or 3rd.  That's the short answer but there are discretionary powers at play as well. 

El Magnificence may go from a rating of 62 to 63 or 64 but I'm only guessing Wadda.  Those extra 2 ratings points amounts to 1 extra kg in a BM64 race. 

The winner would probably be penalised to a point where it might have to race in higher benchmark races.

If Gator Picks Voodoo Lad I'm on it ?... may or may not make it my best bet though.  There's a few others in a few of the other races that I've got my eye on as well.

And the Nature Strip/Sunlight match-race has quinella written all over it ... the exacta will pay more but which horse wins?  They've both got speed to burn.

That’s pretty much how I remember the ratings Macca although I haven’t looked into them lately. The first horse I was involved in won a Maiden in his second start and was allocated a rating of 62 post race.

He went in as the top weight at Wodonga in his next race which he won and jumped to a 66. The article seems on the money. 

Interestingly with El, he was a 62 after his maiden win. Went up to 63 after the 5th in his first up run to Double Jeopardy, remained a 63 after the 5th to Nature Strip and went in as a 62 today after his 4th a fortnight ago at Sandown. The horse lost one rating point from that 4th placing. 

He is currently a 62 but unsure if the rating has been updated from today.

Its up against a pretty good horse whos fav, cant remember, but its at Caulfield....Voodoo likes it there.

Nothing wrong with having a quinella as your BB.

 

Best bet ...

Rosehill  Race 7  No.4 Invinzabeel  $6.00

Very consistent horse and has drawn to do very little work with the inside gate.  Trained by Waller with Shinn on board,  it's also been tipped to win by Gator & Brad Davidson.  The 1400m is the horse's ideal distance and it races well at Rosehill. 


Best Bet.

Morphetville Race 5 No.8 MUSSOORIE MAGIC

TAB Odds: $2.50

Promising 3yr old, won well last start and looks an exciting staying prospect. Is taking on some older horses but it drops somewhat in class.

Wide barrier shouldn’t be a concern at this trip and looks a very good chance of winning.

In other racing news, Captain Harry is going around again at $16. This time it’s back at Caulfield in R8. Much harder than Adelaide last week, the boys from work said the horse eased up when it got to the front a tad early last week and only got going again when the eventual winner went by him on the inside.

I’ll also keep a keen eye out for Mount Kilcoy. Another exciting young stayer and the 2400m seems ideal again.

That wraps up this morning’s news.

Mussoorie Magic has been scratched DZ ?

I've put Mount Kilkoy in a couple of boosted-odds doubles ... I tend to do that with the short priced favourites.   Invinzabeel has shortened too - it was Gator's best bet though. 

JJ's best bet is in race 8 at Morphettville ... No.12  Nodoubtaboutit  $6.00 ... he went winless last week which was surprising.  I would have had a real good day if he'd got his usual 3+ winners. 

Gator tipped 6 winners last week - 3 each at Flemington & Randwick.   He's in hot form.

I’ll follow Gator tomorrow.

I do like Mount Kilcoy, I’ll do some more form tonight and see if I can find better value. 

I do have a bet going in the footy tonight. Parker to kick 2 or more goals and Sydney to win @$6.

He’s on 1 currently. 

Thought I’d try my luck tonight and build a kitty for tomorrow, been a while since I’ve had a flutter on the footy.

I’m leaning towards Sunlight Macca. 7kg less than Nature Strip and Tony McEvoy says she’s in good order after her recent trial win.

Tony McEvoy on:

Advantages for Sunlight - Class and the lightweight.

Disadvantage - Nature Strip has been racing all winter and Sunlight is first-up. 

Should be a great battle and the $2.50 on offer might be worth including in a double with Mount Kilcoy.

Ok.....im going for Voodoo Lad.........Caulfield race 7 No3. Vega Magic is tough opposition, but an inform Voodoo is worth the risk.

Best Bet:

Rosehill Race 6 No8. Foreign Territory $3.40

Drawn well, horse will lead and could hard to catch. Back to 1400m and a winner at this distance previously. Clark riding for the Waterhouse/Bott combo.

My selection not good enough today Wadda. Had a great spot in the run and every possible chance but the one they backed late was too good.

And we''re out of the multi early ... Foreign Territory looked good hitting the straight but Paret was too good. 

All is not lost though as I've backed the other 2 to win ... hoping for at least 1 winner out of the 2 to break even on the 3 pick combination.

Yes the late plunge gets up...unfortunately when doing multis you dont have the luxury of getting on the plunges......

Nevermind, im going again with the other 2 and the odd multi with a few teams....see how we go.

Invinzabeel never really looked like it.

Vega Magic way way too good ... Everest-like form. 

Made some good horses look quite ordinary.

That is a very good dividend Wadda ... 3-1 odds for the best 2 horses in the race (if you had them in the right order!)

I had the quinella, but paid 1.90.

Haha, love the call “ What’s going to run second? I’m not sure it will be Sunlight, it will be daylight!

Wow wee!!

Edited by Dee Zephyr

And Nature Strip wins in commanding fashion ... another dead-set candidate for the Everest after that run. 

Sunlight might have needed the run but the horse was outclassed if we're being honest.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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

    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.
