Nature Strip.....just wow! Love to know how many multi million dollar horses Darren Weir actually has!

Ha....that exacta on Nature Strip/ Sunlight paid 1.70!! Cant win!

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.

Agree Macca. I thought Sunlight could beat him today but that was a clinic.

Thanks Wadda. I was recording the game. 

 

 

Only kidding mate. ? They have a phenomenal knack of scoring quickly and reeling in big leads this season. Over to the Dees now.

To Gator's credit he did tip Nature Strip & Vega Magic today and that double was paying around about $3.50 early doors (with an odds boost)  I bet away from him looking for value but that didn't work! ?

• Trapeze Artist       4-1

That's a couple of smart bankers in a multi Wadda ... good luck with the other 2 picks although I see the Rabbitohs have got a bit of work ahead. 

My only other bet this weekend is in the Group 1 2400m Stakes race at Epsom just after midnight.  Cracksman is up against Poet's Word & Crystal Ocean whilst Rostropovich might get into the finish.

Yes they do Macca and i took them at 13+ so need to get a wriggle on..

Should have had the Dees instead!!

[Macca 16,173]

Video of a couple of Group 1's from the weekend (overseas) and it's worth having another look at Vega Magic blitzing them in the Bletchingly Stakes likewise Nature Strip in the Lightning Stakes

It's also worth noting that the confirmed Cox Plate starter 'Benbatl' won a Group 1 2000m race out of Germany on the weekend as well ... the time was a tad slow but the tracks are quite often on the dead side of good in Europe so it's more about the ratings.

g'day punters,

I can feel it in the air, the unmistakable spring vibe. One of my favourite times of year. Love the couple of months before the spring carnival starts in earnest. My mate and i usually start back up on our spring campaign in mid to late August so soon now. Can't wait.

In the man time will have to content myself with the dees still being in finals contention.

I might post my bets footy bet of the round on a Friday for the last few games and finals. I like my bet now of the swans to miss the finals at $3. Had an up and won footy betting season but have made a profit so can't complain. Was well up this round coming into Sunday's game and then managed to get them ALL wrong to break even.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

I would just like to wish all horseys a Happy Birthday on August 1st behalf of everyone here at Day at the Races punters club.

4 weeks till spring!

That would be great Binman. Although we made the thread mainly about horseys, i always like to post any other bet that i like across a wide range of sports. So feel free. I will certainly be having a look at your best.

Ha!  It's already all systems go for me Wadda ... the Missile Stakes to be run at Randwick on Saturday is my kind of trifecta race - a 10 horse field only but the quality is there with Kementari on top.  I fancy Showtime to run a good race first up whilst 'She Will Reign's' first up form is enormous - 4 from 4.

Yep its coming up fast !! Good luck with that one Macca. Does look to be a great field.

Since we are talking Swans binman, I had a look at the early market for our game against them. I realise the one week at time cliche but realistically speaking most of us are looking down the track ( not necessarily punt wise).

We are $1.45, Swans $2.75

If we get up this week and Swans lose our odds will reduce further in my opinion. When was the last time we were that short against the Swans?

A long time DZ. They do not have the pace to hurt us on the outside and we have them covered on contested ball, which is really the cornerstone of their 'brand 'and has been for many years.

That said 1.45 is short. But as we both know the odds are perhaps the most reliable indicator of the relative chances in any given game.

Last Friday, just before the bombers game.

I actually suggested the bet on a DL thread and advised if keen people should get on before the ess game as if they were to lose would come into about 1.80. I was pretty close!

Royal Randwick Race 7 No 2 Kementari $2.05

Cummings has got this horse forward. Win this and its in The Everest. First up goes well, a little short but it should be right. Get on before it comes in any more.

Best Bet:

Mooney Valley Race 8 Number 3

Trap For Fools. $2.30

Former WA galloper having fourth run in and should be hitting his straps fitness wise. Has improved each run this campaign and has some excuses in those runs.

By the look of it there’s not much pace here, the horse should be able to lead with Rawiller dictating the tactics and hopefully we see the famous dash away from rivals on the home turn.
