Class and a high rating wins out again with La Bella Diosa ... of course,  I wasn't on it but the gap in rating to the rest should have been a big pointer even over the shorter distance.  And the Hayes factor.

 

I’ve missed the early viewing of the racing today thanks to my beautiful wife having our daughter’s new bed delivered. 

Conversation went a little something like this.

Me: Hon, there’s someone at the door with a few big boxes.

Wife: Oh, cool....Moo’s new bed is here.

Me: Huh?

Wife: You know, the delivery I’ve been telling you about all week.

Me: Um.... Ok....does assembly come as part of the delivery package?

Wife: Dear God.....maybe I should join Demonland and post our plans so you can read them.??

The wife is definitely a keeper.

No good again with my pick. Maybe a tad too far back but taking nothing away from Fiesta. Was backed with late money also.

yeah, we will blame the ride on that one....hardly the horses fault.....reload on the other 3.

I reckon Oohood needed the run ... first up is always tricky as we don't know how far forward the trainer has the horse.  In the early spring races I much prefer trifectas so as keep it safe if my preferred runner isn't quite ready. 

Oohood normally has a bit more closing speed but it took a while for the horse to get going today.  I'm hoping that Sunlight ar least races on the speed for the same sort of reasoning. 

Streets of Avalon wins again ... should have followed up but I've had a couple of other collects so can't complain ?

Very spring weather...rain, sun, rain, sun....wind wind..

Gutsy win.  I thought they'd go past her but she fought really really hard to the line. 

Got to see the sectionals and last 600m but it's a good horse.  01:04.30 is certainly quick enough for the 1100m with that standard of field.

As an aside,  how good is Nature Strip?

Le Remain up now...........its on Racing NSW live if anyone doesnt have cable

Whoo hooo.....great ride James McDonald

Great win carrying 61kg! Well done Binman...

Money for jam Wadda ... that's 3 collects from 3 for me from our best bets so far (got the trifecta in the Oohood race even though it didn't run a place) What a marvelous idea!

Le Romain is a gun WFA horse.  Group 1 standard,  no doubt.  Carrying weight in these sprint races is overstated for the Champs.

Edited by Macca


01:08.62 for the 1200m carrying the big weight ... another likely candidate for The Everest. 

First up from a spell but well spotted @binman

Edited by Macca

Hartnell great run first up. Loves that 1400m

Come on Osborne....bring home the bacon for us!

And Egyptian Symbol ridden a treat by Tim Clark ... in classic style takes the lead,  slows them down,  kicks clear then hangs on.  A bit like the Zephyr in its last race ?

Another winner ... well done Wadda - top choice!  The 'A Day at the Races' crew come through with the goods.  3 winners from 4 is par excellence.

Osborne just keeps winning like a good horse ... it will probably do well at a higher level too.

Yep....won like a good thing. I was a bit worried about Land of Plenty.......but why was it such long odds?? It nearly won....i thought it was gonna get Osborne on the line.

Yep 3/4 is a great result for sure. All that practice over winter pays off.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
