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.

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 ?

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

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.

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

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
