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.

Here is Winx winning today ... 26 in a row with the large majority of those wins being of Group 1 status.  What a champion racehorse. 

The best in the World.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
