Vega:

Vega is the 5th brightest star in the night sky and at only 25 light years away is one of the brightest stars in our neighborhood. Vega has been extensively studied by astronomers and is regarded by many as the most important star in the sky next to the sun. Some believe it may be the most likely place to find life outside our solar system. In 12000 BC it was the North Pole Star. In Alaska, Canada and most of Europe Vega never sets. Unlike other stars, it has a unique bluish-white color.

Based on an observed excess emission of infrared radiation, likely to be the result of collisions between objects in an orbiting debris field, Vega appears to have a disk of dust. Stars that display an infrared excess due to dust emission are termed Vega-like stars.

.....so, now you know why its called Vega Magic.  :)

Best Bet:

I know its a little early but ive had a good look, and with Santos and the other one out, Performer is standing out i reckon. Won at track and distance and good price, just hang on Bowman!

Here are the 6 Stakes races to be run on Saturday to keep an eye out for ... Wadda's best bet 'Performer' is running around in the feature race at Rosehill (Race 5) whilst we'll get to look at Avilius,  Brutal & Multaja in the other bigger events. 

And there are a good field of sprinters assembled in the Carlyon Cup @ Moonee Valley. 

But the import from the UK Avilius is my big watch in the Premier's Cup (Rosehill Race 7) ... too short for a best bet but could be an inclusion in a running double, multi or treble.  Exceptionally impressive first time up last start.  Went whoosho and it was done.

Best Bet ...

Rosehill Race 2 No.4 Impavido $5.50

I like its chances in this small field.  Going for an early collect and Ron Dufficy from Sky Racing has it on top as well.  Tim Clark on board and he's in decent form.

Thats an interesting one Macca, didnt see that last time it ran. Is it being set for the Cups? $1.85 atm is ok for a leg in a multi.

Best Bet comes from Rosehill Gardens

Race 6 - 3:05PM VISIT MONACO MING DYNASTY (1400 METRES)

Number 3 Danawi $3.80

Talented galloper and has just run into one better in all starts. Running on home track, this could be the day.

Ha!  I'm forever getting those 2 courses mixed up Wadda - same deal for Ascot & Belmont in the West. 

I'm all-in on trifecta's at the weekend ... can't find a standout winner at the Valley in 9 races!  Even the Get-on crew were struggling.  The fields are strong though so finding the 2-5-5 & 3-5-5 combinations was quite an easy exercise.

Rosehill is much the same for the majority of races.  Some strong fields there as well.  Should be a really good days racing at both venues.

Sorry, but i had to call it. For a second there i thought, wow racing at both Sydney venues!

Yeah thats really why i took the horse i did just couldnt find anything else. Although when in doubt there is always Jamie Kah in Adelaide. Seriously every 2nd ride shes winning. Look for a Weir/Kah combo perhaps.

I read Chautauqua is having a barrier trial at Rosehill in between races. If the horse jumps it could receive the loudest roar of the day. Fingers crossed.

Here's the replay of Avilius winning 3 weeks ago (you'll have to log on to view)

It might be being set for the Epsom Hcp which is run on GF Day (when we win our 13th flag)

Scott who?

In other news ... click on this link to view the Group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes run at York on Wednesday. 

A crack field of 8 were engaged in the race - the 'Creme de la Creme' of Europe in a 2000m classic.  2 or 3 of the runners may end up in Australia this Spring although we know that Benbatl is definitely coming for the Cox Plate.

Whoa what a trecherous day. Struggling to find a best bet. Rosehill super tricky with 3vyear olds coming back and soft with rain to come. Playing the valley as leaders track.

Best bet a quirky one. Summer sham a place. Will get out in front and be very hard to get past.

@Macca Seems some money has come in for Impavido. Into $4.40 on TAB. What’s the best price you saw?

5.50 enhanced at Laddies is still available DZ.

A place is fine Binman, often its a better pick as long as the odds are reasonable. Have ya got a horse and race number there old chap?  :)

All set to go fellas, Saturday morning chores are done, mind you it only consisted of a trip down to Godfreys for a pack of vacuum bags. 

Gosh, you can feel everyone’s fingers hopping to the keyboard these last few days. 

Should be another great day’s racing. 

Some news on Santos, pulled out of today’s race with a very minor issue, should be good to go for The Run To The Rose On the 8th of Sep.

Got in a good position, looked a little flat the last 200-300m. 

Chautauqua was the big story Macca. Missed the start by 8 lengths in the trial and finished 2nd to Zousain by about a neck in the end. He wasn’t fully stretched out but the panel said he won’t pass after fluffing the jump.

The stewards have laid down some quite stringent rules that the horse has to pass so it might be the end.  But who knows?  The connections might keep pressing forward.

    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
