Did the rider of Big Parade lodge a protest? If not, I'm not sure that the stewards ever lodge by default In the UK & USA the stewards often do lodge autonomous protests but I can't remember the last time that has happened here Big Parade might have run it's race thus no protest ... just watched the replay - Big Parade looked spent

A Day at the Races
Got the early double with our picks along with the 5-1 win odds I got for Mamounia on Wednesday Had your pick to win in the big paying multi but was happy to use the place odds for 'WS' in a couple of other multi's And get this; I backed Kementari and it won - that's a first!! So Deep Speed (DZ's pick) will deliver a decent payout if it salutes!
-
A Day at the Races
I'm well and truly alive in my multi's with WS running on for 3rd. Got out to 3.10 the place as well Good get, Gorg

A Day at the Races
All 3 winning paying about 100-1 Using Witchchar Star for the place with the other 2 winning, the dividend is about 25-1

A Day at the Races
Grandslam has been scratched!
-
A Day at the Races
3 best bets in (so far) Mamounia has shortened but the value is there for any number of multi combo's The 3 winning in a multi is showing 250-1 (290-1 with a boost) whilst the 3 running the place is at the odds of about 12-1 (with a boost)

A Day at the Races
Got a big future but more so the way the way it won against that field (3 lengths to 2nd with a big gap to the rest) Ideal horse for the big sprints at the Valley & Caulfield A definite Blackbooker BH flew home again as it does but no match for the winner
-
A Day at the Races
Yeah I've gone with a wide exacta in the race ... bit like an each-way bet but that strategy has worked before when the value has got into the top 2
-
A Day at the Races
I got the exacta in the first so I'm up and running, Gorg Was only going to have a bet in the $500k event but the fields aren't too shabby and I'm having a day on the couch so why not! Savatoxl has been included by Steve so there's some value in the exotics if successful (including the exacta)
-
A Day at the Races
Or we could pluck the eyes out of all the choices I'm probably going to box 5 in an exacta and hope that my value/roughie choices can run in the first 2!!
-
A Day at the Races
Yeah they run from the shoot at Sale so only one turn over the 1100m/1200m (like Caulfield & Pakenham) And Lombardo has drawn well where as a few others have to work across to get onto the speed (notably In the Boat & Savatoxl) Lombardo is included! I'm going to include 'In the Boat' but 'Vainstream' is good value - ran a slick time winning 2 starts back ... at Sale!
-
A Day at the Races
Yeah I'd say so ... vaguely remember betting at Ascot (WA) previously on GF Including Sale today of course with $500k 'Country Discovery' A more than decent field too ... an exotic bet or a same race multi beckons! Thoughts? @Gorgoroth@Mr Steve@Dee Zephyr

The jockey (Alana Kelly) can claim 2kgs on Point Nepean
-
A Day at the Races
Same to you, DZ. Happy Easter! And I had Grandslam picked out as well ... J Kah just needs to get the horse into a nice position in the running (with cover) ... possibly 5th or 6th one-out from the fence (?) Seems a real progressive type Gorg ... drawn nicely for a good run on the speed. Can stalk 'Point Nepean' with a 3.5kg advantage in the weights (and over 2400m, that's significant)
-
A Day at the Races
2 best bets in so far and the place multi is already starting to show a bit of value (the win multi as well of course) There is some real value around at Sydney & Melbourne ... just a matter of getting a few collects so as to at least break even

Best Bet Saturday Caulfield R4 #12 Mamounia 6.00/1.90

A Day at the Races
Last big day at Randwick is where we've traditionally finished up on the best bets for the Autumn ... couple of big races too with the 'All Aged' & the 'Champagne St' Hopefully we can finish off with 4 winners!! You never know!
-
A Day at the Races
Yep ... if you mention a horse in that way you've always got to have something on it Even just 10 @ 50-1 is all it would have taken I'm kicking myself!
-
A Day at the Races
Well it was but we know that Think it Over isn't great in really heavy going so the trainer & jockey might have thought that they had nothing to lose by going down the extreme outside ... it just took off left! But it caught everyone out and was a brilliant plan anyway ... $2.3Million to the connections and you can bet that Nash Rawiller will get a decent 'sling' haha

The money has come for Anamoe ... into 4.20 now but the 3yo is going to have to bring its absolute best (I'm happy with the $6 I got)
-
A Day at the Races
I'm on it as well ... great minds and all that, Steve

Records we can be proud of
That's right up there in the 'best-of' trade results, radar But us trading up to get Oliver and the 'Strategic planning' to acquire Jackson were masterstrokes ... those off-season surgeries sure paid off leading into the 2019 season Trading up to get Bowey is another ... who is to say that he doesn't become a premier on-baller later on? Did he not spend his junior days as a midfielder?
