@Dee Zephyr @Wadda We Sing @binman I'll post here occasionally during the off-season (May thru to September) but am going to be very busy at work for the next 2 or 3 months anyway ... may not do a best bet as I'm not sure I'll have the time to identify a standout. But all the best if you're having a dabble!

Monday Best Bundesliga Monday 2.00am $2.05 Eintracht Frankfurt Win & +2.5 Goals Match Score vs Augsburg

We went 0 for 4 today with our tips DZ which we've never done ... it was just one of those days but my punting strategy always includes a few bets at Sha Tin on a Sunday and a Saturday overnight double or 2 out of the feature events from the UK & Ireland. Small outlays can deliver good outcomes if luck is on your side. Apart from a number of obvious standout winners, we saw a number of very good each-way chances or roughies finish 1st or 2nd ... more so at Randwick & Caulfield. So if you got a collect or 2 from the exotics, the dividends were quite good.

Spurs vs Heddersfield on SBS tonight (coverage starts at 9.30pm) And if you've got cable or Optus, there are a number of games played in Europe scheduled well before midnight this weekend ... including Torino vs Cagliari at 8.30pm tomorrow night.

Interesting development David Gately has joined the Sky team so we won't see him on the racing channel from here on in. Still posts his tips up on Best Bets and today, the racing channel no longer refers to Gators tips - instead they are calling them the Best bets tips.

I'm guessing the connections might have kept the colours for luck Wadda A lot of the Weir horses have won since his suspension ... hard to know how many as the form guide for any of his former horses doesn't mention the former trainer. But it's quite a number.

That was nerve-wracking! What an absolute wonder horse - the mighty Winx! Joins the ranks of Bernborough, Carbine, Phar Lap, Tulloch, Makybe Diva & Black Caviar - all champions in their respective era's. Sunline as well maybe. Vain was great too. I'm in no position to separate them so I won't ... much prefer to celebrate them all. Winx - Champion!

I've put Harlem into a F4 but I'm only having a bet in the race because it's the last time we will see Winx race ... unless of course the connections change their minds!

Too good, too classy was Verry Elleegant. Another great prospect for the future Wadda Winx retires and then the onus goes to 7 or 8 very good horses that are a notch below ... the way things normally are/were before Black Caviar & Winx. As a punter, I prefer the latter situation but as a horse racing enthusiast, I prefer the former arrangement. And the horse racing enthusiast in me wins out. We are going to miss Winx once it is retired ... I would have preferred another Spring campaign and a 5th Cox Plate but it's not a perfect world.

She did whack that metal gate/fence very hard ... probably of no concern but it's the first slight hiccup since the horse was locked away on the inside in the Turnbull last Spring.

I think BM meant his 'other' bets at Randwick And if it is a swoopers track, Winx should win in a canter ... drawn the outside barrier too so ideal

His best bet got scratched out of the 6th race Wadda (Cool Passion) I do multiple exactas/trifectas so I look at all 4 of his tips in any given race ... but I only bet on the good betting races so if there is a shortie in any given race, I ignore the race.

JJ's tips at Morphettville - some excellent value to be found if he is on the money today.

I've done the early double from our 3 picks again Wadda (Saccharo & Dubhe) I don't want to be posting up 'That's 2 from 2!' without having a small wager on that possible/probable outcome. Got about 14-1 for the 2 (boosted) The 3 together offers fantastic value (68-1 non boosted) I like to have 1 or 2 double's anyway so I thought I'd use our choices. It promises to be a great days racing where it looks like we'll get a decent track at Randwick (finally) whilst there's some very competitive racing at Caulfield and also, there are 5 Black-type/Stakes races at Morphettville. As usual, I'll be using Gator & JJ's tips as a decent guide. Racenet Form Guide - All Races Saturday There are a lot of very good betting races and of course, the mighty mare Winx makes her final appearance. JJ's tips (Racing.com - Morphettville) should be up by 10.00am tomorrow but here are Gator's tips (below)... lots of value again. I use their tips to help with exactas with a couple/few win bets on their value picks.

Well, if you're well organised GY, the weekend can start whenever you like!

Isn't it great to go into the weekend with the job done! A terrific performance, right across the board. We brought energy, application, effort and were highly motivated. Our out-of-form players stepped it up and we just willed ourselves across the line. We were not going to get beaten tonight. Season back on track - away from home, under seige and we get it done. Not so long ago we were incapable of bouncing back like we did tonight. The talent is there. Tackling and pressure first rate, kicking to position very good and all of our players contributed. We bring that type of game on a regular basis and we will win more games than we lose this season. One win can change everything - confidence & belief returns thus winning against any team is possible. Anywhere, anytime.

When it's mathematically impossible And then there's always a chance that some team will do an 'Essendon' We are quite capable but right now, we're under performing to a large degree. We'll probably put in our best performance for the season tonight but that still might not be enough.

Getting in early this week but I've had my eye on this horse and this race (Sydney Cup) for quite some time. Godolphin, Charlie Appleby and fresh off a 2 mile triumph at Meydan (Dubai) Odds may drift too as it opened at $3 Best Bet Randwick Race 8 No.10 Dubhe $3.70

First things first Wrecker We need our more experienced players and our best players playing well If that was happening the hurdles in front of us are easier to overcome And if these players aren't match ready then rehab them and give up to 6 other players on the list a chance. Supporter expectation is then lowered but so be it. You set foot on the field you are deemed as 100% ... there are no excuses.

Can do more but again, it is only 1 bloke What is your view from an overall perspective?

Apart from Jones ... Harmes, Melksham, Petracca, T-Mac, Jetta, Hibberd & Viney aren't doing anywhere near enough as well Salem & Gawn can play better too. That is 10 senior/best players not playing up to scratch. In a nutshell, that is the issue. 3 other automatics are injured ... Lever, May & Lewis ... thus creating undue pressure on an undermanned defence. Our defence is also under seige because of our issues further afield.
