A Day at the Races
Couple of very good Group 1 races at Sha Tin tomorrow. 'Beauty Generation' should win the mile race but 'Conti' is a real up and coming lightly raced 5yo and it could run BG close. Moreira on board Conti (11-2) but Zac Purton is on Beauty Generation (1-8) In the Sprint race Mr Stunning will take a power of beating but DB Pin, Beat the Clock, Fifty Fifty & Little Giant are all racing well and Mr Stunning might have to go around all of them to win (if it settles back) Sha Tin - The Stewards Cup 1600m ($1.8Million Aud) Sha Tin - The Centenary Sprint Cup 1200m ($1.8Million Aud)

Is that 4 winners in a row or 5 DZ? Racing.com just called and you're needed as a replacement for Gator!

You've reached the last 4 out of 32 Gorg and SB's are hard to win ... so whatever happens from here, you've contended well and can contend well in the future. My view on team sport is that you have a good list that is constantly being improved on, never bottom out and make sure you're in some sort of contention in any given year ... and if you get enough goes at it you'll eventually win big. The obvious key is to have X amount of good players in various positions. And that's what the Rams have got. Rest on your laurels and you'll go backwards at a rate of knots.

Brad Davidson tipped me into Nahuel in the closing credits on Sky's 'Form Line' show last night ... got on at $11 and it won whilst starting at 5-2. My rather small wager was part of a much bigger plunge! Davo is a more than decent tipster of NSW racing too - always looking for the value runner.

Yes GtB ... I have picked KC but if I wouldn't be betting against the Pats. So heart rules the head on that pick. I like Andy Reid too and would like to see him win a SB. The Rams for Gorg as well but I picked the Saints only because they're at home and that is a big advantage for New Orleans.

Couple of Listed races at Gosford coming up on Thursday ... both good betting races too if you can sort out the form. There are numerous chances in either race. As for the weekend, there's a dearth of quality races although the Listed Kensington Stakes at Flemington sees 'Champagne Cuddles' making a return to racing in the 1000m dash.

It will be one hell of a match-up. Same goes for the AFC. In the end, we got the best 2 teams from each conference so bring it on.

Yeah, I was hearing Foles to Tate a fair bit but must have been on the earlier drives. Speaking of drives, good teams seem able to have long drives as part of who they are. The Saints being no exception with that 90+ yard, 18 play drive that seemed to go on forever ... proved the difference as the Eagles just couldn't get hold of the ball and then keep it. Yet, a couple more completions on that last drive and you possibly/probably win the game.

Hard luck there @Dappa Dan ... only radio my end but it sounded like the Eagles put in a mighty effort. The Saints covered Tate very well who seemed to be Foles' go-to man (more so late in the game?) Stopped your run as well but you still could have won the game with an extra completion or 2. But at New Orleans is always difficult and the home crowd noise via the radio coverage was deafening. Going up 14 - 0 had no effect on the 12th man. It will be the same next week for the Rams who will also need to find a way to quell Rivers, Kamara, Ingram & Thomas.

Rams win in impressive style with a supreme running game being the standout feature ... either at home to the Eagles next week or at the Saints. Either way, the Rams have got their game going again - they're going to be hard to stop.

Not exactly home field advantage for the Rams with so many Cowboy fans in the building ... it's more like a neutral field. Dallas 7 Rams 3 after that Amari Cooper TD. Edit: And just like that the Rams go out to a 20 - 7 lead with 2 minutes to go in the first half. Dallas with the ball. The Cowboys don't seem to have an answer to the Rams running game - a massive 162 yards already with Anderson & Gurley dominating.

NFL
KC way too good ... smashed the Colts in yards gained especially in the first half. But the surprise was the KC defence - superb. The stats were padded-out in the 2nd half but the Colts were never in it. All that without a Mahomes TD pass so the upside is there as well. At home again next week vs Pats or Chargers.

Hammers win again and now up to 8th after defeating the Gunners for only the 2nd time in the last 20 meetings between the 2 clubs ... close to 60k at the London Stadium too. Pellegrini has done a remarkable job with a squad that isn't exactly star-studded. Strange seeing Samir Nasri running around for West Ham but he played very well tonight and is a welcome addition. And the word is that Arnautovic could be leaving and the destination might be China. Spurs vs Man Utd is the feature EPL game on this weekend ... Monday morning at 03.30am. I'm tipping we'll see a few goals in the game. Might go 3 - 2 either way.
