8 lots of tips in so far ... A shout out reminder to @DemonDave @titan_uranus @layzie & @Dr. Gonzo Remembering that 2 points are on offer this week. -
More Pub Rock ...

My main interest was the +2.5 goals line for the match ... seemed a 'moral' with this clash. Didn't watch as I'm in full footy mode this weekend. Home match for Tottenham too so it could have been presumed that they'd have gone at your blokes.

We need to something ... the loser goes home. Now playing with house money after landing the trifecta with Miss Fabulass. The 'Frankel' filly looks to have a big future. A huge turn of foot. Wonder if Singo has shouted the bar yet? He's got a nice horse for the future!
-
Winx just way too good for that field ... the Turnball Stakes & Cox Plate awaits but the mighty mare is as good as ever. Hard to see Winx getting beaten and there is talk that the connections might continue on to the Sydney Autumn. Why not? Nice collect for you DZ with 'I Am a Star' ... it was due but the odds were attractive. Casey need to get a wriggle on
-
With Fighting Harada out I had a bit on 'Brutal' instead ... fought extremely hard to the line and won. Looks a very likely type leading all the way with the long straight involved. Casey playing well in the Prelim ... keep the wins coming! ?
-
Scratched at the barrier BM ... the horse can't take a trick!
-
And Cliff's Edge couldn't get out after having the perfect run ... not to worry, the win last night makes up for any losses today. Still, there's a ways to go today DZ
-
We have come a long way. Men on a mission this year but we'll be playing finals for the foreseeable future as well. The future is bright. An even contribution from all the team members too. Goodwin has got us playing as a real team - no weak links, total team. If we bring the same intensity next week, we'll win and progress. Lookout Eagles, we're coming your way!

3 Best Bets so far ... Flemington Race 3 No.5 Cliffs Edge (place only) $3.20 Randwick Race 5 No.2 Pierata $3.40 Flemington Race 8 No.3 Native Soldier $3.30 Combined odds (boosted) 33-1 Good luck all and Go the Mighty Demons Tonight!

No, Rodgers has overachieved. Much like Robbie Flower did at the Demons. Robbie would have gotten into the team of the century if our team had have had more success. The cruel reality. The Packers have underachieved in more rrcent times but it's not like we've been a basket-case. Many NFL fans of poorly performed teams are probably envious of Green Bay. But from an overall perspective it is different again #13 # Green & Gold ??

Good choice Wadda ... was tossing up between Native Soldier & Cliff's Edge and then saw the place odds for Cliff's Edge and that swayed me. Seemed overs for such a classy galloper. And Native Soldier has real speed and is getting better. A good 'Get-On' Enjoy your trip mate ... we'll be barracking hard here for the Demons tomorrow night. Most people I've spoken to have tipped us so we're in with more than a chance.

Best Bet Flemington Race 3 No.5 Cliff's Edge - Place $3.20 (win showing $14.00) Getting back to it's right distance after starting off its campaign over 1100m 2 weeks ago ... back in February ran 2 sizzling times with a win & a 2nd in two Group 3 races over 1200m & 1400m. Hutchy's best bet of the day as well (to win) but the place dividend is decent enough.

I might end up going 1 - 4 - 4 - 4 DZ as I reckon Egg Tart & Ace High can get to at least 3rd. The Winx race last time threw up an unlikely 2nd placegetter and that F4 paid just under $3k! A 1 - 4 - 4 -4 F4 costs the same as a box 4 trifecta. If I was to go one-out for 2nd I'd choose 'Unforgotten'. It's a good horse. And I've marked Santos on top as well but 'Neutrality' and the smoky 'Prophet's Thumb' might run Santos close. I'll probably do a 3 - 5 - 5 trifecta on the race and will include 'Charge' in the placegetters as well. At this time of year I up the ante a bit but am still quite fussy with the sort of race I invest into ... the Santos race & race 3 at Flemington ('The Sofitel' formerly known as the 'Tontonan Stakes') are the only early races that I'm interested in. And the Makybe Diva Stakes has got a crack field which includes the grey from the West 'Pounamu' ... the field looks way too tough but the wide expanses of Flemington might suit. There will be easier races for the horse of course. Interested to see how it goes, all the same.
-
Some top fields engaged for Saturday which includes Winx running around in the George Main Stakes A F4 with Winx winning is an obvious option although there are only the 8 runners so an outright 2nd could be the go as well. Unforgotten & Le Romain are likely candidates although Egg Tart & Ace High will be running on you'd reckon. Anyway, in terms of good betting races, I've marked the following 5 in order for the weekend ... Flemington Race 7 Makybe Diva St. G1 Randwick Race 7 Tea Rose St. G2 Flemington Race 5 Bobby Lewis Hcp G2 Flemington Race 6 Let's Elope St. G2 Randwick Race 5 Bill Ritchie Hcp G3 The Group 3 Newcastle Cup is being raced on Friday as well ... the race following the Cup is a decent affair also (Cameron Hcp G3) Good field's in both races.

Great question by Gorg all the same The other part of the argument is all the new gun QB's just starting out or newly established Protecting the QB's has its own rewards.
-
Aesthetically pleasing - Rodgers by a street Overall effectiveness - Brady easily Most effective = Best. In my opinion = Yes.
-
Maybe ... but it's a hypothetical so we have almost certainly never seen Brady's true brilliance 24/7 When he is called upon he has been brilliant. So Brady wins out because of the success that cannot be ignored. And we can't also can't ignore the 'Super-fan' element that surrounds Rodgers from non- Green Bay fans and the resentment and dislike that can often surround Brady. So there is bias involved but not from this here realist ?? And Joe Montana could well beat the both of them!
-
Brady although Rodgers is still Super-Great Brady (thanks to Beluchick to a large extent) has had a lit more success and that matters. And Beluchick is the greatest coach of the modern era ... in any sport, anywhere.
-
Top rate start for your Jets and a real good start for Darnold - got picked off with a return TD with his first ever throw but he joins exalted company in Brett Favre in that department. Did well from then on though. Highest winning margin (31pts) in Darnold's first game too since ... Tom Brady in 2001. Heady stuff! Your defence took Detroit apart with 4 picks as well. Apparently they got a read on Stafford's play-calling (hand signals) so kudos.

63 first acceptors for the Cox Plate and it is being reported than 9 of the acceptors are overseas horses but I counted 37. Am I missing something? If horses are here for a while do we now count them as Aussie horses? And are the NZ horses now counted as Aussie horses as well? I remember a time when the NZ horses were regarded as the 'Raiders'. It should be noted that it doesn't bother me much at all where the horses come from although I do reckon there should be some sort of limit otherwise we may end up with not much representation at all ... we're mainly breeding sprinter/milers these days. Top quality too but there's a dearth of 2000m+ quality Australian bred horses (Winx and about 10-12 others aside) Here are the 63 first acceptors
