Just to clear things up ... we put forward our own tips but putting forward 'received' tips are always welcome. Everyone loves the hot tip. If there is a clash, we can sort that out as individuals. So the above conversation is a case of cross-wires rather than anything else. Anyway, anyone got a tip for the Valley tonight? ? The fields are a bit on the thin side with a host of BM64's on show.

There is no need to apologise PD ... we each put forward a tip and the unwritten rule is that you steer clear of a race that has been taken up already. The tips are for the benefit of others so having 2 tips in the 1 race defeats the purpose of the concept. What we are doing here is a departure from the usual way of receiving tips ... which can often leave the punter scratching his or her head if there are a multitude of different tips in any given race. It is more of a team concept here where we often trust each others tips.

In the post directly above yours DZ already has a tip in race 6. Do you have another one PD as we don't want to be betting against each other.

Best Bet Flemington Race 4 No.2 A Prince of Arron $4.60 (Win)

Another fabulous line-up of races for Derby Day with each race having at least 3 or 4 standout runners that readily come to mind in. For those who prefer the exotics, it's a punters paradise. I'm back to my default mode of Box5 trifectas but as always, an element of luck is always involved. Feeling reasonably confident, all the same. Finding the best bets is tricky as well ... a number of our previous picks are running around again including Sunlight, Oohood, Osborne Bulls, Cliff's Edge, Le Romain, Don't Give a Damn (Rosehill) and a few others.

Well I'll take some sporting joy elsewhere anytime Dd82 ... the Red Sox had a dominant season and were fully deserved victors. I'm the first to admit that we have a salary cap advantage over many of our rivals but you've still got to get it done. The curse of the babe is well and truly a thing of the past now. Hopefully our Demons can break our own curse (if it exists!) sometime very soon.

Summed it up well Gorg and from early on it looked like whoever had the ball last was going to win ... Packers had that possession and then gave it up with a fumbled return. Annoying. Rodgers would have almost certainly gotten the team into a field goal position otherwise and then it's up to the kicker. I thought we played a good game all the same and it was the best we've played all season and with the Vikes losing again today, we're still a chance for the division. Next up for Green Bay is @ the Patriots next week (SNF) ... should be a cracker. Brady vs Rodgers only happens once every 4 years at a minimum. Bring it on! Rams @ Saints next week is another potential beauty ... late arvo game.

Looked impressive all the same DZ ... the horse is going to win more races, that's for sure. Depends on where they place the horse but with that 1000m speed, the metro wins will come. I just had a look-see today but it got around the final turn nicely and looks to have a bright future.

Well we won't be getting an 80,000+ crowd for the season opener although we at least aren't playing away from home. We might get 35k up to 50k to the Port opener however on the back of winning 2 of 3 finals in the just completed season. Hopefully we get a couple of decent blockbuster home games before the QB clash ... it should be noted that we will be the away team next season in the ANZAC eve game against Richmond. Our crowds should generally be on the improve as long as we maintain our winning form so our financial concerns have dissipated somewhat anyway in that regard. What we do need is a big spike in prime-time games on free-to-air TV ... which is related to the potential sponsorship dollars moving forward. We are now ready for the big stage but we're fighting against the endemic thinking that rewards the Victorian clubs with huge memberships and extra-large supporter numbers.

Winx just seems to be getting better ... didn't get out of 3rd gear. Bowman gave the horse the perfect ride and the horse was not extended. However, 2 lengths to Benbatl, 5 lengths to Humidor and 8 lengths the Avilius. I reckon they just keep racing the mighty mare ... certainly the Autumn carnival but why not another Spring campaign including another Cox Plate?

I will look out for it on Sunday DZ ... as well as that race the $200k Sale Cup looks an interesting race with DK Weir having a couple of runners including 'Plein Ceil' which would have to be a decent show. In other news 'Latrobe' is out of the Melbourne Cup and will instead run in the $2Million McKinnon Stakes on the last day of the 4 day Carnival. Decent prizemoney for a alternate race hey? Would Winx run in the McKinnon? Anyway, read more at ... RacingPost.com

It was a very good win by Runaway in the Geelong Cup, all the same. Can't say I had it amongst my chances but not to worry. Runaway will have to rely on a hefty weight penalty to get into the Melbourne Cup now. The race should probably make a horse exempt for the Cup in my opinion. Here's the race ...

Week 8 we're playing for just the 1 point ... there's 1 or 2 standout road winners but putting 3 together might be a tricky exercise. Good luck!
