A Day at the Races
Here are the replays of the weekend's Group 1's ... both here and overseas. Couldn't find the 'Preakness Stakes' though. Will post up later on if available. The Goodwood (Morphettville 1200m) Doomben Cup (2000m)

I see Dan Zephyr is entered for race 5 at Geelong tomorrow. Only 5 in the race too!

A Day at the Races
There's a couple of overseas Group 1 races coming up later tonight and early tomorrow morning ... I haven't had a bet in the Preakness Stakes (8.48am) as it's hard to see 'Justify'* being beaten and it is too short - Good Magic could run 2nd to the odds-on favourite though. I don't mind 'Limato' (each-way) in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury (12.40am) ... it should get into the finish. *If 'Justify' does win the Preakness as expected it will be shooting for the triple crown in the Belmont Stakes held on the 9th of June.

It was such a wide open race (Doomben Cup) and the exotic dividends reflected that ... we now know that Comin' Through can run the 2000m and it won in impressive style.

Yep - I'm happy with 'Life Less Ordinary' Let's get on!

So here's how our trifecta is looking with 1 more pick to come from @binman Doomben Cup Race 8 ... W/2/3 Oregan's Day No.12 W/2/3 Tradesman No.10 W/2/3 Satono Rasen No.7 2/3 Comin' Through No.2 2/3 ???????? If BM doesn't get back here in time we can either slot in our own choice or if someone is confident with the 5th choice then go for it. We should wait a bit though.

A Day at the Races
We've also gone with the Swans 1-39 and the Saints +25.5. Waratahs 1-12 rounds out the 3 pick at about 15-1. I'll probably multi the 3 picks with Noire and/or Rich Charm.

A Day at the Races
Wrong race Wadda - I've had a first4 in the Goodwood all the same. I've marked Voodoo Lad & Vega Magic on top but Viddora and a few others can win the race if they get a decent run
-
A Day at the Races
And my best bet is ... Rosehill Race 9 No.2 Noire $3.30 Trained by Waller and also, the Sky Thoroughbred crew like its chances as well. The 3 adds up to about 22-1 combined in a multi.

A Day at the Races
Nice going there Wadda ... hope you get it. Waiting on the others with their sporting best bets but I'm giving the Waratahs another chance at home against strong opposition. Tahs (1-12) over the Highlanders $3.75

A Day at the Races
So do they win out of turn Wadda? It seems that way sometimes. I reckon a lot of my best bets have won their next races rather than the one I nominated them for ?
-
A Day at the Races
It is a 400m - 500m straight dash from the barriers to the turn at Morphettville but even though Vega Magic is a fast starter it still may be caught wide with so many decent sprinters in the race. The race is a bit of a lottery to be perfectly honest but Voodoo Lad has real claims.
-
A Day at the Races
I could find quite a few that can get into the finish in the race but no standout winners ... but that's just me. It is more like a Group 2 race in that sense. The 3 we've nominated all have claims though Wadda. The Goodwood race is all the more harder to figure out. I'm not sold on Vega Magic yet it is JJ's best bet.
-
A Day at the Races
Satono Rasen is my pick but not with any confidence ... this race has 'Box5' written all over it. The good news is that it could well be a healthy dividend. So it is back to you to finish things off BM ... good luck.

Looks like the Doomben Cup it is then DZ ... and it's over to you to kick things off! Good luck!

We're due for a change of order for the trifecta combo as well. How does this look - we all rotate one spot and we go with the new order for 4 weeks (?) W/2/3 - Dee Zephyr W/2/3 - Wadda We Sing W/2/3 - Macca 2/3 - binman 2/3 - binman
-
A Day at the Races
Yep ... the Doomben Cup seems an easier proposition all things considered.

A Day at the Races
@Wadda We Sing @Dee Zephyr @binman Found 3 races this weekend that are likely candidates for our combined trifecta - amongst them the 'Roma Cup' from Ascot that has a quality field from the mostly local WA horses. The G1 Goodwood has a field of 20 comprising a number of crack sprinters whilst the G1 Doomben Cup has some classy runners as well. At this time of year I'll restrict my betting to these 3 races only but more so 2-5-5-5 First4's. A small outlay to hopefully win big ? Doomben Cup G1 WFA 2000m $650k The Goodwood G1 SW+P 1200m $1Million Roma Cup G3 WFA 1200m $150k

Ended up slightly in front for the day landing 2 doubles but it could have been a real bumper day - Demons winning easily was a good end to proceedings though. The dividends in the Doomben 10000 were quite remarkable when factoring in the quality of horses that got into the finish. All it needed was for the 2 favoured horses to finish out of the top 3. But English, Impending & Le Romain are all class gallopers.

Box the 5 and you got it ... I did everything but. Ugh!! You got the winner and 2nd DZ ... the first 4 paid in excess of 2k with our selections (if boxed)

Yep, Le Remain was a head off running a track record at its last run - albeit over 1400m. However, as you said, that's a good form line in terms of finishing speed and it can get a good position in this race as well (it should settle just behind 'In Her Time' in the running if the speed maps are accurate) So it's over to @Dee Zephyr to finish off the combo.
