A Day at the Races
Looks like Shoals could be set for Royal Ascot now. A dominant win against some very likely types. The 3rd placegetter would have put me out of the trifecta anyway. Tri paid a lazy 9k+ so there are a few happy campers.

A Day at the Races
Yep ... I keep looking at the horse as well. It's a good field but Shoals has been forgotten

Land of Plenty wins! I've done a saver multi so alive here.

There it is again ... Lite'n In My Veins wins again!

JJ changed his best bet of the day to Savapinski in the last ... he's done that before but was probably looking for a bit of value after the scratchings in race 2. Silent Warrior well beaten though - another 2nd but the 1.60 for the place was a reasonable return considering there were only 7 runners.

And I got the trifecta based on his tips - not a big return but a win is a win Wadda!

Corey was still lying on the track at the 300m mark when they were in the back straight ... scary moment and hopefully he's ok.

JJ's tips are up on Racing.com ... I might do a few 2-5-5 trifectas based on his tips (I'll add 1 extra horse to his first 4)

A Day at the Races
Lucky I got on last night with those 3 with Silent Warrior shortening the way it has ? Not that I thought you'd pick Land of Plenty ... I just liked the horses chances anyway. Good choice Wadda. The Robert Sangster Stakes is a good betting race and now that Viddora is out, any number of horses can get into the finish.

3rd tip is in (forget the golf, Ogilvy missed the cut!) Here are the 3 ... Cronulla (1-12) over the Parramatta Eels $2.75 Waratahs (1-12) over the Auckland Blues $3.10 Melb Storm (1-12) over the Dragons $3.00 It's the only sports bet I'm doing this week Wadda apart from maybe a Sunday only pick 3 or pick 4 involving the NBA & the NHL (and the Melb Storm) I rarely get close with sports multi's thus the switch to the joint effort.

A Day at the Races
Got word back that it will probably be NBA Sunday (our time) ... could be anything though Wadda. When it comes through I'll post it up. I'm also looking forward to the 4 big races from overseas ... late tomorrow I'll post up the links again but I've picked out my choices after finding a bit more info. Knowing a fair bit about the runners makes watching the races all that more worthwhile - and of course having a wager on them more so again.

The 'Land Of Plenty' tip from the pundits is more to alert those reading this thread that it could be used as an add-on for multi punters. I'll throw it into a few 3 race multi's. I reckon 3 is about enough with the horses but they're are still very hard to get. Again, low risk with a small outlay.

Sportsbet is my standby betting agency when Ladbrokes fall short with the options. They've got the golf top 10 up and available. We look to get around 15-1 up to 25-1 for the first 3 tips in one bet and then add on the golf tip in another bet to win big. Small outlay of course so the risk is negligible.

3rd tip in ... Wells Fargo Championship - Geoff Ogilvy Top 10 finish ... paying $8.00 He is currently tied for 7th at -3 ... three shots off the lead. One for the 'wider' exotics.
-
A Day at the Races
Well, Silent Warrior should win then ... because JJ is due? Glass half full here Wadda. I watched the 2 preview shows on fast-forward last night and then listened out for the best bet on RSN this morning and the consensus tip is 'Land of Plenty' in the 7th at Flemington tomorrow (No.8)
-
A Day at the Races
Turns out they did get a bit of rain in Adelaide yesterday. A Soft6 at the moment but quite windy ... could get back to a Good4 but a Soft5 is a possibility (according to the 'Experts')
-
A Day at the Races
My best bet for the weekend - I need to get back on the winners list so I'm going to go with JJ's best bet - decent odds too! Morphettville Race 2 No.8 Silent Warrior $4.00
-
A Day at the Races
I've got 2 best-bets in Wadda ... the other 2 might take a day or so though. One mate has gone early and my Super Rugby tip kinda jumped out at me at first glance. I'll post up the other 2 tips when I get 'em in. Cronulla (1-12) over the Parramatta Eels $2.75 Waratahs (1-12) over the Auckland Blues $3.10

A Day at the Races
JJ's has tipped Sopressa and then Savacool in the Oaks. And he is leaning towards Catchy in the Robert Sangster (reading between the lines) Mentioned that barrier 8 is a good one for the horse with the 400m dash to the turn. Anyway, here's our trifecta ... W/2/3 - Savacool W/2/3 - Think Bleue W/2/3 - Sopressa 2/3 - Pleasuring 2/3 - Temple Of Bel
-
A Day at the Races
Yeah ... but we won't start talking about it until tomorrow night. I haven't even had a look yet but will probably go at the Super Rugby again. I'm envisaging some more NBA, AFL & NRL from the other 3 but who knows? Whenever DZ ... the last 2 picks are your domain. The 'Get On' crew like Savacool & Think Bleue especially but 'Gator' has 'Temple of Bel on top of Sopressa if that's any help.
-
A Day at the Races
I suppose that's up to DZ but whilst there's been a bit of rain in Adelaide today the forecast is for mainly fine weather tomorrow & Saturday. The track is still graded as a Good4 so it probably won't be downgraded to slow. We should have a contingency plan for scratchings though Wadda and I suppose whoever is in the position that DZ is in now could get to make the executive decision? Picks 4 & 5 finishes off the bet as it is. It will be interesting to see JJ's tip but I'd be surprised if it wasn't one of our top 3. There's a few more that can get into the finish and Identifying those horses is the other half of the battle.

A Day at the Races
Yeah I like Savacool to win as well but 'Think Bleue' has good speed from the barrier and the horse inside it (Pretty to Sea) should bring your pick near to a leading position. It could be a bit of a mad scramble to the first turn though Wadda and that's why my pick is a Weir Horse that has drawn a decent barrier - 'Sopressa' The inside gate should see the horse get a nice run in the race and it's in decent form. So here's how we sit with @Dee Zephyr to finish off ... W/2/3 - Savacool W/2/3 - Think Bleue W/2/3 - Sopressa 2/3 - ???????? 2/3 - ????????

A Day at the Races
Yes JJ is on 'Get on' but he only gives out his best bet of the day. Sometime after 8 30pm Racing.com had his tips last week but they only went up on the Saturday.

I hadn't thought of that DZ Maybe leave it as it is for 4 week blocks? This would be week 3
