Wadda We Sing

It should be up, if there is a horse problem, then it should say betting suspended. The Commonwealth games has 4 events up......The Doncaster is up and thats in April. If they sell tickets to an event, the market should be up. Wake Up TAB>. I like getting on early, and putting the ticket on the fridge with a magnet! Its fun.

Well i went down to the TAB to see if i could get on The Orr Stakes, and it wasnt up. I thought it would have been by now surely? TAB up to their usual shenanigans already?.....one day ill go get a bookie!

Well CF Orr Stakes huh, here we go. Two of my fav horses here in Tosen Stardom and Voodoo Lad. Tosen has placed over the distance 1400m and begins his journey to The Doncaster 1600 and The Queen Elizabeth 2000 both at Randwick in April. Voodoo Lad, 19 placings from 24 starts (10.7.2) has good form over this distance including a few wins. More will develop as we head toward the race in a week and a half.

Thanks to Macca for the suggestion. Thanks to Demonland for the thread title change. Cheers guys.

For the bigger races, i have been known to stop the entire club!

Yeah, we were blessed to live through that era. A lot of the grounds are still there, i hope they revisit it again. I played Lawn Bowls for many years on a Saturday, and would dash inside to watch some of the bigger races, much to the horror of my teammates and opposition!

Well spotted. Ill be following its every move.

I still think Saturday arvo is the best time for footy, but thats just me! Yes i really like that aspect to, as i often dont have a clue as to what race a horse had to go to prior and what it leads onto. Its a really great resource. Ive had a bit of a mixed bag over the years. There was time there when Caulfield was nearly impossible to pick. It seems to be a bit better these days. I guess ive had my best results at Flemington, but as i used to live in Elwood, i still consider Caulfield my local.

Awesome work Macca. Looks like things do hot up next weekend. This is what i mean about keeping this thread. Ive just realized how much information weve put together already. That is a really great calendar.

I guess when you think about it, Winx has already lost 6 races in her career, so a loss is not the end of the world, especially with regards to future breeding dollars. Shes won over 1100, 1200 and 1400 in her career, albeit early days, in fact her 1st four races were over these distances. She often trials over shorter distances, 900, 1100 etc. There must be some kind of form there, or they wouldnt nominate. With 12,000,000 on offer, a lot goes on behind closed doors, including a lot of pressure from Sydney racing people to get her to run in their big race. I would say yes, depends if she goes to Europe or not and what those results are like. Bit hard to see her running in The Everest 14th Oct and The Cox Plate 28th Oct 2 weeks later. So its probably a case of nominate for all, and then make decisions depending on results.

Well done guys, i was pre-occupied today, but i would have had Werther for a place. Nice collect for you. I like those trifecta combinations. Bring on the Autumn. Winx was 4.50 in her 1st Cox Plate.

Yeah, could be an idea i guess. Personally i like the idea of winning real money tho, kinda gets me more inspired. Maybe an actual punters club where we pick a quaddie and put it on, say 10 bucks each or something? Ive done it with mates in the past and have got some decent returns. What race kicks off the carnival? Is it the CF Orr Stakes? Thats in 2 weeks at Caulfield, so not long now! Also can anyone think of a reason why Winx is nominated for The Everest? Its a sprint isnt it?? Currently 16/1

Ok Macca, thanks......i will then. I was just wondering about the prize pools. Even though theyre big races in Japan (and also Europe later) what are the pools like? Is there much interest here? I just noticed Bowmans been suspended in NZ, so will not ride Winx in the Apollo Stakes.....interesting.

Yeah, it was flying before the 200m mark. You can see it kept to the one pace after that. Hope hes ok, think it shows promise for sure D77.

A Day at the Races it is then. Ive requested that title change to the OP. The others have indicated a like, so ill take that as a yes.

Yes, thats it Macca, theres no rush. Lets get it right. I kinda like the idea of retaining this thread as there is some really good info to refer back to, such as your trifecta combinations etc. as well as some excellent videos. (others will now read these as well). I kinda like a Day at the Races, as it has a slightly iconic feel to it, as well as a bit comical. It also says exactly what we are talking about. A day at the races. A general sports betting thread is fine with me. Im also thinking about a footy punting thread to go onto the Footy club site. It may stop all the annoying posts in the post match about betting against the Dees. If people dont want to read about punting, then they just stay away from the thread.

I remember you mentioning Santos D77. He looks a likely type. Its good to be able to follow a horse where we have some connection to the stable and possibly some heads up info. With Dan on the sidelines, maybe Santos can be our new horse.

I PMd the OP requesting the thread title be changed. If i dont hear back from them within the week, ill start a new one.

A Day at the Races is perfect. Brilliant. Done. I agree with you re other sports and reading to much stuff, its tedious. I was more thinking along the lines of what you said about attracting more punters. But Binman has now proved your point.

I guess The Horse Racing Thread is the one then, as horse racing inevitably includes punting. So im happy with that then.

Welcome aboard Binman. The more the merrier! Look forward to reading your insights as well as the other guys. Ok Macca, perhaps we should just stick to racing then. I doubt there will be mush interest in an other sports punting thread, so im happy just to keep things as they are for now. Lets just change this thread title then. Binman do you know how to do that??

I think you can punt against your own team, because it can lessen the pain...haha......still cant bring myself to do it. Were we really 11/1 to miss the finals........golly gee, we really screwed up didnt we. I notice there are some pretty annoying betting types after matches yes. We are bound to get the odd annoying punter i guess, but thats the downside of expansion...haha! So maybe people will go to the punting thread in the future rather than annoy the other posters. I like to have a 3 or 4 leg multi on Afl games, picking the under or over 39.5 spread and either side under 15.5 for the close ones (you also snag the draw) you cant split. Ive done really well on it at times and always happy to share the love. Its also good mid season when there is no racing on. Are you ok also with starting a new thread as well Macca? That title ok??

Oh nothing really, but it was in a box because i was somehow quoting myself....nevermind.

Also rather that get OPs and Mods to try and change the Thread title, lets just start a new one. We can always come back to this if need be. I nominate that we call it, "The Punting Thread." Because people may also want to post about multis etc on Football games inc The Mighty Demons....as well as the races.....Thoughts??

Not sure what i did wrong here, too early for me on a Sunday i gues......just read the above.
