Not to worry Wadda, the run was good considering. Slow tempo, crikey we could have walked and beat them to the 1200m mark. The jock wanted to be closer to speed I felt but was sitting a little wide early and rather than staying trapped decided to take it back which I thought was a good move at the time.

I think we should send our stayers to Europe during the spring. While the good overseas horses are here we can try and pick off a few staying races over there. Good win by Hunting Horn, is it in calculations for the Melb Cup? You wouldn’t think a stop start tempo would suit in a small field at the Valley but there you go.

Eagles, Buccaneers, Panthers.

Been a while since we played the Eagles at the G. May be time they come to us.

Saturday Best Randwick Race 6 No.7 Master Of Wine $2.40 Well, I’ve narrowed the Cox Plate down to about 10 runners, as open as it’s ever been. I think it might be heading overseas. Castelvecchio might be worth a little something each way at the weight.

Nice work Macca and good call on Haky. Used a bonus bet on Supernova so no real damage there, was lucky enough to get on Long Jack in the Classic. Apparently this colt was too ‘fired’ up in the mounting yard its last two starts hence the not so flash showings, must have behaved today, thought it won well. Interested to read the crew’s thoughts on the Cox. Shaping up as a ripper.

I’m on Supernova, have to stick with it after backing it last start.

Remember reading on the MFC website the other day Luci we recruited Libby Birch at the expense of Pick 8. Trade perhaps? Not sure about our second round pick though.

Monday Best Italian Serie A - Monday at 00:00 Sampdoria v AS Roma AS Roma Win $2.10

Was mentioned half way through the season Weid might require hip surgery. Has he overcome the hip complaint or is this something the club will have to manage?

Brilliant staying performance by Mer. Well done to the ‘landers that were on it. Was on Constantinople and it put in a real eye catcher for the Melbourne Cup. Watched the replay and read the stewards report so no bias kicks in before judgement. It was unlucky but you make your own luck in this game. Should be a quality two weeks coming up.

Melbourne Cup Demonland Marquee here we come!

Constantinople and Arcadia Queen are my picks.

Chiefs , 49ers, Patriots

Saturday Best Caulfield Race 7 No. 9 God Of Thunder $4.60 Thinking they will go like the clappers in front which will enable GOT to get a cosy run behind them and swoop home.

All so confusing yet exciting. Hoping there’s a forward landing at our doorstep later out of this.

Not sure about harder last year I-D. I think we were smarter and more controlled when showing aggression. The ‘Unsociable Dees’ of 2017 cost us the 4 points a few times, Lewis, Jesse, Salem and Bernie all copping weeks which didn’t help our cause at all.

We were ‘Bad Arzzez’ in 2017 remember. Humble is the word that springs to mind now.

Mahoney enters the building. Intriguing to see if this power play is used for a player trade. Maybe Yokozuna’s Mail?

Finally, I can contribute something a little useful on this topic by selecting undecided.

Same here Macca, found itself in an awkward spot during the run and ran home well but the winner was way too good. I always tell myself to remember these Pat Carey roughies over longer distances but I never do lol. Naivasha second at $100.

Monday Pick. Brazil Campeonato Monday at 08:00 Sao Paulo v Corinthians Selection: Over 2.5 Match goals $2.80

Me thinks this carnival for the big races will be impossible to predict more so than previous years. We have new names popping up with eye catching performances. You just don’t know where to look at the moment, intriguing to say the least. Feel free to post up your Boxed Tris and F4s, I need all the help I can get.

Bingo. Well done binman, very strong win.

The suspense is killing me. Can we have another clue please? Preferably something like the amount of behinds he kicked this year.
