Redskins, Ravens and Pats.

A bit of banter between May and Lynch at a dinner the other night. From the AFL site. "We went out for dinner the other night on the Gold Coast," May said. "We were talking about the Anzac Day Eve game. He said he was looking forward to playing on me, but I said I'd probably be playing on the best forward and that's Jack Riewoldt.

Goodness me Macca, Withhold beat home 33 runners two starts ago and that run was in October last year. A field of 34 in a flat race? It’s common for the steeples, can’t say i have ever seen a field of that size on the flat. Withhold is 33rd in the ballot for the Melbourne Cup and $15 to win it.

No No No!!

Reading benefits : - Improves your concentration - Helps you relax - Can motivate you - Makes you smarter ( We’ve learnt a lot about bananas, so yeah) This thread delivers the above. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

Looks like today’s Cranbourne meeting has been postponed. Just tuned in to hear there was some kind of fall in the 4th. Higgins and Brad Rawiller the jockeys involved. Not sure the extent, but ambulances have been on the track for a while now. El Magnificence will have to wait for another day. Jockeys seem to be ok according to one of the stewards just now. Good to hear.

Hmmm....some questionable defending by Chelsea.

A bit of pinball in the box and United equalise. Come on Chelsea, come on. Goals are good I guess, just get the winner now.

Go Chelsea!! Are you watching it on Optus Sport? I’m having slight trouble with the connection at the moment. Yes Macca, I was telling a guy at work this morning I had a feeling the overseas horses might dominate the spring. I placed a small tri (boxed 6) with my initial selections. With the F4 I excluded Ventura Storm, Ace High and Youngstar after I saw the drift in the market especially with the latter 2. I added Homesman after the horse was mentioned by Properdee, Duretto (hoodoo horse) and Red Verdon. My win bet was on The Cliffsofmoher, I thought he ran a terrific race too. Edit: Never mind....just realised it’s on SBS?

Was a cracker Layzie. VAR played a huge part again. Bozza was spitting chips at half time and I mean he was going ballistic, he couldn’t believe City were awarded the penalty upon review and subsequently equalised. I’m pretty sure the bloke that scored the winner did it with his first touch of the game. 40,000+ in attendance. Edit: Real Madrid 2-0 down at home to Levante just before half time. Goodness me.

Good luck Macca, I’m locked and loaded for tonight after a good day at the races. Was fortunate enough to collect on a small percentage of the F4 in the Cup thanks to everyone’s input. Just finished watching the Victory game and it was a corker. The wife ‘tipped’ me the Melb City 2-1 correct scoreline at $11. Riding the wave so to speak. It could be a long night, Chelsea about to kick off.

I’m shocked Biff, seriously....how did you know I had a pet camel?

A 1st vs 1st protest, I’m sure it’s happened before but I can’t remember the last time. Gytrash left its run too late imo by the way Macca.

DEAD HEAT!!!! Mask Of Time refused to lose, great finish to that one. Edit: The aerial view showed some contact close to the post, will we hear more?

Having a quick look at the AFL tracker KK has been in the top 5 on the ground for total distance covered 6 times this year out of his 8 games. Lowest amount out of those 6 games was 13.8km and highest was 15.3km. Only a small sample and judging by the stats above his tank seems in good shape.

What’s going on here? I’ve missed the first 3 races, where’s Francesca Cumani?

One way traffic in Arizona so far this morning. Sounds like the Broncos have more fans than the home team.

Best Bet Morphetville Race 6 No1. Gytrash $2.70 Win Ran second by 0.2 of a length to Written By last start. For those interested El Magnificence (10) Race 6 will go around at Cranbourne on Sunday. From the 4 barrier they will look to box seat behind the pace and strike in the straight. Good luck all.

Best Bets. EPL Saturday at 22:30 Chelsea v Man Utd Chelsea win/over 2.5 goals $2.60 Spanish Primera Division Sunday at 03:30 Villarreal v Atletico Madrid Atletico Madrid win $2.20

G’day fellas, I think we are in for a cracking Caulfield Cup. I have The Cliffsofmoher on top. Terrific run in the Caulfield Stakes. Was last at the 400 and it really was an eye-catcher. I’m interested where Bowman will settle the horse during the run. Luck will play a major part. From barrier 3 it would be risky to settle in the rear end of the field like the horse did last week and hope to go around the majority of a big field or hope for miracle runs on the inside. I can see Hugh settling in the front half. Another slight concern is the 7 day backup. Best Solution, Ace High, Ventura Storm, Kings Will Dream and Youngstar round out my top 6 at the moment. Looking to box the 6 in a tri and first 4. The Japanese horses have experience with racing in big fields but I’m happy to pass on them at this stage. Runners of interest: Sound Check- Ran a 2nd within 0.3 of a length of Best Solution in its last start and has 7 wins to date. Duretto- Well, we all know about hoodoos and unwanted records. The last time a horse saluted in a Caulfield Cup from the one barrier was in 1941. Definitely worth something small each way and is a 6 time winner. Red Verdon- I like anything Ed Dunlop. Red Cadeaux became a favourite amongst Aussies. The key with this horse is Zac Purton, big time jockey. Will finalise my selections by tomorrow night, by the above I’m boxing the field.

I’m none the wiser either old dee, I was only playing along. How was the banana on muesli this morning?

Harmes to Selwood?

It’s on now Macca. I’m liking the The Cliffsofmoher at the moment and if the folks aren’t satisfied with the Caulfield Cup race meet there’s always Cranbourne on the Sunday where El Magnificence will make his return (most likely).? We should know in an hour or two.

I’ll admit I haven’t been a May fan but he wears the colours now and you have to like it when players show commitment in coming to our club. The club have identified a need and hope the members on here that rate May are proven right. All the best for your career in the Red and Blue Steven.

That was a lot fun, who are we playing Round 1?
