Haha, love the call “ What’s going to run second? I’m not sure it will be Sunlight, it will be daylight! Wow wee!!

My selection not good enough today Wadda. Had a great spot in the run and every possible chance but the one they backed late was too good.

Best Bet: Rosehill Race 6 No8. Foreign Territory $3.40 Drawn well, horse will lead and could hard to catch. Back to 1400m and a winner at this distance previously. Clark riding for the Waterhouse/Bott combo.

I’m leaning towards Sunlight Macca. 7kg less than Nature Strip and Tony McEvoy says she’s in good order after her recent trial win. Tony McEvoy on: Advantages for Sunlight - Class and the lightweight. Disadvantage - Nature Strip has been racing all winter and Sunlight is first-up. Should be a great battle and the $2.50 on offer might be worth including in a double with Mount Kilcoy.

Cheers Macca. I’ll follow Gator tomorrow. I do like Mount Kilcoy, I’ll do some more form tonight and see if I can find better value. I do have a bet going in the footy tonight. Parker to kick 2 or more goals and Sydney to win @$6. He’s on 1 currently. Thought I’d try my luck tonight and build a kitty for tomorrow, been a while since I’ve had a flutter on the footy.

Best Bet. Morphetville Race 5 No.8 MUSSOORIE MAGIC TAB Odds: $2.50 Promising 3yr old, won well last start and looks an exciting staying prospect. Is taking on some older horses but it drops somewhat in class. Wide barrier shouldn’t be a concern at this trip and looks a very good chance of winning. In other racing news, Captain Harry is going around again at $16. This time it’s back at Caulfield in R8. Much harder than Adelaide last week, the boys from work said the horse eased up when it got to the front a tad early last week and only got going again when the eventual winner went by him on the inside. I’ll also keep a keen eye out for Mount Kilcoy. Another exciting young stayer and the 2400m seems ideal again. That wraps up this morning’s news. #demonlandtracktalk?

That’s pretty much how I remember the ratings Macca although I haven’t looked into them lately. The first horse I was involved in won a Maiden in his second start and was allocated a rating of 62 post race. He went in as the top weight at Wodonga in his next race which he won and jumped to a 66. The article seems on the money. Interestingly with El, he was a 62 after his maiden win. Went up to 63 after the 5th in his first up run to Double Jeopardy, remained a 63 after the 5th to Nature Strip and went in as a 62 today after his 4th a fortnight ago at Sandown. The horse lost one rating point from that 4th placing. He is currently a 62 but unsure if the rating has been updated from today.

I missed the boat with the good place dividend Wadda. I saw $16 and $5 on TAB this morning and didn’t take it. Thought I’d wait. That was one decent plunge late.( It wasn’t me) I thought it was a very good run considering he was trapped the widest for the majority. Couldn’t get a decent spot. I’m not suggesting the horse would have won but it would have finished a lot closer. Anyways, on to Saturday fellas.

Spoke to mate a short time ago. Plan is to get the horse behind the leaders and take a sit behind them and let him go at the furlong. They will certainly need some luck to get to the desired position from a wide barrier. Horse had a jump out last week with a barrier blanket and the blinkers in an attempt to make him jump better. He’s been sprawling a tad out of the gates recently. He didn’t jump all that well but worked home well through horses. I believe blinkers will be on for the first time and hopefully it works out like it did for the Zephyr. The track could suit the outside horses later in the day or it may not. Hard to gauge how a track will play out. If the horse does get stuck 3 wide hopefully he can get some cover during the run. Good luck all if you have a wager.

Terrific place value at the moment. I was thinking the same bet Macca. If he can get the front without too much work from the wide draw he could be hard to toss from the placings over the 1000m. I will put a call through to mate tomorrow and post any updates tomorrow night or Wednesday morning the latest.

Thanks for that @Macca I can see it mapping out that way. Great preview....move over Gator. I had no idea about Gold Mag’s last 600m and i went to the track. That’s one serious quick sectional on the soft. Connections will be finding it hard to curb their excitement about the horse’s future.

Haha, I’ll be backing him as well Macca. I’ve had a couple of flutters on him in the past, not when he’s won of course. ? In other news, El Magnificence has accepted this Wednesday at Sandown. Race 5. It’s got the Dan Zephyr syndrome, drawing barrier 16 of 16. The race is over 1000m, back in distance will probably suit the horse. Bet365 markets currently have the horse at $13.

It’s a real shame Macca. The horse possesses one of the most devastating sprints I have ever seen on a racetrack. You never know though, they might try again with him. Such a unique situation in a way, I can’t recall a previous top line galloper being retired from a refusal to jump in trials.

Chautauqua fails to jump again. I think the horse took one look, saw Winx and realised how this was going to end, hence “ Nah, I’ll stay in the barriers thanks”. ? https://www.racing.com/news/2018-07-23/chautauqua-fails-to-jump-again

Nice one Wadda...funny how my BB was the only one to miss.....ah those odds of $114.

And that’ll be it for me Wadda. Once I see the dishlickers commence I’m out of here. Been lots of fun again guys.

The Suns were down by 29 at one stage Wadda. Kept Swans goalless in the second quarter. That would be the upset of the year.

Good run Captain. A bit wayward in the straight, almost said hello to the outside rail. Winner had an ideal run.

Captain Harry up in a minute at Morphetville. All the best to the boys from work.

Haha, bummer. It’s certainly been an entertaining afternoon nonetheless. Found nothing unfortunately, had a great spot but the winner was way too good.

Well done again Macca. If anything, the boosted odds have certainly added more excitement to the day.

Great start at @Macca. I hope these close finishes aren’t the order of the day. Not sure how many valves I have left.

It’s one of two things Wadda. 1. It’s meant to be our lucky day. 2. Tab knows we have no hope of collecting and is simply teasing us. I’ll take option 1.

Wow, I just placed my multi via the wife’s ( mine really) TAB account and after using the multiplier option it gave me 3x the odds. Instead of $38.30 my price is now $114.90. Let this be the day fellas!!

Haha, Brown will be too strong one on one in my opinion, unless they are using Howe to sit off him a bit and come in as a leaper/spoiler to limit the long Brown reach. This thread is going well early, a little bit too serious on the footy side of the forum at the moment. Our BBs on soon. Good luck all.
