Dee Zephyr

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.

If this racing caper doesn’t work out for us we could always start a team of 3 for dart pub leagues.

Good job Macca. I was going to have a go now at the next at Flem but with 20 runners down the straight....I’d be throwing darts.

Yes that’s right Macca. We’ve been near enough the mark with our selections. We’ve been doing this for a while now and have at least found some horses to follow, whether we are on them when they win is another matter, but like you said that’s the game. Regardless of quality running around, the Flemington track comes up a treat every time. Been watching patterns early on and will start my venture soon.

Good start to the day for one punter. Shortly before R2 commenced at Doomben the Sky host was alerted by Tab that a punter had a 15K multi going at $6. His first leg was the favourite at Townsville R1 which saluted into the favourite at Doomben R2. Edit: Miles Of Krishan wins the second at Flem. That was one of your previous bests @Macca from memory. Nice win price too.

They really need to introduce winter racing on Friday nights at the Valley. Beats watching some of these horror Friday night AFL games. Forgot to mention earlier. The boys from work have a runner tomorrow at Morphetville Race 6 Number 5 Captain Harry ($7.50). It ran a couple of weeks ago at Caulfield where it failed. Again, maybe just an interest runner simply because the Weir factor and choosing to take the horse to Adelaide.

That would be some win if we can get up tomorrow night Wadda. I notice the Dees have the wobbles in the markets after Hibbo’s quad injury. The races have been somewhat of a grind this winter, a couple of winners here and there have kept the ledger even to a degree. Bring on the spring I say. As @Macca stated - We’re due! A Best Bet multi win and a Dees win down at Sleepy Hollow? I’d like to see that!

Best Bet: Randwick R7 No3 - I Thought So $4.00 This is a very tricky race. The horse might go on with it now after breaking a run of outs. Hasn’t won on a Good track but he only just missed back on the 26th of May on the same track and distance on a Good track. It’s in good form, barrier 1 and with Shinn to ride, I believe it’s a realistic chance of winning. Haha @Macca Were we studying the form at the same time??

Anothe Gus article. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/angus-brayshaw-turns-around-a-career-in-jeopardy-from-concussions-into-a-rich-vein-of-form/news-story/997fa51ee958d28271f0afe65830879c Nice numbers from R6-R17 with 94% midfield time. Brayshaw has averaged 29 disposals per game, ranked 15th in the competition. He’s averaged 507 metres gained per game (ranked No. 9 in the AFL), six inside-50s (No. 6) and eight score involvements (No. 6) across those outings. Please be right Milkshake. Now all the Dees need is for the young gun — who is out of contract at the end of the year — to sign on. That said, it seems a matter of when, not if, that occurs. “I think that’s not too far away,” Melksham said.
