Dee Zephyr

How about ‘WhyTheLongFace’ ? Appropriate for both threads or too gloomy?

Ha ‘Showtime’ is good. Dan has won at 1000m before, I still haven’t heard from my mate with some mail. Personally I’m unsure with the drop back in distance. For now, i have something little each way on him. I’ll study the race a little closer to the jump and will do a small first 4 or tri also.

Lol, ‘ The Skip’. I’m easy fellas, we can keep the same order until we fail ( we won’t though)or happy to go with majority. Yes, I have been thinking for a while to change my name on DL. Suggestions are welcome. Teddy was the nickname growing up.

Two great games back to back on TV this morning. Late drama in both with the Flyers and Avalanche keeping their respective series alive heading back home for game 6.

The DL trifecta works for the first time. What a battle that was down the straight. Very brave by Le Romain and we almost had a $10 winner in the tri. Showtime third by a nostril, phew.

Didn’t that rattle home Macca? Proved the last start win wasn’t a fluke. Nice odds for Seabrook, I thought Long Leaf was a winning chance but was stuck 3 wide the trip and had nothing left in the straight.

Lol, bolter alright.......maybe Trapeze Artist gets rolled and we still end up with the right combo. The former Japanese ( Satono Rasen) galloper creates some interest in the All Aged. Now with Waller and hasn’t won under 2000m.

Spot on Macca, I thought the horse would rail up and go whoosh, like the first two in Dothrakis race. Edit: I meant in the the Holy Snow Race.

Dothraki loomed as the winner but as the caller noted the horse’s run stopped quickly. Plenty of racing left to make amends.

Winning selections are in so here’s the final piece of the puzzle. Selections for 2nd and 3rd: 8. Tom Melbourne 11. Showtime Hartnell was the other obvious choice but I couldn’t fit 3 into 2 and wanted to add some value, not that it would make much of a difference anyway. As @Macca stated previously, members can add extra runners if they choose to do so.

It’s on Sunday Wadda. Race 7 3.50pm. I’ve looked on a couple of sites for odds but they’re not showing yet.

You’re up around Ballarat? I’ll flick you the old owners pass to head down to the track and get the Zephyr over the line. I also like the Best Bests so far. Maybe, just maybe they will salute to lift the mood on Demonland this week.

One way traffic in the Penguins game yesterday. They should close it out at home in game 5. Leafs V Bruins about to start, looking forward to this one.

Ha Ha Macca, I thought this would be easier than trying to find a best bet. I have 4 horses down for the place at the moment, hoping binman picks one of them so I’m down to 3.

Best Bet: Randwick Race3 No.2 Dothraki Current odds: Tab $2.70 Ultra consistent gelding. Only one unplaced start in the last 5 and that was by only 3.9len. The dangers I came up with in the race are Burning Passion (3) and Bolero King (8). Dothraki beat both of them home last start carrying 59kg. He carried 2kg more than Burning Passion and 6kg more than Bolero King on that occasion. He meets them much better this week at the weights and for that reason I make him my top selection. Respect for the top weight also coming back from 2 Group 1’s. The Zephyr has accepted at Ballarat on Sunday. Race 7. Very surprised they would choose to run the horse at 1000m. I will have some mail by Sunday for those that would consider a buck or two on him. Remember, still on a 17 run losing streak. ??

Vegas Golden Knights sweep the LA Kings. The Golden Knights became the first NHL team to sweep a Stanley Cup playoff series in its inaugural season. Bravo!! The games were a lot closer than the series score suggests. Four 1 goal victories to the Knights. Caps get back one on Columbus to keep the series alive and it looks like the Wild are up against it going back to Winnipeg 3-1 down.

Anti climax. They didn’t accept with Dan Zephyr on Saturday. He’s nominated for a race at Ballarat on Sunday but we’ll worry about that if Saturday proves less than fruitful.

Lol, well done Macca, PL eliminated indeed. $6 for 100%. We could worse than that. That was a great dividend for the race you mention above, you’ve always said it though, the bigger races generate ridiculous pools sometimes, hence the decent dividends.

The playoffs are indeed frantic, I watched the Boston v Leafs game this morning and it was non-stop action. Check out this ridiculous save by the winning goalie.

Done deal Macca. No pressure on me because I know you three will box the trifecta with your winning selections.

Dan Zephyr has performed ok at set weights. He’s had about 3 or 4 starts. 3rd in the Gold Bullion at Pakenham in 2015 to Burning Front, 3rd again in the same race in 2016, this time to Grande Rosso and Burning Front. A 4th by 1.9 lengths at $51 to Redzel in The Heath back in November 2016. Those days are truly behind him now unfortunately.

http://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Weights.aspx?Key=2018Apr21,VIC,Caulfield These are the fields for Caulfield at “weights” stage. Acceptances are tomorrow morning. Will go through all his form now to see if he’s had a start at weight for age.

Also, the Zephyr is nominated for two decent races at Caulfield again this week. One is a set weights race, I don’t think he’s ever had a start in one of those, I’ll have to check.

Come to think of it, Macca is spot on, the onus falls on the 4th contributor. Happy with more suggestion fellas, I don’t want to blow the first trifecta. @Wadda We Sing have your leathers ready!! Make sure you’re in the film clip

That will work Macca. I’m still putting my hand up for the 4th contributor this week.
