Dee Zephyr

Agree with you Macca, I've also come up with Ozi Choice and Thelburg as my top 2. After the claims they both meet Dan better at the weights again. An interesting runner according to the market is Lite'n In My Veins. Former WA horse and didn't really flatter in two spring runs but he was contesting group and listed races over in the West.

Waiting for the latest as we speak, I know connections are happy to have the "Dee" on board. As far I know they will push forward again but unsure if they will lead with him at this stage. Hopefully I have some news soon.

Spot on Macca, the "Dee" rode him to 3 wins in a row in the early part of 2016. The horse was red hot back then. Lets see if he can recapture some of that form on Saturday. I'll also be concentrating on the multiples for that race. He will add some value if he lands in the first 4.

Thanks Macca, Dan is running on Saturday. https://www.racenet.com.au/racing-form-guide/sandown-20171230/ladbrokes-info-hub-handicap-race-6 Michael Dee to ride, he's had success on the horse previously and comes in at 54kg. Juicy odds at the moment.

DemonlAN Zephyr has been nominated for a race this Saturday at Sandown. Im unsure yet if they will accept but this is his last chance to salute for the first/only time in 2017.

......and that's how it's done. Love your work Macca, nice dividend, I see the two placegetters added some value. Lol, I might give the Summer Cup a miss and look forward to your thoughts for the Perth Cup.

I got called into work for a few hours but made it just in time to watch it at the TAB. I didn't have a flutter but what a sight seing a champ lead and then kick at the final bend whilst others are under pressure trying to catch the leader. 100,000 packed that racecourse today and it was pretty loud.

Money back would be a win for me . I’ll be watching with interest tomorrow, hoping to find some nice dividends.

Hi Wadda, sorry to pry but is a pm a public message on someone’s feed?

Spot on Macca in regards to superstitions, I don't mind the occasional soccer multi and I find I have more luck when I decide to sleep and scroll through the scores the following morning compared to staying up and watching games live.

I hope so too, I just scrolled up to read Maccas post on his tips for the race. Nice dividend....

Good work Wadda on the quaddie with only a 4 dollar investment and a one out in the last leg. A win is a win mate, I can't remember the last time I got close to winning a quaddie.

Not a bad run setting the pace, found a few better today the Zephyr, almost held 3rd.

No pre race update so far on the Zephyr, trainer might be getting a bit lazy. Let's hope for an overdue victory.

I don't know much about this hockey apart from the fact the horse will carry 52kg after the claim. Some of the connections seem happy that Rhys McLeod isn't taking the ride though.

Hi Wadda, whilst we wait for the latest my mate thinks he's a decent chance. Although one of his best wins came at this track his overall record at Caulfield is pretty average to say the least so that's a concern. Dan should return to his usual racing pattern today of being on pace after the good draw. Good each way odds at the moment but when a horse hasn't won for a long time it's hard to back it with any confidence.

DemonlANd Zephyr has accepted for race 7 Caulfield tomorrow. Finally received some luck with the barriers drawing 1. Mitchell Aitken has been booked for the ride, the horse comes in at 55kg but after the claim will carry 52kg. Its been over a year since he has saluted, hopefully a bit of luck comes his way. Will update further later tonight or tomorrow to see how the Zephyr is travelling.

Epic Macca! Northerly looked gone before the bend as Sunline found another gear and what a cracking run by the then 3yr old Viscount....then the protest drama. Cheers for the memories mate!

Hong Kong provides some great racing at this time of the year and one of the most memorable and thrilling finishes I have ever seen happened back in December of 2000. https://youtu.be/RJ3V1Ht9dW0

Should have gone with you Macca....what a run!

So true mate!

Wadda, that's exactly how I saw the race. Jockey seemed a bit confused around the bend and ended up on the backside of 3 runners, there was clearly a run as you said on the inside provided by the winner.

I like the formula Wadda, he was $10 all day yesterday. Connections think he's a chance, track condition being the big worry. In saying that, he is 2 wins and two placings from 4 at the track. Both starts at this track over this distance he has run 3rd. Due to the emotional connection for the horse I'll always have a little something on him each time he races, his best is probably past him but he could surprise today from the rear. I won't be going crazy on him. Gosh, I've harped on about him lately, we must get him as the Demonland mascot when he retires. Probably a good thing he's been running during this off season, its made me forget about the end of season debacle a tad.

Received a text about the Zephyr a short time ago and it goes a little something like this. Pat Carey has decided to run the horse tomorrow. They view the wide barrier as an opportunity to alter his racing pattern for the race. They will ride the horse cold and see if he can run on, only once has he raced at the back of the field and although not by choice that day the horse rattled home for a close third. The track is a concern but apparently Pakenham has a really good drainage system in place and the track should dry up a bit.

Looks a tough race to pick Macca, I like Tom Melbourne again and will stick with him. Looking at the link I noticed 6 out of the last 10 Classics have been won by favourites and only 2 in double figure odds. I don't base my selections on past runnings but I do find the history of past races interesting.
