Strong win Wadda. Now for the rest of the "Best".

It took me a while to learn. I was one of those early days where I would follow a horse based on a horse absolutely flying home for a close up fourth or fifth in its last run. Those runs actually take a lot out of a horse and what looks like a "good thing" next start, would amount to the opposite.

Looks like the track is playing like that at the moment, although your first selection in Goldstream made up a lot of ground from last. Classic, I'll tell my mate to name his next horse "Punters Lament".

We're up and running, terrific finish to the first at Caulfield.

Show A Star into $2.00 after the scratchings. Only 5 running.

Lol, any win is a good win, the last leg is Race 8 No.9 - True Excelsior. $2.80 was its fixed price in the multi. Not sure about your question, I might have to look it up.

So.... a fella at work gave me his 3 "Best Bets" at the Valley tonight. I quickly rushed to put the multi on at $24. Leg 1 - Race 3 No.1-Despatch. Result-Scratched at barrier. Leg 2 - Race 5 No.9- Oscietra. Result- Scratched at barrier. Unbeliavable!! What are the odds for the same to happen in leg 3?

Now that you mentioned it, i must place a tri and first four straight out in numerical order. It goes with the theme of this race. Juicy odds again for the best bets combined and another selection could be added with Binman declaring his "Best".

I believe the horse above has a promising future. It's definitely a talented galloper and I'm sure it will be someone's "Best" very soon. It was scratched due to a virus or some kind of blood infection. Hopefully it's not too serious and we'll see if it can return after its short break. In regards to Show A Star, I thought the 1 and the 2 were the obvious dangers but the weight difference was the determining factor towards Show A Star.

My "Best" comes from Warwick Farm Race 8 No.4 - Show A Star.($2.60 Win) First look at the track but his last run (win) was very good. Pushed hard from a wide barrier to lead the field up, kicked away on turning and fought off a few late swoopers. Big drop in the weights from last start will see him carry 53.5kg. There are one or two in the field with early speed so it will be interesting to see if Tim Clark goes for the lead or if he'll be happy to take a sit just off the leaders. Currently it's only a 7 horse field, the $1.60 for the place might appeal to some that fancy the horse for a top 2 finish. Happy Punting!

I was browsing the form for the following race and noticed that each horse has drawn the same barrier as their saddlecloth. I don't recall ever seeing that with a random barrier draw. https://www.racenet.com.au/racing-form-guide/caulfield-20180210/schweppes-rubiton-stakes-race-6 Tricky race, does anyone think Rich Charm is a bit over the odds?

Lol Macca, I've only looked briefly at the Warwick Farm races and Egyptian Symbol is the one that stood out to me also. I also like Brave Song in R6 but it's up against Kementari. Kementari's form was very good prior to its Coolmore run back in the spring. Not sure if I want to declare Brave Song as my "Best" yet. I will do some more studying when I get home later.

Thanks Wadda. It was a terrific return for Ace High I thought. I see he's in the 4th line of betting for the Chipping Norton at $26 behind Winx of course but from the above I'm not tempted to have an early go at those odds.

Wow, don't be losing those tickets Wadda, glad they came to the party though. The only time they have been good to me is when I scanned a losing ticket just for the hell of it on the EBT one day and to my surpise it made that nice sound of " you have credit", it wasn't a huge amount but satisfying nonetheless.

Yes, it will pay out if your remaining selections win. Not at the original odds though.

By the way, we have ignited this thread, it's listed as "Hot" in the topic listing. Awesome work fellas.

I placed the multi with Neds, thats how they work. Maybe you're right in regards to the Tab, I'm not sure how the Tab works

Spot on Macca, I thought about that after having trouble mucking around with the Tab app for each way multis. I couldn't find a way to do them on fixed odds.

That leg is completely taken out (odds for the scratched horse deducted) instead of having odds of $126 for the four legs, i now have the combined odds for the remaining 3 runners.

I wanted to go to the Tab and check the cash out prior to the Dainty Tess race for my multi, I had a couple of drinks and thought better of it. The four horses you listed for Rosehill Macca, I put that on at $126 on the Thursday night. Kopi Luwak scratched so it only ended up a 3 leg multi and From Within was the only failure. My two multis missed by a leg each. It was only our first week trying this and we have better knowledge of some horses for future runs.

Imagine my pain when I would venture to the Tab on Saturday whilst living in Brisbane a few years ago to place a tote all up bet. No EBTs back then up there and your ticket gets printed on the back of the betting card you fill out. Same size as the ones down here, can you imagine putting 5 of those cards in your wallet lol?

Yes, the multi was fixed odds which you can place on different tracks. A tote all up/parlay (haven't done one for a while) is at the same track only to my knowledge.

I'll feel better if I say to myself that the barrier beat Dainty Tess today, nonetheless, I've had some fun today with our discussion.

All good Wadda, I've had a couple of drinks and the question sounded funny to me(in a good way), didn't mean to sound abrupt. Race is on soon, good luck with your tri. Yeah i placed the bet at the Tab just before you nominated Bedford as your best, could have cleaned up today. Yes the min bet is $5 at the Tab.

Cheers Macca, I could have collected already if I'd thrown Bye See in instead of Dainty Tess. I went with Eurack, Don't Give A Damn, Dainty Tess combo. Either way, it hasn't been too expensive and it's great that some of us have profited out of this.
