Dee Zephyr

Tyson anyone??

Good idea Macca. Im more than happy to go with yourself or Wadda for the “emergency” pick.

Rated a Soft5 at the moment Wadda. Boom Time should be too good for this lot. Returned with a great first-up run.

G’day binman, just realised we need one more selection from you for the placings when you get some time please. Cheers.

Good luck Wadda, hope they hang on for you.

Nice work lads. All later races so no need for me to do the Zephyr Dash to the TAB early. Weekend off and looking forward to some good racing.

Yes please Wadda, can you get me an audition? My towering height of 170cm should easily get me a gig as a jock. Nice pick btw, good value.

I might be playing it safe but Oregon’s Day is my selection. Untried at the 2000m but after watching her last start win it suggests the extra 200 shouldn’t be an issue. Terrific win pulling away impressively late. Looking at all her form, the mare seems quite versatile in regards to settling positions and from barrier 2 J Byrne shouldn’t have an issue gaining a good position from the jump.

Looks good Macca, I’m happy to go with that. While I’m at it, here’s my Best Bet: Flemington Race 6 No.1 Rich Charm. $3.00Tab A return to winning ways last start after being far from disgraced earlier in the Autumn. Likes the track and distance , goes very well on the soft and even if it dries out, the horse has won half his starts on a good track. Interestingly, Udyta Clarke resisted running in the G1 Goodwood this weekend and opted for Flemington. Clarke stated she didn’t want to draw barrier 1,2 or 3 down the straight but I’m willing to put my JJ hat on and back what I feel is a classy horse. Here’s the latest on Rich Charm. http://www.bloodstock.com.au/news/story.php?id=28165

I’d like to nominate the Doomben Cup Macca. It’s Tom Melbourne time!!! ???

I have a severe case of PL right now, I hope you fellas mixed our trifecta selections around to get a collect at least. I’ll feel much better if you did?.

Scone Wadda, paid around $2.20. Was in heavy traffic toward the back, found some gaps upon straightening and finished off with a brilliant burst nearer the rail. Love it!! The DL Black Book!

I’ve noticed a lot of our Best Bets for a particular weekend pop us as winners in following starts. Osbourne Bulls a few minutes ago, Hear The Chant earlier today, French Emotion last week at very good odds mind you. Might have to do a scroll through all our picks so far to see how they back-up.

Dan Zephyr into $12 fixed from $26 in the last 10 minutes. It wasn’t me. A lot of money came for the horse but it weakened to finish well back.

It’s Spargo’s 3rd game today. We’d be happy with four from him but he should be aiming at 8 goals ?. Good luck with the multi, nice one. Is the Cats v Pies game at Geelong?

Pressure is on fellas. I had a few earmarked depending on all three winning selections. For second and third: 2 Impending 13 English Good luck all, especially if you have a dabble on the Zephyr. Haven’t received any word as yet but i do find it interesting the TAB info Centre has the horse on top of the list in regards to Best Form. I can’t work that out to be honest.

No longer Wadda, a third gamer kicked 7. Never heard of Ronke before tonight. Anyway.....let’s snag a racing multi and trifecta tomorrow.

Mentioning the wide barrier in regards to Houtzen in your post Macca reminded me of a fellow punter up north stating to me wide barriers in short trips at Doomben don’t have much success. Went on a little search and found the following article which I found interesting. https://www.racenet.com.au/news/the-stats-that-matter---doomben-barriers-20180202 I also discovered the Doomben 10,000 was the richest sprint race in Australia when the name was changed from the Doomben Newmarket in 1947. The purse was 10,000 pounds hence the name change.

Cheers for the bets above Macca. Nice work on the Scone Cup, not a bad dividend at all for the F4. Lets hope we have two wins in Brisbane tomorrow. Also, the Zephyr is running at Caulfield tomorrow. Long odds and a bad barrier again, I’d say they might scratch the horse with this rain. Leicester is a big player according to a couple of co-workers that part own horses trained by Mr D Weir.

Welcome back Wadda. Mate, if they want a few extras for Michelle Payne’s movie make sure you put a good word in for us. It’s pretty wet here also. Predicting Swans to win 48-42 tonight.

Best Bet: Doomben R9 No.2 Higher Ground Tab Odds $3.10 Terrific win last start nosing out its stablemate in G3 level. Usually likes to settle midfield and shouldn’t have any trouble finding a good spot from barrier 6. Up half a kilo in weight but it looks like it’s a classy colt out of So You Think.

Is this Real or Overreaction?

Hi Macca. I am leaning towards the Doomben 10,000. Not fussed either, happy with majority. If we can get the right combo and the two favourites miss out on the win the tri could show a healthy divvy. I don’t mind the Derby either, although I do feel it’s slightly difficult to gauge 3yr olds in a long distance race unless we are talking an out and out star. Even then you might come across a less fancied runner that just loves the long trip and can run all day and outstage a hot pot.

Well done Nathan Walker. The first Australian player in the NHL to register a point in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Assisted in Washington’s first goal in game 6 against the Pens. https://www.russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2018/05/07/obviously-alex-chiasson-scored-assist-nathan-walker/

Haha. I’m actually a little surprised Max hasn’t come in a tad from the $26 mark. He’s ranked in the top 3 players in the league at the moment. The disparity in odds between Cripps and Oliver for the Brownlow has me scratching my head. $34 for Cripps currently in a team that’s winless yet Clarry is $101. Is Clarry worth a couple of bucks also?
