Ray Thomas (Racing Editor Daily Telegraph) was on SEN a short time ago and provided an update on the latest racing news. - Hugh Bowman cleared to ride Winx and Performer on Saturday. - Performer was cleared to run in the Slipper after being required to participate in a barrier trial last Friday. It was an impressive trial with the blinkers on. Hopefully no more Nutbush moves from the horse. - A very even bunch of juveniles competing in the Slipper this year in his opinion. Barrier draw is tomorrow. - Still unclear if Waller will head to Royal Ascot with Winx. The most bizarre news involved the grand old campaigner Chautauqua. The horse refused to jump out of the barriers today in a barrier trial for the fourth consecutive time. In trackwork the horse is running fast times but refuses to jump in trials. Future up in the air.

Heading out fellas, been fun again, go Despatch and go the Dees!!!!

Stiff, I took it in a multi with Despatch, oh well.

Time for some research Macca. Wondering if he’s on SA radio at all. I shouldn’t laugh but if there was a certainty today, that was it!!

He said he wasn’t comfortable ( pardon the pun) selecting for this race, it was a tricky race to rate or something to that effect. So this guy picks winners even when he doesn’t want to.

Me too....?

He’s picked the 1 Comfortable. I missed his 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Sorry Wadda.

Was just about to post the exact same Macca. She made up a heap of ground from 3rd last but I guess they didn’t have much choice from that barrier. Well done to the winner.

Goodness me, let’s hope that’s not an omen for our ladies tonight.

You’ve talked me into it Macca. A flutter at those odds can’t hurt.

Written By had to fight hard to keep that cheeky Sandbar at bay. The Slipper looms as a cracking race.

Just noticed the winner at Morphetville R2 was ridden by the trainer. Unless there are two Shayne Cahills out there. Nice divvy by the way.

Not a lot Wadda. In the end $1.65 fixed. Not sure if a higher price was on offer.

Yes, too classy, great front running display and never looked troubled Macca.

Decent price, yeah hard day coming up I feel, you and Macca didn’t leave me much choice. Liked the two you selected also. Despatch is a bit of risk at that price with a long layoff. They decided to give it a lengthy break after they gelded it. Maybe a complication followed but showed a lot of promise in two race starts. It’s not an overly strong field but I like the fact it is out of Written Tycoon and the McEvoy/Kah combination.

Best Bet. Morphetville R9 No. 5 Despatch. $2.90 Coming off a 65 week break but recent barrier trials have been impressive. Really struggled this week to find a “standout”.

I believe the overall moment was special, right up there with T Mac’s “ Genius” game winner in the West. The Melbourne roar after the goal was possibly the loudest we have heard at the G in a long long time. It felt bloody good to hear such a roar with so many MFC supporters going absolutely bonkers with elation and that would have been the case if any of the other 21 players had kicked that goal.

A bit more of a search on him found he’s building a reputation as one of Australia’s leading form analysts. Will keep a keen eye out for his tips. Also, I noticed yesterday “Lite’n In My Veins” won around the $2.50 price.

That’s what I thought lol, but I edited my post after a quick google search, CEO of William Hill Australia currently.

Whatever happened to Tom Waterhouse? I remember him popping up on the telly late at night spruiking his own company. Edit: Maybe I should have gone through a google search prior to posting. He’s the CEO of William Hill.

Some interesting thoughts in that article. We might have to pick our “Best” in Tasmania or Northern Territory. Good insight by him on those states. I don’t know much about him Macca and have only seen him on the racing.com channel giving his selection before each race at the track he’s at. He does have a twitter account but unsure if he gives any tips out. Liked his best betting story also. Safe to say Atlantic Jewel was slightly above average.

You’re right, no mention at all of a hotspot, after the news of a hotspot surfaced last night a sore toe seemed like a relief. If indeed there is one, i guess they’re hiding it. "I'm confident [he will play round one]. He's got a sore toe and he's had that for a month or so," Goodwin said as he enters his second season in charge of the Demons. If the above is true, why was T Mac allowed to play in AFLX and the opening JLT? I thought the players were straight into rehab if they felt even a slight itch.

Not a hotspot according to Goodwin. http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-13/dees-confident-sore-forward-will-play-round-one

My post was in jest as the poster claimed he posts them world wide.

The race caller didn’t even realise Fanatic railed through on the final turn and bolted two lengths in front. It happened so quick, you could hear his surprise 100m upon straightening.
