    I was very impressed with the bloke yesterday ... level headed,  really knowledgeable and you could tell that Bruce was quite impressed too. 

    I usually leave the form in SA & WA till last and to be perfectly honest,  the form from those States is often just too hard for me to work out anyway (save for the big races)  James' tips creates a shortcut which might just pay off. 

    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.

    Good question.......took the money and..? i know he sold Tom Waterhouse.com to an Asian corporate and they kept the name......try the Cayman Islands maybe?

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

    Lot of science and a lot of luck as well.... If you aint got the luck.......The Adelaide Cup is such a good example of that i thought....

    That was a great read thanks Macca. Interesting that he worked at Tom Waterhouse.......that would have been an eye opener.....still dont know how you can have a betting agency when your mum is the head trainer in the State.   ....and your dad was......well, not great with a can of paint....

    Some good fields this weekend and most of the races were up on the futures at the TAB.

    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.

    @Demon77   @Wadda We Sing   @binman

    Do you blokes know much about James Jordan?  Works as the SA form analyst for Racing.com & Channel 7.  Seems to really know his stuff and even McAvaney seemed very impressed with him during Monday's Morphettville coverage. 

    Where can I get his tips?

    Here's a feature article about James from a few months back

    He goes to quite some detail in working out how a race will be run ... worth following?

    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.

    unless i missed something (entirely possible) i didn't see any denial of a hotspot by goody or even any mention of one

    did say a sore toe for 4 weeks

    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.

    Looked like he was going to mow him down......will we take the 2nd in our strike rate Macca?

    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.

    Your back D77.... :)

     

    Lol, been out and about but always find time to jump on and have a sneaky look. Even managed to catch the cup on the phone. Fanatic didn’t give up at all, I thought Ormito had it the last 200m.

    The Newmarket Handicap & The Randwick Guineas (2018)

     

     

     

    Had to watch the Newmarket replay twice then Macca. Once to watch the grandstand side only, twice to watch the far side. Terrific race though.

    Shillelagh not running a place knocked out my saviour Multi.....nevermind.

    Same here....disappointing run. I don’t think many horses have made up ground today from the back except Merchant Navy and Brave Smash.

    Didnt know where to look was right...that was really hard to follow...and the call was confusing.

    It was interesting to hear the jockey of Merchant Navy post race state that the horse lost sight of Redkirk Warrior and switched off a bit late in the race because the horses split to two sides.

    Some of the comments from the losing jockeys were priceless. Jockey of So Si Bon when asked after the race “ Na no good, horse needs to be gelded”. ?

    Edit: Craig Williams looked devastated to lose that race in his comments. A lot of praise for the horse but you could see he was gutted. I am a big fan of Craig Williams and his professionalism.

    Mixed reactions there ... took a special horse to defeat our pick but I wasn't going to make Redkirk my best bet anyway.  Mind you,  I did get the trifecta which payed very well considering the first 3 were my 3 picks to win.

    Anyway,  we've still got 3 picks going (or at least I have)

    Good work Macca, you might have to post one   “Macca Tri Special” a week for us. That along with the “Wadda Quaddie”.

    Mixed reactions alright, it was a terrific race in the end.

    Still alive here with the system 3. 

    Edit: I’ve also taken our Best bets in a place multi only just for a saver. I thought the place value for all was decent. Like you said, it’s about finding ways to make a profit.

    Bugger...not far off........your first hunch on Redkirk was right Macca.

    I didn’t know where to look, Merchant was coming, then all of a sudden Brave Smash shows a scintillating turn of foot and looks the winner but the Warrior does it again. Stiff fellas.

    Redzel returns to the winners list.

    Great win, I really liked the ride and tactics on Super Too, just go for it son and catch me if you can. They did but it hang on for a gallant 3rd.

    Edit: We are on in 5.

    That was a nasty fall for Hugh Bowman ... I've rewound the race a number of times and it looks like the horse just suddenly goes sideways under pressure.  The horse goes to the left whilst Hugh goes to the right. 

    Hope he is ok ... apparently moving now after initially laying motionless. 

    Just watched the replay of the race. Did the horse get spooked? You’re right Macca, suddenly stepped sideways. That’s two falls today. 

    • Shocked 1

    Did anyone catch the latest on Jack Hill?

    He had a horrible fall in the first at Adelaide and layed motionless up to the time they turned their attention to Flem. I only caught a bit prior to the second race in Adelaide and I believe I heard he’s conscious and talking. 

    Hoping all is well, the fall looked terrible.

    Portman was heavily tipped on Racing.com this morning....just ran 2nd last. The bolter won by 5l.

    Heavily backed too, a work mate had all his multis centered around Portman, thought it was a “good thing”. It was caught a bit wide but disappointing all the same. 

    The winner could have gone another lap without being run down.

    The Flemington track is a beauty on a sunny day. Quite picturesque.

    Spot on Macca. I was mainly referring to the overall spirit......which i enjoy and thats us all working as a team. It been great and id like to keep it that way. Its just a tweak, all good things need a tweak now and again.

    I saw the end of Get On today, but yes i see what you mean.

    I noticed a best bet on there was Shokora Flem R5. What does anyone think of that horse?.....its not a great field.

    6.00 the field

    She’s a promising filly. I was on her each way last start and it was a terrific run coming from the rear. She looked the winner at one stage.

    The first (Rimraam) and second ( Bring Me Roses) horses in that race three weeks ago have gone on to place in their next starts against quality opposition. Judging by that I can understand the logic behind it.

    I’ve noticed my “ Roughie” might be running with 3 legs today, it’s blown out to $31 now. I must be missing something....

    Ok now we have Binmans Best pick in we have:

    Flem  Race 6  No.11  Merchant Navy  5.50

    Rand  Race 7  No.3  Kementari  3.00

    Flem  Race 8  No.4  Gailo Chop  3.40

    Flem Race 7  No 1. Shillelagh 4.00

    Combined payout 224.00 or thereabouts.........outstanding value for 4 very good horses. Take em any way you please. Good luck.

    Gigantic odds Wadda. My shout if this gets up? Nice pick @binman I had trouble deciding between Shillelagh and Gailo Chop.

    My “Roughie/Each Way” 

    Flem R4 No1. Run Naan $26W $6.20P

    Can't really state that a Group 2 race is a drop in class but this horse has been racing against the best. First attempt at the 1400m, drawn wide so a roughie in the true sense.

    Good Luck all!

    Yes, you’re spot on, 5 max. I just got in the Tab app and tried a 6 horse multi and it said no deal.
