  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Proved very tricky today, Shillelagh just needed to run a place. 50 to 1 pop hey? It’s been fun today again and look forward to @Kumamoto_Ken joining the gang. Any late tips?
  4. No problem mate, come back anytime.
  5. Same here....disappointing run. I don’t think many horses have made up ground today from the back except Merchant Navy and Brave Smash.
  6. 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.
  7. Some of the comments from the losing jockeys were priceless. Jockey of So Si Bon when asked after the race ā€œ Na no good, horse needs to be geldedā€. ? 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.
  8. Good work Macca, you might have to post one ā€œMacca Tri Specialā€ a week for us. That along with the ā€œWadda Quaddieā€. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. http://racing.racingnsw.com.au/FreeFields/VideoResult.aspx?MeetDate=2018Mar10&VenueCode=MjM1OTgw&RaceNumber=4&MeetingCategory=Professional&VideoFileType=FullReplay Try this Wadda.
  12. Just watched the replay of the race. Did the horse get spooked? You’re right Macca, suddenly stepped sideways. That’s two falls today.
  13. 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.
  14. Heavily backed too, a work mate had all his multis centered around Portman, thought it was a ā€œgood thingā€. 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.
  15. 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 ā€œ Roughieā€ might be running with 3 legs today, it’s blown out to $31 now. I must be missing something....
  16. Gigantic odds Wadda. My shout if this gets up? Nice pick @binman I had trouble deciding between Shillelagh and Gailo Chop. My ā€œRoughie/Each Wayā€ 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!
  17. 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.
  18. Terrific value at $11 but you’d have to go back to 2009 for a horse (Phelan Ready) at double figure odds winning the Slipper. That’s a good question, I’m not sure the number of legs permitted for a horse multi. I’ve only tried a max of 4.
  19. Well....you’ve said it before. Any Gai runner is a chance, like on here, my mate knows there are some very talented sprinters in the race. Yeah, $11W $3.50P currently.( TAB)
  20. It’d be nice to get this one home. Since you have given us the Newmarket winner I’ve decided on Merchant Navy/Brave Smash quinella/exacta.?
  21. Yeah, he had no cover for most of the race, hence connections being ecstatic with the win. I thought Caulfield was the only track where the wind causes chaos.
  22. Some feedback from my Santos mate. There was a very strong head wind last week at Randwick and Santos faced the brunt of it during the run. It was a very tough and gutsy win as the horse looked like he might get swamped with about 100-200m to go.
  23. I was torn between two runners for ā€œBestā€. Shillelagh and Gailo Chop. Best Bet: Flemington Race 8 No.4 Gailo Chop. Odds: $3.00 Shillelagh is the highest rated horse in her race and her form reads better than it shows. Samovare (favourite) worried me out of it. Went with the Chop as he has been earmarked for this all along and you can’t fault him at the moment. I go back to a Caulfield review of a few weeks ago when the experts stated he would be extremely hard to beat in the Australian Cup. I noticed he’s drifted a tad to the $3 mark as Almandin has come in from $6 to $5.50 in the last 24 hours. Enjoyable viewing coming up on Saturday and go the Dees!!
  24. Sorry fellas on a quick break. I like Merchant Navy a lot but I’m glad @Wadda We Sing picked it because I can count my winners down the straight over the years on the one hand. Im having trouble so far but plenty of time left to find a ā€œspesssshallllā€.?
  25. I browsed through Sydney and Melbourne and there’s definitely some great value on offer. Ace High seems to be getting the wobbles in the markets. Out to $14 as of tonight. He’s drawn well and could easily find himself in the first few on the fence. Show A Star (Race 9 Syd) has drawn poorly again and although the $8 is tempting it’s best to wait on him at this stage. Some real shorties going around in the sprint races in Sydney. At this early stage Shillelagh (R7 Flemington) looks a good bet at $4.20. Edit: Brave Smash back in distance.....hmmm? Craig Williams suggested this according to a news story I came across a few days ago.
