My Selections for today.

[maverick1993]

lol...do i get anything for last place :)

[maverick1993]

A couple in the stable for tomorrow.
Musselbrook
*Desktop Magic ..in great form.,,the barrier is alittle worry ..but very consistent and deserves to break through against this lot..
*Mr Kiseki...Always runs on hardly ever wins...gets to a grade he can win now..robbo will stoke him up..doesnt win here send him to the bush..
Hamilton
Statice is another i have some time for..just a bit inconsistent for me..but has shown some ability in the past and in way better races than this..might get tempted ..depends on what price i get..

lets hope the run continues ..and continues into Tuesday..

Still have 1 double alive in the cup...
Railings/ Hugs Dancer at 1501/1 ....1 out of 100 lol...not a great strikerate but who cares if i get this one up..
I'll be on Railings in the cup...but if he does get beat i hope its by Old Hugsy :)

[maverick1993]

Back on board today for my favourite day of racing.... giddy up..
Mav, seen in the other thread you picked oahu, well now that its scratched feel free to unload on soveriegn miss. Its my mates horse and its run at caulfield from a crap barrier was full of merit and will bolt this in today in a much easier field. If the rain persists (meant to be clearing up) he will be a late scratching but very confident with this.
In newcastle watch for a massive plunge at the track in race 5 on cheap as. Know the connections here and has been set for this, Id reccomend taking fixed odds early where possible as it will be sure to tighten in late.
Ascot race 1 eugene blue in his first race is set for a big one. From all accounts has been looking the goods in track work and should be around the mark. Other selections in adelaide are some kinda storm in race 1, and facilikate in race 5.

Mav, you would be pleased to know Ive just bought into another 2 horses, 1 is a colt (18 months old) and is closely related to MERLOT NOW, the other is a filly from akhadane, which is starting to produce a few winners..... Both un-named at this stage but will keep everyone informed..

Good luck to all for a great day of racing!!!!

Hi Luv2...would love to know the breeding of your little Colt....Bad luck about Soverign Miss..a bit short for me ,,hope it wasnt your cash on her :)
how olds the filly ??
I have a filly by Kaaptive Edition i have high hopes for..also an Admiralty filly..
a Kbenjar colt and also a 1/2 share in a Sequalo ,,,
Fingers crossed one of them wins a few races :)

[luv2bet]

Got the two **** about face in that earlier post. The first horse is a chestnut filly foaled 6th november 2004. (danehill)
SIRE, AKHADAN.. Out of a sister to stakes winner Best Western, sire of 86 runners, 36 winners, including Almost never, merlot now, redadan, absolute heaven, superdan, nadella,etc.. The dam is SUPER PLAY, by kildare pride, this is her 6th live foal, her 5th foal is a 2 year old. Dam of 4 foals to race all being winners. We may not have this horse for long as theres been some interest in it, so will probably be put in the magic millions sale, I personally would like to keep it.
The other horse is from way of light (sire) and swan hill magic (dam). By ashkalani and 1st dam via spiga. Its an 18 month old colt that we should have a bit of fun with. Another horse I have an interest in is racing at mount gambier on friday. Its called Noisy princess and depending on the track conditions should run well. Doubt there will be any odds about it though because there are only 6 horses nominated for that race. Its trained down that way and needs a run.
Probably no world beaters among these, but its a ****** great day out to go and watch your horses run.
How far are your young ones away from racing Mav?? Can see a few winners coming from that stable.. good luck with em'.

[maverick1993]

Nothing better than watching your own horse race..even if it a donkey..
Mine are awhile off racing,, they're only babies,,,I have a interest in a jumper with Eric Musgrove..will let you know when he's racing next..
I find breeding alot of fun and its more a hobby than anything....out of all of them the Kaaptive edition filly is very impressive..not a popular sire but he stands in the middle of nowhere .has a excellent pedigree and was a good racehorse..the dam was handy on the track ..actually beat Lets elope in NZ before the mighty mare came over here and won everything...
she's my favourite..also have an interest in a Kenfair Colt who was born this morning..very healthy i hear and the dams doing very well also..

No Luck today..the one bet on Desktop magic who tried hard ..Mr Kiseki always finds a way of losing,,missed the start by a mile this time..,,and Statice came 3rd..havent seen that replay yet..

Tomorrow
Melbourne
*Scarlet Scene *Pentelikon, *Mr Magoo, *El Zahia/Moggs.
Brisbane
*Prend, *Moonbi Nymph
Adelaide
*Merlot now

Have already backed Railings earlier this week,,will have a few trifectas and 1st4s in the cup always good value....and will have my fingers crossed Hugs Dancer causes an upset for my double .. :)

Good Luck all..

MELBOURNE CUP

Well, as far as I'm concerned, there are 4 major winning chances in the Cup, but quite a few place chances behind them. In my opinion, 1 MAKYBE DIVA, 6 EYE POPPER, 7 RAILINGS & 22 LEICA FALCON have the best form and they will be the ones I will be concentrating my betting around. Makybe Diva is in brilliant form and I'd love to see her win, but my head tells me that perhaps the Caulfield Cup form around Railings, Eye Popper and Leica Falcon could work out to be the way to go. All three turned in terrific runs in that race which has been the best guide to the Melbourne Cup in recent years. No reason why it won't be the case again.

Any number of other chances behind those top four. I'm a big fan of Mr Celebrity and it would not surprise me at all if he was to get up here with such a light weight. Similarly, Vinnie Roe must be a top chance given his performances in this race the past two years. Perhaps he would like a wetter track though. Other possible chances for placings are 3, 8, 11, 12, 13 & 14. A word of warning though. Almost without fail in recent years, a big roughie has found it's way into the placings, so think about that when looking at trifectas.

Summing up though, I'll be concentrating on numbers 1, 6, 7 & 22 and next best I think are 23 & 2.

Thanks, Sportz. We only get Flemington today, but what a great show. We see much we normally don't during regular racing. I love the Cup. Tough race to handicap, though. Good luck.

Thanks for those Sportz. You and Mav both like Prend today..

R8 Ran I missed posting Cendawave...not my fave jockey though..
All the very best to you and everyone on the punt today. Enjoy!

[Sportz]

Thanks for those Sportz. You and Mav both like Prend today..


Hmmm, it can't possibly win with our weight on it. :D

I've started okay today. Had a good win bet on Candy Vale, and thanks to a couple of roughies, I've done okay with any2 bets on the 2nd and 3rd at Flemington.

[w924]

Good for you Sportz...looks like its going to be one of those days..if the past copuple of flem races are anything to go by..

. Re Prend its a special and late mail on nswtab.com so im real worried about it now..that usually spells the end..lol

[Sportz]

Yep, it's carrying almost as much weight as Makybe Diva! :D

[w924]

well Sportz your selections are looking pretty good at the moment. Im going to Randwick to run for cover and have a dip on Lucky Night..

[Sportz]

Geez, Cianara was a bit unlucky. That would have been a good result. Never mind, still not bad each way.

[w924]

well thank goodness for the 1400m "Outsider" outsiude barrier horse Hillfa! just love those wide runners at Flem..

[Sportz]

The one in the last isn't hopeless either.

[w924]

I needed that one Sportz..lol..missed the latter stages of the race..only heard hillfa called as second last at the turn...had a customer to attend to..was a nice surprise to hear the commentator talk after the race

[w924]

I agree..its picked the fave at Kembla grange too, but i'll leave that one out o bubble ohbill..

PS i got worried when they backed the living daylights out of lucky night..it ran accordingly lol

Just heard the Hillfa replay Sportz..the gods were smiling on me...

[BJ]

Well I just had a bit of a go at Vinnie Roe at $18.

Also have a trifecta of 1 / 6,7,22 / F

Have $20 on Eye Popper at $8 from a couple of days ago, but the talk this morning says that it has already run its race.

My thoughts on Makybe Diva say that the connections gave themselves every opportunity to pull out of the event. Everybody wants her to win, and I don't think she would be running if the connections didn't think she was a genuine chance.

My system bet is on her at $60 @ $5.2.

Have a few running for me, but the best bet of the day is the cans of Jimmie in the fridge....

Have a good one everybody....

[Sportz]

Well, what do you say. Never going to see anything like this again.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! :D

[thefan]

She looked no chance of losing. Great run Id say... A good way to say she might not run,They made it for her! The crowd was behind her...she did it.

[mad]

Wooooo Hoooooooooo The Diva, The Greatest!

Not a bad run for second On a Juene.

Railings, Eye Popper - Hello, what happened????????
They must be finishing soon - Lol

[BJ]

The thing is, she did it too easily. As I said, with all the expectation, I really don't think they would have ran her if she wasn't a genuine chance.

Pity we won't see 4 in a row....

[w924]

well what you can you say? amazing really. missed the tri as per usual, but did grab the $182 quin with on a juene so happy enough. Thrilled that the diva won so easilt..wow!

and Prend carried all that weight and still got up lol

[mad]

Onya w924,
Very impressed with On a Juene, didn't see that coming at all!

[Sportz]

Yeah, for the 4th year in a row, I think I had 5 of the first 6 horses across the line, yet missed the trifecta. Mad at myself for leaving On A Jeune out (I actually had it in a sweep). I did collect the quinella and any2, and of course I'm VERY happy with the Diva winning, so I'm certainly not complaining. Could have been better though.

I am disappointed leaving On A Jeune out too.. The trifecta I had written down was 1/ 7,16,22/ F.

Pity I double checked and realised that the 16 should have been 6, hence putting the correct bet on but missing the trifecta..... Would have been a mistake muchly appreciated....

[Sportz]

An outsider almost always finishes in the placings somewhere. It's just that I'm usually not game enough to spend the money to get it. If you thought Makybe Diva would win, you could have simply done Mav's trick and taken her with the field. Would have cost $253 for a half and you get back about $3700+. Sounds easy after the event.

[mad]

I don't know how you guys feel but the Geelong Cup is fast turning into a reasonable form race for the Cup.

[maverick1993]

Crappy day for me so far ,,,usual on MC day....only Scarlet Scene and Prend giving something back.
Have Jade City and then Moonbi Nymph at Brissie..
hoping for a Makybe Diva finish to get me out of trouble :)

Merlot Now ran a good race..didnt get much room and thought he was going to place...looks like his form is coming back..

Wasnt Makybe fantastic..something we can tell the grandkids..and i have my $10 e/w ticket that i'll keep in a photo album for the great great grandkids to pawn..

confident about Moonbi now with the scratchings..

Hope you guys had a good one :)

[mad]

Onya Mav, just jumped on Moonbi with ya!

[maverick1993]

Onya Mav, just jumped on Moonbi with ya!

could be a sinking Ship Mad....
just blew a slab on Jade City...have a stack on Moonbi in the get out of jail stakes :)
Fingers crossed...

[mad]

Railings and Eye Popper just got home for those that had money on them, as i did. Good time too, only 2.5 hours!

[mad]

No biggie, took $11 fixed for $50 just to get my Railings stake back.

Come on Moonbi!

[maverick1993]

e/w in the next on Desert Charger at odds :)

something to do while i'm waiting for Moonbi ..

[maverick1993]

lol...back Jason miller in the next..when he gets the right colours on that is ..:)
classic chevron..to win easy ..



what a shocking ride..he had the run of the race and stayed on the inside waiting for run..i think he's still waiting,,,,forgot his colours and forgot how to ride as well :)

[mad]

Moonbi's drifting, sorry i took the fixed price now.

[maverick1993]

we both could be very sorry......was hoping for some fishnChips tonight so we need the gods of racing to intervene here.....
took 11's aswell :(

[maverick1993]

Railings and Eye Popper just got home for those that had money on them, as i did. Good time too, only 2.5 hours!

Hugs Dancer still hasnt finished...sending out a search party soon..

[mad]

****** beans and toast AGAIN - Stuff me, no way!

Come on Moonbi.

[mad]

Can't even say Bl oo dy anymore

[mad]

Oh well, shoulda saved on the place.

[maverick1993]

lol..well i can afford a cab home atleast and a cheap bottle of red to drown my sorrows.. :(

always next year ..

[maverick1993]

must be Mad but i have a couple of bookers for tomorrow.. :)

straight back in the sadle..,,

Grafton
*Hareb Biscay, *Ragged Blossom, *Starlactic,

Havent done the ratings yet ,,wont have time tonight...good luck if you back them.. :)

shocking day today..1 winner (short) and 2 placings from 7 races....
remember this being the case last year....
look at the divies for the tri and 1st 4 in the cup HUGE !...after the event is really doesnt look that hard to get..but it seems it always is..

[Sportz]

Race 7 - 13 AVENIDA MADERO (EW), 9 Rescuer, 16 Miss Andretti

:D

[Sportz]

look at the divies for the tri and 1st 4 in the cup HUGE !...after the event is really doesnt look that hard to get..but it seems it always is..

The 1st, 3rd & 4th were easy to pick. And I was listening to Deane Lester and Roy Higgins just before the race and I think they BOTH picked On A Jeune as their best roughie for multiples. Did I follow the advice? Of course not.

[w924]

look at the divies for the tri and 1st 4 in the cup HUGE !...after the event is really doesnt look that hard to get..but it seems it always is..

So true Maverick..its the one race per year that I have a go at the tri..and I try to include 5 yr old geldings and also proven distance winners, and On a Jeuene got in on age.

usually throws up at least one longshot in the 3. as for Excellent well he was all the rage here in NZ... i just wasnt prepared to spend the extra dollars to get the tri. as well as the quinella.

Sportz is also correct about On a Jeune being the mounting yard tips...they were both pretty keen on him.

If it wasnt for the Cup quinella, Hillfa and Windom I would have had a crappy day. as it turned out I had a beauty...followed my hunch and double dipped on Hilffa, only to find later that I had in fact bet a unit more than I intended. When the gods are smiling everything is fine.

[Oaksnaf]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I was able to back On a Juene for the place, but never had a multi with 1,8 in there.

THe Geelong cup has to be a great form guide for the Cup other than the Caulfield, i mean look at Media Puzzle.



Hey Mav, at Grafton Herab Biscay was a horse i watched a few weeks ago and it should have won. SO ill also be on it today.

[w924]

THe Geelong cup has to be a great form guide for the Cup other than the Caulfield

That race has always been well respected by my peers as a great form line ..

Good luck today Maverick and Oaksnaf..I'll be watching with interest. and trying hard not to give away too much of my recent spoils on silly bets.

[Oaksnaf]

I might have a little dabble on the Kyneton Cup to give me a little something more to play with tommorow for the Oaks.

Show Barry should win this race despite the 61kg. Kehlstein i feel will be the major challenges with Joy of Flight as one who could be the surprise pocket.

[Sportz]

Joy of Flight as one who could be the surprise pocket.

Or surprise packet??? ;)

Then again, if she gets up it could be a pleasant surprise to your pocket as well. :D

[Oaksnaf]

Or surprise packet??? ;)

Then again, if she gets up it could be a pleasant surprise to your pocket as well. :D
hahahhaa good one.

yeh... no-one would ever guess im a journalist with all these spelling mistakes.

Ahh well. yeh nicely put Sportz ill get ya that one.

[w924]

My thoughts on Makybe Diva say that the connections gave themselves every opportunity to pull out of the event. Everybody wants her to win, and I don't think she would be running if the connections didn't think she was a genuine chance.

My system bet is on her at $60 @ $5.2.

well Done BJ..you got a good price there

[w924]

Hi Mad,

"Oh well, shoulda saved on the place".

yeah thats what I was thinking.....$3.20 on Qtab..I dont usually go e/w but I did with Windom (and it won) and then didn't with Moonbi...and it places lol. Good luck today Mad if you're havin' a bet

[downbylaw]

I see i had the same as you sportsz. Exacta just shown on stab $13.90 has far exceded my expectations, no complaints here!!

[maverick1993]

Another battle today ...
My Bookers didnt do anything,,but my stable runners of Alana's Song and Mery Peirce faired better...

Alanas Song is rewarding me now for sticking by her through the learning proccess...i wonder why she's down there ..the Plumbs must be targeting something..guess is she'll pop up in a decent race down there next start..
Mery Peirce didnt do much ..just got to far back..will appreciate the run though so i'll keep an eye on her...

the bookers well ..not sure yet havent seen the video...
Ragged Blossom (don't like races with no starters) finished 3rd..maybe follow.
Hareb Biscay...good odds..had a go e/w but dont know what happened..
Starlactic...ridiculous odds,,to short ,,,and is still running anyway..

Allanas Song made the day worthwhile ,, starting to become one of my favourites.. :)

missed the cup today..had a quiet day and just looked at the book and stable runners..but the cup looked a good betting race..

well done Stix ..a great result..

[maverick1993]

A few bookers and Stable runners tomorrow,,,havent yet done the ratings (again) and wont be on tonight or tomorrow morn..
but on first glance i'm keen on Dell Amby , Majors Creek and Mr Ponsford..

Brissie
*Dell Amby, *Celestane *Regina Desert
Melbourne
*All Bar One *Mock *Majors Creek
Hawksbury

[Sportz]

FLEMINGTON

Race 1 - Tricky race. Could be a race to look for value or play around with multis. I'm a fan of 12 SOJUSTREMEMBERTHIS but not the barrier though. If she had drawn the outside, I would have been very keen. As it is, I still think she's a good chance. 8 FREEROLLER is in tremendous form and has a better barrier. She's the equal top pick. 10, 2, 5, 9 & 7 are all strong chances. As I said, it's a tough race. Be careful.
(12,8,10,2 - 5,9,7)

Race 2 - Even tougher here. Perhaps look a small each way around 9 CAPTIOUS & 10 JOSE AMIGO. No confidence though.
(9,10,8,5 - 3,11,15)

Race 3 - Pretty keen on 3 HOLLY GO LIGHTLY here especially on an each way basis if the price will allow. Top run last start behind Astronomia and this looks like it will suit. 2 FABIARNA is the main danger.
(3,2,4 - 1,5,9)

[luv2bet]

Couple for today.
Race 1 in melbourne I think amber shimmer is great value around 10s. Its been racing in great form lately, and probably was a bit unlucky last start at big odds drawing a wide barrier at caulfield. Will be much better suited today at flemington and the wide barrier shouldnt play a part over this distance.E/W
In PT lincoln I liked the way eagle juan hit the line last start. Distance shouldnt be a problem and this race is certainly no harder than its last start. Anything over 4s would represent good value. Another running in Pt Lincoln that I will watch with interest is Ancient Music in race 8. It will be interesting to see how its NSW form stacks up in country SA. I will be watching the betting closely on this one.
Good luck to all.

[Stix]

FLEMINGTON

As I said, it's a tough race. Be careful.
(12,8,10,2 - 5,9,7)

More later.Nice start Sportz :D

[w924]

Morning everyone,

I dont have fiond memories of oaks day..(my mind tells me lots of faves get up) and you probably know by now that I'm not usually into the short ones..

here's my bets today...



R1 Chilli Cool I wrongly listed this one and shouldnt have..it was eliminated because of Covet Thee..and should have been a "no bet" race for me..my mistake .wasted $50) ..and well done Sportz!


R3 Lago Lady

R4 Sugar Bomb/ Crevette

R5 Kammoora

R7 Irazu / McCloud

Good luck everyone!

"Fortune favours the brave"

[Stix]

Race 2 - Even tougher here. Perhaps look a small each way around 9 CAPTIOUS & 10 JOSE AMIGO. No confidence though.
(9,10,8,5 - 3,11,15)


Nice work AGAIN Sportz...........

[Sportz]

FLEMINGTON continued

Race 6 - Purely on facts, figures and form, 1 SERENADE ROSE & 2 ASTRONOMIA appear to be the ones to beat here. Serenade Rose has been in top winning form right through the spring and it was a top effort on Saturday. Certainly looks like the 2500m is no worry. Astronomia is the obvious danger and one of the two really should be winning. The ones to upset the favourites could be 3, 4 or 6. I've been an Empress Lily fan for a while now, but she was a bit disappointing in the Wakeful. Not giving up on her altogether.
(1,2 - 4,3,6,10)

Race 7 - No reason why 2 BROCKMAN'S LASS can't win again here. A very impressive win last start. 7 SAIN VESUVIO & 5 UPSIZED the dangers.
(2,7,5,4,9)

Race 8 - I think 6 ALL BAR ONE will be in front for a long time here. Whether he holds on, I'm not sure, but he'll give a good sight. 1 ALWAYS FLYING & 2 BRANNIGAN are the dangers.
(6,1,2,3 - 5,9,11)

Race 9 - I like 1 MOCK each way here. His recent form is stronger than these. Forget about his last run over 1200. He loves this distance. 2 POLISH CROWN & 3 TSZYU are the dangers.
(1,2,3,16 - 4,15,5)

[Sportz]

Nice work AGAIN Sportz...........

Tossed up between 14 & 15 for the last spot in my selections. Went the wrong way. :(

[Sportz]

HAWKESBURY
Race 4 - 6 CATCH THE BIRD & 4 MONTE ABBEY
Race 8 - 2 ORCYM (2,3,5,1,7)

PINJARRA
Race 1 - 5 OSCAR WILDLY & 7 STORM ON BY (5,7,2,8 - 10,1)
Race 3 - 9 MASAI LADY & 8 LADY RIVALRY (9,8,10,5 - 12,7)
Race 5 - 9 PHILATELIST & 4 GLEN ERIN ROSE (9,4,2,3,1)
Race 7 - 5 SPECIAL SPICE & 4 BORDER CONTROL (5,4,2,10 - 1,6)

[Sportz]

FLEMINGTON

Race 3 - Pretty keen on 3 HOLLY GO LIGHTLY here especially on an each way basis if the price will allow. Top run last start behind Astronomia and this looks like it will suit. 2 FABIARNA is the main danger.
(3,2,4 - 1,5,9)

Sorry. :o

That was just AWFUL!!!!! :(

[Stix]

Sorry. :o

That was just AWFUL!!!!! :(Ur not on your Pat Malone Sportz !!!

Don't know toooo many people could pick the 30-1 and 50-1's in their top few....... unless it was their horse ! (then it's bias!!)

Having said that it did win impressively last start....... oh well :( ........... n-e-x-t race thanks :D

[Tubby]

Morning everyone,

I dont have fiond (sic) memories of oaks day..(my mind tells me lots of faves get up) and you probably know by now that I'm not usually into the short ones..


R4 Sugar Bomb/ Crevette


No shorties yet. It could be your day w924.

[tarbs]

Always Flying is a very very quick horse...

[Stix]

FLEMINGTON continued

Race 7 - No reason why 2 BROCKMAN'S LASS can't win again here. A very impressive win last start. 7 SAIN VESUVIO & 5 UPSIZED the dangers.
(2,7,5,4,9)

Yep.. and no reason why Teppanyaki can run 2nd...... but does.... Grrr :mad: (Pick the person who just lost money in the multi's.... lol !! ;) )

[Sportz]

Stix,

I took an any2 and quinella with Brockman's Lass from the field. Didn't expect a result like that though!!! :eek: :D

[mad]

You have blackbook horses racing on November 03:
MEGADEAL
FLEMINGTON Race 4 No 3 at 13:30
SCHWEPPERVESCENCE STAKES (1200m)
Your comment: good horse, not top class, listed perhaps



<HR noShade SIZE=1>COVET THEE
FLEMINGTON Race 1 No 2 at 11:20
THE HEAVEN SPRINT (1100m)
Your comment: won bunkum race easily, midweek


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...........................

[Sportz]

Didn't you back Covet Thee??? No wonder you're Mad.

[mad]

Nope unfortunately, have spent the last hour or two swearing at myself. Finally calmed down enough to post that and will have a little chuckle later perhaps - only kidding but it is typical!

Looking for something to take on Wild Queen at Hawkesbury, seems to be a little too short - any suggestions?

How about St Tevoc 1x3 very good run last start :)

Perhaps Fiery Venture or Force Apollo each way???

[Stix]

Perhaps Fiery Venture or Force Apollo each way???going 2- 3,4,7 - F ;)

[Stix]

going 2- 3,4,7 - F ;).....b ut what would I know......... :D

[Sportz]

Well, I reckon the eventual price wasn't too bad myself. Didn't think it was really in any danger of losing.

Geez, the first4 paid well.

[downbylaw]

1.85 on ias was what i got it at, no complaints. Just got a call from a mate reckons umbrian star at pt lincoln in bout 2 min looks a real good hope. Often sends me winners so see what happens i guess.

[Stix]

Geez, the first4 paid well.Sportz,

it what a great price and result - went 2-347-f-f for 50% $63 out $259 in :D

Hope you got it mad :confused:

[Lady Frisco]

Well, I wanted to ruin your day Sportz, but I am not in the least dissapointed. 3rd is a great result for Lady under the circumstances. Last start could be written off because she threw her shoulder out in the wet on the 8th. Didn't find out until last start, she was her usual self. This is better than I could have hoped.

Tri didnt pay very well (On NSW Tab) at all, did it? *shrugs* Got 1400 on the place for Lady so.. I knew she would be up there today.

I have followed her for a while. nice to see she's back and firing. :D

[Stix]

w924

No nightmares today..... BIG prices everywhere...... I just couldn't jag enuff at flemington today !

[Lady Frisco]

Am I right to assume that you have a ownership/financial interest in the Mare?

I have followed her for a while. nice to see she's back and firing. :D
Yeah, we own a Hoof.. or tail. We havent discussed that with the other owners yet, LOL! She is a great mare. Fell in love with her when we first went to see her. Has so much attitude. Yes, we are glad to see her back in form. Last start was heartbreaking, but when the Chiro came out, we all knew she slipped on the going on the 8th when she came in 4th behind retail therapy, but we didnt know it had done her any injustice as she just continued on as normal. The last was a very unexpected result and we all knew something was wrong. She was being set for this, so that set her back a bit, but this 3rd lets us know that she is gonna be just fine.

Glad she isnt unnoticed though. She puts in so much it would be sad to think she is going under the radar.

[mad]

Nope, stayed away altogether. Still sulking over Covet Thee!

[maverick1993]

well done Lady Frisco...she tried hard and ran well..

Mock summed up the day for me :(
started well with Dell Amby with a nice place divie..
losses on All Bar One, Majors Creek, Mock, Mary's Thunder.
got a place divie with Mr Ponsford who ran very very well...

Mock puts his nose hairs in front ,,me and half of Flemmington walk away with the cash...oh well ..can't win them all,,

Oaks was an ok result for me..1/2 the 1st4 and the tri a couple of times..
great win by the filly....good run by Flora Danica aswell..

Hope you guys had a good one... :)

[luv2bet]

Couple for today.
Race 1 in melbourne I think amber shimmer is great value around 10s. Its been racing in great form lately, and probably was a bit unlucky last start at big odds drawing a wide barrier at caulfield. Will be much better suited today at flemington and the wide barrier shouldnt play a part over this distance.E/W
In PT lincoln I liked the way eagle juan hit the line last start. Distance shouldnt be a problem and this race is certainly no harder than its last start. Anything over 4s would represent good value. Another running in Pt Lincoln that I will watch with interest is Ancient Music in race 8. It will be interesting to see how its NSW form stacks up in country SA. I will be watching the betting closely on this one.
Good luck to all.

Not a good start with amber shimmer, did nothing. Luckily the eagle was way unders so that was left alone. The money came for ancient music so 500 on the plonk finished the day off very nicely..
Hope yas all had a win.

Was nice to see the money didn't make it to the tote though. I backed it also and took the punt on IAS superprice. $3.6 on the books, $5.6 on superprice, provided a nice little bonus. Although I don't bet anywhere as high as you.....

thanks god MC day and th Oaks are finished.,,to hard on the bank balance :)

still spewing about Mock , Mr Ponsford and Dell Amby ect ect ..2nds are just cruel..

A couple of stable runners tomorrow..

Mount Gambier
*Satin Saint..cant imagine any sort of odds but should win this and win this easily..Holly is a plus..
Port Lincon
*Patric...honest as they come..good run last start behind Meanma who ran well the other day...little Chau helps with the claim and has previously rode him very well...

Good Luck All ...

[w924]

"still spewing about Mock , Mr Ponsford and Dell Amby ect ect ..2nds are just cruel.."

I know what you mean Mav...it can be cruel at times... no doubt about it! I must say I'm a little surprised to have not done my nuts over the carnival. Its funy how on days in which you think you are going to clean up you get nothing and on others like yesterday when I didnt feel confident it all comes good.

I thought Kammoora was a good bet but didnt think it would win by five lengths..no wonder it got backed in...

Good luck Today Maverick and remember, tomorrow is Saturday and hopefully for you, back to normality...

Good to see that most did well over the carnival overall. Im going to have to take a look at these anytwo bets...never done one in my life.. and I see sportingbet has something about Friday prices on their home page today...no idea what thats about either.

So many new ways to do one's nuts LOL..I love it

Yep nice work sportz, a good example of how to do it!!

These are not tips, Im just posting them out of interest. A mate noticed by chance when looking through weights acceptances etc that the no 1 in the ballot was winning a lot of races. He has been watching it for a few months with good results. No real sense behind it but worth a look.

Noisy might need the run today, its had a few back problems. It is racing in Hamilton next start and it should be cherry ripe for that one.
Good luck to all.....

well done stix .howd you get that 1st4 ??

funny game racing..you get 1 good result and the balance is healthy again ..

like a few for tomorrow ..be on later ;)

woohoo just backed Holly in the last and she won,,,she was overdue and knew she'd be riding for dear life...will let the winnings ride on latar in the last at Rocky for fun..

BJ, to be fair Luv2 did say its next race (hamilton) would be better suited for Noisy Princess...maybe next time :)

Fortune favours the brave

[luv2bet]

Yep, I did say it might need the run. Overall I wasnt too dissapointed with that. It was starting to wind up nicely and will be much better for the run. Oh well todays another day. Be back later with a few around adelaide.
Good luck today guys...

[saratoga samchaz]

LUV2, Don't worry about making any excuses for trying to help some fellow punters out. I know almost all of us appreciate it immensely. I thought Noisy might need one but had the class in the race so I can't wait for Hamilton, if we take it here. How did Noisy run in the race? I didn't see it. Is there a site where I can get the race charts that show the running lines of each horse in that race? We have them here in the states and are extremely useful. Thanks

[Sportz]

FLEMINGTON

Race 1 - Tough start to the day, but I think 16 BECKS has quite a good chance here. Top win first up and Beadman is a plus. 4 HURRICANE GUST & 12 KRASKY could be the dangers.
(16,4,12,3 - 1,7,15)

Race 2 - If you want to bet here, I suggest 8 FOLLOW THE TILL from 1 SUPER SAVINGS.

[w924]

FLEMINGTON

Race 1 - Tough start to the day, but I think 16 BECKS has quite a good chance


Sportz youve nailed it again. Great start to the day!

R6 Hint of success (atrocious win rate)

R4 Moscow Ballet / Our Dashing Dane

R5 Jet Spur (my biggest bet today)

R9 Exhalted Ego

[Sportz]

FLEMINGTON continued

Race 4 - I've been a BIG fan of 2 ZIPPING all the way through and it was a very impressive win on Cup day. See no reason to drop off now. Could be a Group 1 horse in future. 3 LORDS A LEAPING & 9 UTILITY the dangers. Lords A Leaping was a top run behind Niconero at Moonee Valley.
(2,3,9 - 1,7,8)

Race 6 - VERY tough to work out. This race has thrown up a few roughies in recent times, so I'm going to tread very warily. I may look for some value around 4 NICONERO & 8 SHANIA DANE and maybe 5 ACTIVATION as it seems he will get out to silly odds today. I really have no great confidence though.
(8,4,5,6 - 3,14,1)

Race 8 - Tough to pick again, but I think it could be a good race for multis here. I'll be concentrating my thoughts around 8 AQUA D'AMORE, 7 STORM ALERT, 2 JOHAN'S TOY, 1 WILD IRIS and perhaps 5 BALLYBLEUE as well. Any of these could win without surprising.
(8,7,2,1 - 5,11,16)

Race 9 - Could be a good race to finish on here. Three top chances here in my opinion. 4 CARGO CULT was a top run last start at Moonee Valley and down in grade here. He's top pick here, but only slightly in front of 5 SHADOWMAKER & 6 EXALTED EGO which are both in top form.
(4,5,6,18 - 1,3,16)

[Sportz]

Flem:
R3 Angkhasa


I thought this one had an each way chance too. Good luck.

[downbylaw]

I think its going to be a very hard day at flemington ill probly only take zipping in the 4th and our smoking joe in the 7th. Dads horse BEXAAR is running in the 9th been pretty average of late but today finally we have a decent jockey in noel callow. He is not on of my favs but i rate him more highly than danny brereton or ryhs mcleod who couldnt ride themselves out of a wet paper bag imo. It is stepping up to 1400 which it may need as it often misses the start but runs on very strongly over the last 300 meters.

heres my tips for randwick where ill be having the majority of my bets today.
R5 #3
R6 #1
R7 #3
R8 #1
R9 #3

Anyway im off to geelong races today.
Good luck everybody!!!!!!!!!

[luv2bet]

Few thoughts for today.
I like exalted ego in the last in melbourne as well sportz. Form is solid and there is certainly some confidence around the smith stable. Beadman on board is a plus also. Should go close.
ADELAIDE.
RACE 1. No bet race. Strikes back to lead, can mix his form. Davout should be too good but too short also. Will watch the 2 first starters with interest, mainly gusueme.
RACE 2. Tulum obviously the one to beat here, great 2nd up record but Ill go for a bit of value with charas. He got way too far back last run which didnt suit and the smaller field here should play in its favour, 2 runs before that were very good.
RACE 3..will watch this race I think, wont be too much value anywhere in a reasonably open field. Might get tempted to have a go on nightgazer if the odds permit.
RACE 4. Going with the toppy here. Should be rock hard fit now and getting back to some good form. Good run last start behind zipping who has since won at flemington, that should stack up well for this.
RACE 5. Going for value with terminus prince. Hes a class horse that is starting to find some form. His last couple of runs have been good, not being discraced, liked the way he fought on last start. Will be fitter for that and should go well at e/w odds.
RACE 6. Like lemonade parade here. His last couple of runs havnt really suited but hes out to a distance which really should suit. Also is a horse that races well at cheltenham.
RAcE 7. Covet in gold. This is a funny horse. If it races like it has been training it will win this easy. Just needs to get a good crack at them in the straight, and get a sit midfield somewhere. Ill be having a decent go on this, it cant keep showing so much in training and not winning..
Good luck to all for 2day..

Race 4 - 2 STRADA


Hope nobody backed this one. I didn't. Ridiculous odds and he's obviously not as good as I thought.

[w924]

Disappointing for sure. Glad I wasnt on it, but I couldnt nail the horse to beat it either...

[Sportz]

FLEMINGTON continued

Race 6 - VERY tough to work out. This race has thrown up a few roughies in recent times, so I'm going to tread very warily.

What did I tell ya?

[w924]

Hi Sportz, absolute skinner for me at Flem...LOL ...and like I said I would have been happy to break even there today....

[Sportz]

Bad luck. :(

I had a good day there. I was VERY confident in the last race, and I managed to get the first 4. :D

I think it's important to work out which races are likely to trouble you and go really easy in those races. For example, I decided not to put a trifecta or first4 on in the Emirates, because I was pretty certain that a roughie would get in there and spoil things for my tips. As it was, Sutology still spoiled the party in R8.

[Sportz]

FLEMINGTON

Race 1 - Tough start to the day, but I think 16 BECKS has quite a good chance here. Top win first up and Beadman is a plus. 4 HURRICANE GUST & 12 KRASKY could be the dangers.
(16,4,12,3 - 1,7,15)

Race 2 - If you want to bet here, I suggest 8 FOLLOW THE TILL from 1 SUPER SAVINGS.

Race 4 - I've been a BIG fan of 2 ZIPPING all the way through and it was a very impressive win on Cup day. See no reason to drop off now. Could be a Group 1 horse in future. 3 LORDS A LEAPING & 9 UTILITY the dangers. Lords A Leaping was a top run behind Niconero at Moonee Valley.
(2,3,9 - 1,7,8)

Race 6 - VERY tough to work out. This race has thrown up a few roughies in recent times, so I'm going to tread very warily. I may look for some value around 4 NICONERO & 8 SHANIA DANE and maybe 5 ACTIVATION as it seems he will get out to silly odds today. I really have no great confidence though.
(8,4,5,6 - 3,14,1)

Race 8 - Tough to pick again, but I think it could be a good race for multis here. I'll be concentrating my thoughts around 8 AQUA D'AMORE, 7 STORM ALERT, 2 JOHAN'S TOY, 1 WILD IRIS and perhaps 5 BALLYBLEUE as well. Any of these could win without surprising.
(8,7,2,1 - 5,11,16)

Race 9 - Could be a good race to finish on here. Three top chances here in my opinion. 4 CARGO CULT was a top run last start at Moonee Valley and down in grade here. He's top pick here, but only slightly in front of 5 SHADOWMAKER & 6 EXALTED EGO which are both in top form.
(4,5,6,18 - 1,3,16)

:D A good day for me.

Started off well right from the first race at Flemington. Had a good win with Becks and got a nice trifecta there as well. Also had a big result in the last at Flemington with Cargo Cult as well as the trifecta and first 4. Good wins in R3 & R7 at Doomben, and my 3 biggest win bets for the day (Zipping, Malcolm & Manjar) all won too. All in all, a very good day.

Hope everyone else went well. :)

Winners
Miss Glamour Puss and Covertly.. :) loss about 45% .. ouch ..

A few placings there that could of been ...no big trifecta to get me out of trouble....If Caulfield Jim grabs 4th things could of been different...
Great day at the Gabba anyway...just loved the Boxes...could easily get used to that..even watched the Melb races on the monitor,,,

With Armidale off ..nothing for me today..day off to take stock of a crappy last 3 days of the Spring Carnival...
the other days were good so i shouldn't be complaining,,, i guess..

Jack again! He's unreal!

[Stix]

Tatura R8-1 Breif Eruption
Last start was in VRC St Ledger in April and well beaten, seemed to lose all form towards the end of his last preparation. This is a huge class drop. He is drawn wide, but if right should give this a huge shake. Looks as though 3's would be a good price from early markets.

[maverick1993]

only the one tip around and the race is abandoned ...
looks like we've got the post spring blues .

only the one tomorrow ..Lakadosh ..but i'm not expecting any great price..

Its good to have these quiet times..time to reflect on the carnival ..good to study the figures and see where i can improve..

Good time to go over the figures in each state..even each track...
looking at my Trifecta , treble and first 4 results...and my Saturday and weekday figures,,

one thing i'm very happy with is going 1x3 on my e/w's ..something i picked up on here from someone ..

not much happening..heard a rumour about Starcraft starting in mile race in New York ?? ,,, poor thing races everywhere,,

[w924]

"Its good to have these quiet times..time to reflect on the carnival ..good to study the figures and see where i can improve..'

True Maverick.. I got absolutely caned on Saturday in all three states..just to finish off the carnival on a sober note.

Pleased overall though..it can be a very trying time in Melbourne, and only one losing day in that lot. Sydney is my best hunting ground by far..

I've just had two days off, apart from two bets on Sunday which I put on very early a.m and let them go around for me. I find it good to have time out after a caning, and I used this morning to go back over all the figures and venues, and, importantly, look at the overall figures for the year thus far. Helps to keep things in perspective.

plucked up the courage to see how my two bets on Sunday went and found that I snared a winner at good odds..elps make up for some of the 2nds I encountered on Sat and reinforces the confidence. lol

Great to see Sportz and co doing well on Saturday, (and William seemed to be going well in Adelaide early) ... and how about that friendly Friedman family pulling a $560 double? I must also mention Feathers effoirts using Dale's variation on Crash's no brainer, to come up with some great wins.

All the best everyone

It's the only way I go e/way $1.40 place = profit..... :D

[Stix]

Anyone compete in the AAP Sports and Racing Daily Challenge?

For those that are unaware you tip in each race of as many meetings as you like and get awarded points for 1st, 2nd and 3rd and compete against other tipsters.

All tips must be in before the 1st race of the meeting. Single tips only.

No prizes, except self-satisfaction and bragging rights.

[w924]

"It's the only way I go e/way $1.40 place = profit..... :D"

Its the surest way for me to get 4ths to replace all the 2nds I currently get by win betting. LOL.

anyone game enough to bet today?

"not much happening..heard a rumour about Starcraft starting in mile race in New York ?? ,,, poor thing races everywhere,,"

looks like it will be joining Xcellent in the Dubai race..the worlds richest, according to ozeform

[w924]

who was it who tipped Walcha toady?...looks like it may run against an odds on pop in "with a chance"


Good luck ..you'll get a good price at least. All the best

A few for tomorrow..
Bendigo
*Ascana....won at the track,,and last start was better than it looks..Melham rides the horse well...i'm prepared to take on Tosen Dandy who i think is the main danger..pretty open the cup and theres usually good value around..
Eagle Farm
*Don't tell clang..i like this horse..ran on well last start over the shorter distance..the longer the better ...claims helps and she should be flying home at the end..the top 2 the dangers..
*As sir la ...won well last start...gets the gun run here again and should be to strong for this lot.
Murray Bridge
*Lemonade Parade,,,,waiting for this horse to resume..will be stronger over a little longer but has some class and should sprint well fresh..doesnt have to beat much here,,,

Good luck all :)

Having a look at the Bgo Cup....... like Tosen Dandy who looks well above these and Zacielo who had a good run in the SAAB. Also Ascana is a favorite of mine and loves the cut in the ground and has won here before. Think I'll be basing it around these.

Gday Stix...

u have TD that far ahead of em? Being a cup, I am probably going to be wrong, but I can't find a place for him.. It will be that I take into account the last 3 SP's as a negative.... He has started at huge prices last couple...I thought Moodýs horse would be a chance in what is a hard race.. Caught Courting and True Courser have claims as well.. BUT IT IS A CUP and anything can happen :) for 4th I think at odds Garidar could be worth a look.. Having said that U are probably right with TD :)

[Stix]

TD's 1st Aussie run in the Feehan was fair to say the least, took up the running and condition was always going to be this issue even over the 1600m. Cranbourne Cup run was a good run, where sat of the speed a bit more and ran on fairly. In the Cox plate, the track and conditions were against him. Would obviously prefer good going........ guess he's been running in some pretty classy affairs.... and with a bit more fitness should be a good chance. Besides, hate to see him return empty handed and end up as sushi (LOL!) :D

Belzain is another that I'm considering now that the track has been upgraded, he loves the dead has won here and although up in grade has a nice barrier and has Blake onboard.....

Maybe:
1 Tosen Dandy
5 Zacielo
12 Belzain
2 Ascana
4 Southern Crown

hmmm...... Country Cups...... always hard :confused:

[Tenacious Spirit]

What about old Big Pat, anyone giving him a rough show going on what i considered to be a pretty good performance last start behind the likes of big bad bustling Show Barry etc?????

[luv2bet]

Im definately prepared to take on the toppy, its only won 1 race since 2002 and all but 1 of his wins has been at 1800 or under, not for me thanks....
Ill be leaning towards zacielo at this stage, super run in the saab and has the runs on the board over the distance. In what looks pretty open Id include ascana, big pat, true courser and belzain.
Good luck guys..

[xptdriver]

G'day there X


Maybe:
1 Tosen Dandy
5 Zacielo
12 Belzain

4 Southern Crown

hmmm...... Country Cups...... always hard :confused:

My ratings are pretty weird for this race...... U are absolutely right about Country Cups... Tho I have been on Precise Timing this time in and he has been kind.. I agree with Belzain, has to be a chance (tho she is not a distance winner but has run a hole at her only go) ... I am a big fan of distance winners and the theory that horses tend to repeat.. So I threw all the names in the air and came up with this (these are different from my mechanical ratings)

The numbers after the barrier is the distance record (WIN)

5. Zacielo (5) 3 for 2
8. True Courser (9) 1 for 1
3. Zedimbi (2) like the odds, and untried, pretty fair overs
12. Belzain (4) 1 place from 1
10. Garidar (13) 4/2 not a bad SR tho doesnt seem to like the track.. good overs

I am a dill.. I was talking up Caught Courting, not realising it was scratched :)

Straight track at Flemington & Victoria Park???

Yeah could be... Pinjarra isnt one of my shining lights either... It has a big straight I think ... from memory

They've only just introduced it there though. Only a couple of meetings so far.

MURRAY BRIDGE
Race 8 - 14 GENERAL'S PRINCESS & 6 TUNGSTEN LAD (14,6,8,13 - 2,1)


Handy little trifecta. :)

Also the First 4 from the top 4 tips for those that could take one on that race.

I really need to wear glasses... I ahve backed a thing at 100s on Betfair that I had no intention of backing at all...

and it ran like 100 to 1 pop.. no real harm done tho... the horse I intended to back ran 2nd... so all is good :)

:) nothing for me today..
A Sir La, Don't tell Clang and Leondade Party all failing...

i've seen the replay of Dont Tell Clang and she looked in trouble..something wrong with the stride there ..we'll hear more i'm guessing..
had a couple of wins with my slab bets but all in all a dissapointing day...
1 wining day from 5 and that win was when Patric won on protest..
in a rough patch of late....hoping to turn it around tomorrow,,,,

Hope you guys made a killn :)

ASCOT is a bit of a a trap at the minute.. I was going great guns at Belmont... a couple of times 6/8 on top.. I cannot buy a winner (at a price) at Ascot at the moment

Paul Harvey 4 rides today and not a single placing. What are the chances of that???

[Sportz]

Hope you guys made a killn :)

I went well with multis. Tried for 2 first 4s and got them both, plus a few handy trifectas. Didn't do as well as a couple of people who got the cup trifecta though!!! :eek:

[maverick1993]

well done Sportz ..would of been nice to get the cup tri and 1st4 ..always good value ....my hopes went out the door when the sun came out,,,Ascana loves the wet ( thought the run wasnt to bad considering the ride).....

Hoping the stable finds some form..
Weribee
*Mary's Flag
Bunbury
*Mav's Honour (looks the omen bet of the day)
Ipswich
*Fresh Cream, *Ragged Blossom, *Overtothree..

Hey guys,

Well done XPT with your advice RE Garidar running a cheeky race. !3 dollars for the place, would have added value to multis for anyone who followed your advice.

What i wanted to ask was, is Lions Gate still racing. I just watched the 2004 Derby replay on TVN where Lions Gate led them up. I don;t recall hearing much/anything about this horse for ages.

Thanks,
TS

Werribee Race 5 Number 6 Another Archie.

I Blackbooked Another Archie after its last run when it came from last on the turn to run 3rd. Up in distance today, i was hoping for reasonable odds like last start but i dont think i will get them. May jump favourite, and if does would suggest multiples betting only.

Good luck today maverick. Marys Flag = Private Mary at werr?

Another Archie flew home but needed the speed on early in the race. Just didnt get it and in the end the leaders were able to hang on. I am prepared to stick with it though.
