Five o'clock shadow
 

Tks Sven,


Thought that a bolter would get up that race i had a coupla

Bucks on......good start to the day.

VIRAGE DE FORTUNE/FASHIONS AFIELD can't realy split these two and we will throw in NEVIS/SHANIA DANE/LA MONTAGNA to fill the minor placings

What the hell happened in the 10000? :eek:

chuck had 1000 on the trifecta.....walked home with 100 million in his pocket....

i wish!!!!

can't believe it......my picks finished nowhere

What a distaster!

After having looked at the form of those first 3 across the line, theres no way i'd ever have backed them. Good on whoever got the mutiples in that race though, christmas has come early :D

Sven

Yeah, weird. I looked at the race over and over again and I couldn't make up my mind, so I decided to leave the race alone. Wise decision.

Unbelievable result there in the 10,000 and I must admitt I looked for a reason to back Undue as it put in some good runs in Melbourne just didn't like it's last effort one thing is for certain Show Biz Kid lost me for good today no reason for a very ordinary performance.

Summary
Race 1.
Backed Con Con and Duke Sam and was feeling pretty good halfway down the straight...dont know how Masi Pride did it,,fantastic run....but left me with 2nd and 3rd and nothing ...

Race 2.
Well Mameluke stayed in the gates and that was it,,made up good ground and will keep... thought Rampant lion was again very strong....0 for 2 and struggling..

Race 3.
Fantastic run by Fiveoclockshadow ,,,great pick Sven ..i had alittle e/w on pirate queen and did nothing...just didnt like this race as i knew there was to much scale for improvement in a number of these runners..
0 for 3

Race 4.
How do u follow Coalesc..runs some shockers but at times looks a million bucks...Classic Karla my tip put in a huge Brissie Cup trial..was never closer than 3 or 4 wide the whole way with no cover..to finish where he did was huge...i think hes still on track for the big one..
0 for 4

Race 5.
Starlactic was fantastic...Sir breaky very good first up and Shysu ran very well considering he wastn leading..,,backed Sir Breaky here for the win but got a piece of the 1st4 so atleast something to get me going in the right direction.
1 for 5

Race 6.
Belmonte always looked to good,,but what about Master Denis,,huge run and i was cheering my head off down the striaght,,still a nice place divie, tri ,exacta and 1st4 result...very happy here....belmonte is impressive..runs straight and gains another 2 lengths..
2 for 6

Race 7.
Ouch..SBK had no excuses..copped a couple of bumps but still should have run beter...St Basil was excellent and those 17's for the straddie is looking very very nice..
I underestimated Undue...i wrote him off last start as he had the coat and was alittle chubby,,,looked good today after that run and he still looks like he'll improve for his target race the straddie...,,,
what a result.....only positive i'm taking out of this race is St Basil...go the old boy.
2 for 7

Race 8.
To much weight on Single Rose today..we were all on her...she had no chance ..Mosso again just missed out...backed this horse for 2 seconds already so i'm atleast glad it wasnt 3 for me...
2 for 8 :(

Not a great day in brissie for me today...i was quietly confident to...especially the first 2 races and Classic Karla..oh well
Races 5 and 6 were both nice results but a loss for me..
Well Done Sven today...Masia Pride, Fiveoclockshadow, Starlactic ,Belmonte ,,,50% on a hard day..hats off old chap ..

Sydney
Forestreno,,,saddle slipped,,forget he ran..
Silkn Money...WOOHHOOOO nothing to much to cheer about today and really needed this ..soooo close to the 1st4 ,,tri was nice though...

Newcastle
Knot Now,,,again has me in with a good closing 4th...,,next time..

Gold Coast
Mitani....to good,,,,my best rater of the day....just to short to back,,,Beamer was eyecatching..

Toowoomba
Rear Admiral,,,,just got to far back..copped heaps of checks,,,hit the line nicely..
Socialist,,,,YES FINALLYYYYYYY WOOOHHOOOOOOOOOO finally wins a race for me..the horse has a stack of talent and when i need him the most he gets up for me...what a champ..nice result for me with the tri aswell...

13 bets today ,,with 2 winners and 2 other positive races...hard day but SilknMoney gets me out of trouble..that 100/1 shot that finished 4th killed my 1st4 which would have been very very nice,,had 5th , and 6th but thats always typical..
Socialist not only got me out of the poor house but half the drunks at the Hamilton aswell,,surprised it paid $5,,,they all think i'm a champion even after giving them shockers for most of the day...goes to prove your only as good as your last tip :) they'll just drink it up anyway but atleast they'll have some cab fare home..

ps Sovereign Miss will keep for a good track..but still ran a great race on the slow in the wrong part of the track again today...they should send her up here Luv2 ..

Great day at Doomben...perfect weather...no place like home :)

Hope you guys had a good one...Well done again Sven..your shout at the bar.

G'day Mav,

First of all, cheers. I had a good day tipping wise, just a shame i wasn't betting :D. Oh well, thems the breaks.

Masai Pride was an enormous run under the circumstances, though the time wasn't anything special. The ran roughly 8-9 lengths slower than the 10000 so its a concern...but you gotta be impressed with how he handled missing the start. Better things in store i think.

Not much to note in the 2nd, great ride from Rodd on the winner. Mameluke next time at EF over the same distance will be winning.

Great win by Fiveoclockshadow. I thought there'd be good improvement in this bloke. Got a lot of time for this trainer, doesn't appear to have many horses but gets some nice wins (Son of Dane, Funlove and now this bloke). Impossible to miss lasoron though, horse of the future. If he presses onto the sires and Tj he'll run well.

Ordinary bunch in the 4th. No champs and the Brissy Cup winner wasn't in this field, but good luck to em.

Starlactic is a top, top top horse. I can't say enough good things about him. He's just so genuine and tough. Thought he'd be a little vulnerable today with the awkward alley and the jump in class, but he brained them. Onwards and upwords though i think the days of getting 4s about him in races are gone :D.

Belmonte was great and Master Denis was super. Master Denis will derive so much from that run its not funny. Great Derby chance for mine. take nothing away from the winner though, had em covered on the line no worries. Singspiels are going great guns.

10,000 a total blowout and the form will be dodgey. Noticed La Montagna got to the line OK altho beaten a fair way. She'll be better suited under the Straddy conditions. Daunting Lad was deep and that ruined him. If he draws an alley in the Straddy hes a nice chance.

Nice win by Vocalic in the last too, Easy Rockings are going well. He had a big wrap on him early on this bloke, but has obviously just needed time to mature. Single Rose ran OK but as Mav said, wasn't going to win with all of us onboard :D. My Son Day becoming costly in these races, though i'd prefer a better jockey next time.

Good days racing today, can't wait for Eagle Farm next week!

Cheers,

Sven

Well bad result for me yesterday blew my ass on Show Biz Kid and for the last time I must say he is quickly heading to the never back again book.

Race 1: Whilst Myagi didn't run anywhere I thought it's run was credible was 3 wide most of the way with cover and thought it hit the line nicely still certainly a chance in town on that effort I didn't actually back the horse but was happy enough with what I saw out of it.

Race 2: Had a bit of a go at Mameluke after the confidence Sven and Mav had and it did hit the line nicely just to far back had a very small win bet on Rampant Lion and thought it was a solid run if not spectacular. Bad loss here.

Race 3: Stayed out of this one the more I looked at the race the harder it got should have listened to Sven here could have picked something up on a dreadful day.

Race 4: Had a bit of a go at Duoro Valley here and the run was ok but certainly not overly inspiring infact as a whole i think I would struggle to pay the feed bill for most pf those horses in that race. Loss again

Race 5: Had a good win here on Starlactic just a shame the rest of QLD was on her aswell pretty good odds really and I agree will be the last time we see it go out at those odds again. Nice win

Race 6: Ended up just sticking with Master Denis here and thought his was a fantastic run used up a bit early on to go to the lead but Colless rode him a treat really if he goes on as much as I think he can from there I am with Mav there is your Derby horse, Belmonte is a great horse but he does alot wrong it is going to cost him eventually. small e/w pickup.

Race 7: Well what can I say it is races like these that make me want to stop punting you think you have it worked out and something like that happens, Had a big go at Show Biz Kid and had a triffecta, Quinella and 1st 4 on the race only to watch it all go up in smoke. St. Basil was a great run but I have come to expect nothing else from that horse just a fantastic horse thought that Miss Potential may have put in a nice trial for the Straddie although I amnot sure she could win that leading maybe off the pace like yesterday might give her a bit more chance, Star Shiraz is another I would keep an eye on from a Straddie point of view. Very bad loss.

Race 8: I balked at Single Rose in the end and I am glad i did still backed her but didn't even have a quarter of what I was going to have on her. Small Loss

I had a few nice pickups in other places unfortunately I didn't have the time to post my other states tip on here. Got a nice result in Sydney with Agua Corriendo who I back most times it comes to town usually because it always puts in a nice run at very big odds yesterday was no different in fact I would go as far as saying if they had a senior rider on it wins the race and really would have bailed me out for the day.

Just one of them days I guess ohwell time to sit back andwait for next week I guess.

By the way congrats Sven excellent effort there mate.
