Albany race 4:

(4) Sir Donald (EW special) from (2) Dai Lo Ban, (3) Predict & (1) Yelmar Boy.

1st & 2nd but the one I wanted was unplaced. Not performing anywhere near what he can do. Most disappointing.

Ah well, let's try race 6.

(10) Satin Special, (2) Super Tom, (7) Irish Whistler & (9) Nicantique.

Ascot tomorrow - wed 29th Jan

R1: Pretty open race to start the day. Three runs back from a spell & addition of blinkers, should have Final Prospect ready to win. Dancing Tycoon main danger - goes well fresh, third pick Essential Terms (also addition of blinkers). Also a chance at odds - Tasty Tycoon.

R2: Express That Smile should be ready to produce following two starts from a spell. Navedano goes well fresh. Also include Weeds, good Melbourne form & goes well fresh. Also a chance at odds - Bring It Home Babe.

R3: Extremely open race. Platinum from Bandolero & Paris Raider. Chance at odds - Le Dolphin.


R4: Jag Talk back to a suitable distance, Aunt Katie & Ireland Queen the main dangers. One at odds - I'm Coming Home.


R5: Should be run at a good clip. Dela Ventosa to outstay them, Elvis Rules a danger, and a couple at odds - Final Affair & Tantivy.


R6: Another race that should be run at a good clip. Scenic Cruise should be running on at the business end, main dangers Communique & Bonna Bonita. One at odds - Fandang - goes well fresh.


R7: Doesn't seem to be a lot of speed in this race. Should play into the hands of Polish Pleasure. Main dangers, Launder & Pi Meson. One at odds - Rodeo Man.


R8: Should be speed on. Expect a big run from Pienodze - goes well fresh. Bay Of Mine also goes well fresh. And a couple at odds - End Path & Ace O'Class.

Not bad goin there El Gordo :wink:

I see a couple of scratchings, some placings & six winners including the longest price of the day. Well done again.

Probably understating your achievement El Gordo, you landed the six winners with your top two picks. For those who take the quaddie in WA, 3 of the winners were your top selection. Paid a bit under $1,400. The only one you missed was Clan Noble which started fav. :eek:

Once again, well done!

Thanks Paddy, glad to see that at least one forum member appreciates my efforts.

I more than appreciate your comments especially who you think will lead, pace will be on, big finishers etc
While I don't follow your tips exact its give one confidence if another is thinking the same way.
I fancy Sir Honour in the 5th at Pinjarra today. He is 3rd up, down in grade and was only beat 3 3/4 last start at Ascot when racing from the back and the leaders coming home in 35.04. Knuckney has kept the ride.
Dangers Admiral Black, Scenic Smile and Young Hector
Comments before the race appreciated

El Gordo - great effort on the 29th.

GeneralGym - My ratings for the Pinjarra R5 have Young Hector on top from Admiral Black with Charge Down, Scenic Smile and Royal Crimson all very close. However I have the race as a "no bet" for a number of reasons. Good luck if you have a try.

You are going great guns El Gordo, keep it up mate.

Had a quick look at Pinjarra yesterday, didn’t really fancy the meeting as a betting medium.

Sir Honour having his first start over the middle distance and as you have stated GeneralGym is only 3rd up after a spell. No idea how he will go, and will no doubt benefit from the run - good luck with him.

Agree that Admiral Black is a good chance. Showed a lot of promise in his earlier career. Has been placed at only two middle distance starts – last start win over 2000m in good time for the class.

Also agree Young Hector a chance. Meets the topweight Charge Down 2kg better for a last start 0.25len defeat over the 2000m.


Royal Crimson ran a close 3rd in the same race and meets both Charge Down & Young Hector better at the weights. Back to a class 1 after failing in a class 3 (2200m) last start. In the class 3 race, raced ungenerously early and raced wide in later stages.


Song Of Alamo finished in front of Royal Crimson in that class 3 race & meets Royal Crimson slightly better at the weights.
