2006 TIPS
 

Okay, not really serious about anything today. Having said that, I think you could do worse than follow Greg Ryan at Inverell. He appears to have some good rides. Anyway, for what it's worth, here are a few thoughts for today:

Inverell R3 - 3 LIBBY'S RAINBOW, 1 Timbers
Inverell R5 - 6 TOP BEAT, 2 Amaizing Lady
Inverell R6 - 4 BELVOIRE, 5 Hayil Stone Miss
Inverell R7 - 2 FRISCO'S HAREM & 5 DESKTOP MAGIC
Inverell R8 - 2 IRISH LOUP, 5 Lambeth Walk
Ascot R8 - 6 BLACK TOM & 2 EARLY EXPRESS

Tread warily. Tomorrow's racing looks FAR better.

new plan of attack
 

is this with your new ratings sportz..........
............cheers........slowman...............

I'm particularly keen on Frisco's Harem....looks amazing value

No mate. As I said, I'm not taking today too seriously. I did do some quick ratings for the Inverell and Perth Cups, but the other races were just my personal assessments after looking at the form. I'm wary of the Perth Cup as I think something could possibly upset the two favs. I think the Inverell Cup looks like it may be a good betting race.

This year, I'm going to really concentrate on major metro racing days and feature races, because that's where I do best.

..... or perhaps not.

Well, Greg Ryan managed 2 wins from the 5 races I thought he had a chance in. I thought he may have done even better than that, but if you had backed him for the win in those 5 races, you would have shown a profit.

Oh no, a protest. Surely not. :o

Wouldn't it just be typical if one of my horses successfully protested against another one of my horses and I end up with 2nd, 3rd & 4th!!! :(

What the hell happened there??? Sorry. :o

Phew. Protest dismissed. Thank goodness.

Happy new year

Eroyd,

As I said, I'm concentrating much more on the major metropolitan meetings this year, so I'm not sure about tipping specials on a day like this.

Anyway, I've picked out a few races for today.

P. Mac R6
Top picks: 1 FIVE BOB & 4 YARRAS
(1,4,5,7 - 2,3)

P. Mac R7
Top Pick: 1 NATURAL DESTINY
(1,5,2,4)

Benalla R4
Top picks: 1 SNIP THE DOCTOR & 2 SULTAN OF SWING
(1,2,3,5)

Benalla R6
Top pick: 1 COUNT TO ZERO
(1,3,5,6)

If I had to pick out a couple of best bets today, then it would be Natural Destiny and Count To Zero.

A few others for people to think about today:
P. Mac R4 - 1
P. Mac R5 - 2 (EW)
Benalla R7 - 3
Benalla R8 - 3

Yeah, what's going on??? :)

Hmmm, no pressure. :)

XPT, I don't think you need my tips when you can find Invocera Lad on top in your ratings for Benalla R2!!! Well done.

I dunno about that.... U seem to have plenty of winning days.... when mine crash and burn so maybe I can cash in on your expertise as well.. the more the merrier :)

I can see why you like to have a minimum price on your bets, xpt.

I liked numbers 1 & 2 in R4 at Benalla, but I just didn't like the prices they ended up. I thought there might be a bit more value than that. In the end, I simply decided to have a small quinella & trifecta on 1,2,3,5 and was quite pleased with the result.

Looks like the other ones I picked out are going to be short too.

Well, I had a feeling that Idria might be a danger to Count To Zero today, so I'm glad I DIDN'T make it a "best bet". :D Again, no real value in that race. The trifecta was tiny. I managed to find the trifecta and first4 in R6 at Port Macquarie and the divs were a bit better there.

The racing looks VERY ordinary tomorrow for a Wednesday. In any case, I think I'll give myself the day off from tipping tomorrow because it's my birthday. :D

Many happy returns Sportz :)

happy bday sportzy
 

i've got a real good way to take it easy on your bday.........
go out and get S.H.I.T. faced tonight and you'll have to take it easy..........

Okay, couldn't help myself. There's a few I'm looking at. Not taking it very seriously though. Just a few small bets.

E.FARM R3 - 1 JACHAZE (dangers 2 & 3) (1,2,3 - 8,6,13)
E.FARM R6 - 2 MIGHTY VICTORY (dangers 1 & 4) (2,1,4 - 3,5,7)
WYONG R5 - 1 HANDBAG FORTUNE (dangers 5 & 6) (1,5,6 - 3,4,2)
WERRIBEE R4 - 8 ANAIS (dangers 1 & 3) (8,1,3 - 5,10,2)
BUNBURY R8 - 8 TROPICAL SWELL (dangers 1 & 2) (8,1,2 - 3,4)

Hope you had a great birthday Sportz, your back in form with with the selections.:D

Good tipping again Sportz. Best wishes for a great day. Your contributions to the forums are much appreciated whether they be tips, competitions or just general input.

CANTERBURY R5 - 3 LENO & 4 ZAROUK (danger 1) (3,4,1,7 - 5,9,11)
CANTERBURY R7 - 1 DAIJOBO'S SUCCESS & 7 SCISSION (danger 2) (1,7,2,4 - 5,8,9)
MUSWELLBROOK R3 - 1 DAN CITY (1,3,2 - 4,5)
MUSWELLBROOK R4 - 1 SPIRITED EXPRESS & 3 TEMBELLA (danger 2) (1,3,2 - 12,10,6)
YARRA VALLEY R5 - 7 PRINCE JOSHUA (7,4,10,2 - 8,6,11)
YARRA VALLEY R8 - 3 IRIS IN THE GLEN (EW) (dangers 4 & 2) (3,4,2,7 - 9,10,6)
STAWELL R8 - 2 ALLENBY'S MATE (2,1,5 - 6,3,8)

Too many tips for a Thursday I'm afraid. Not selective enough.

Cant R5, Musw R4 and Stawell R8 were races that I added to my original 4 tips, and none of them won. Not smart!

how old ,i'd say about 34 0r 35

I'd say you're about 4 or 5 years out. ;)

MACKAY R7 - 4 MERSEY BEAT (4,1,6,3 - 5,8)
ALBURY R7 - 4 MOONCOIN MAGIC (EW) (4,1,5,8 - 6,9)
TAREE R6 - 1 MELODYSSEY (1,2,4,7 - 3,12,5)
BALLARAT R4 - 7 POINT OF CALL (7,1,3,9 - 4,10)
BALLARAT R6 - 3 TRIGGERED (EW) (3,6,1,4 - 8,7,5)
BALLARAT R7 - 6 IMPINGE (6,7,8,5 - 10,4)

Tough day today. Most confident about Point Of Call and Triggered (EW). Let's see how we go.

:( Disappointing.

Did exactly the same thing today with Impinge. Will I ever learn??? :rolleyes:

A bit disappointing today after a good start. Very nearly made 1 & 4 equal top picks in R7 at Albury instead of tipping the 4 each way. Would have been a better result.

which way over or under
either way its a milestone 30 or 40?
cheers ,hope u had a good 1

40 is next year, Rabz. :)
