Wexford is back on the punt
 

The bank has 1200 in it, there is a spring in the step and I am raring to go.

Great racing at Caulfield and an even card at Rosehill.

My 1st bet of the day will be in the 5th at Caulfield, RUBIJON 10x10. He has been up a while but has a reasonable barrier for a change. WHOBEGOTYOU 20x20 in 6th at the heath. Sparkling 1st up effrort and will be improved. PHELAN READY 20x20 in the Golden Rose is ready to fire and the last bet for the day will be in the 7th at Caulfield, MASKED ASSASSIN 10x10 races well fresh and a good draw should see him well postioned on the fence behind the leaders.

120 outlay

Saturday 5/9/09
 

Heading interstate for a few days.
Saturday 29th could have been a ripper with a bit more luck.
Rubijohn ran third (10x4.60), Whobegotyou 2nd (20x1.70) and Masked Assassin 3rd (10x4.200 with Phelan Ready finishing down the track.
Return 122.00 profit 2.00. Bank now 1202.

Saturday 5/9
FLYING RUBY 10x10 in Flemington Race 5 finished off really well at return and performs well 2nd up. PREDATORY PRICING 40w in Race 6 looks to, at least have fitness on his side, great performance 1st up.HANDSUPFORDETROIT 20x20 in Randwick Race Race 5. Only a just an effort 1st up but Begg keeps talking this one up and if it doesn't run a place this than we can write it off as a carnival horse.In the last at Randwick ALBERT THE FAT 10x10 on its last performance can take this out.

Outlay 120.00

Saturday 12/9
 

Sat 5/9 - Ouch but could be considered a normal result
Loss 120 total loss 118
Bank 1082

MV is not my favourite track but I will be having a flutter on HERE DE ANGELS in R6 10x10, well boxed and will run a great race. SHOCKING 20w is having his 1st run on the track in the last and should go close. Rosehill R2 will see my money go around on GOLDAM 10x10 whilst RACING TO WIN 20x20 in R6 ticks nearly all of the boxes and in R8 RECOUP DE FORTUNE 10x10 should be at his peak at his 4th run back, well drawn.

Fingers crossed.

Saturday 19/9/09
 

Disappointing last week with only the one collect and that was mainly due to a subperb ride by by Bowman on Racing To Win (4.20/1.90) giving a 2.00 win
Overall loss $116.00

This week I am staying with Caulfield today and will have the 1st bet of the day in Race 5 with 20.00w TRUSTING. A ripper of a run in the Golden Rose in stronger company, can collect the bikkies in this. The extremely promising RAFFAELLO 20x20 in Race 6 looks the pea in Race 6 whilst in Race 7 PREDATORY PRICING 10x10 will improve on his last start performance when he pulled hard and lugged out for a fair bit of the race.DOLLOPS 10x10 in Race 8 could spring a surprise with a solid finish and an improved performance by RED LORD 10x10 in the final event hopefully will cap off a good days punting.

BOL to all.

Wow, amazing............. they all placed at least, should give tips everyday :)

Nice pickup on Red Lord I was spruiking it myself last start only to be disapointed had a little on it today looks like you had a good day anyway.

Saturday 26/9/09
 

The punting gods were on my side last week, hope they hang around for today's punt.
Raffaello 3rd (20x1.60=32.00), Predatory Pricer 3rd (10x3.20=32.00), Dollops 3rd (10x4.30=43.00)and Red Lord 1st (10x12.30/3.60=159.00). Profit for the day 146.00 resulting in an overall profit of 30.00.

Today I am having a try at Royal Randwick for the investment. First go will be in the 4th in which I fancy the toppy HOTEL CASINO 10x10 with a 3 kg claim and reasonable first up form.In R5 I like SNOW ALERT 10x10, drawn well and is race fit, should get nice cover and may surprise.RACING TO WIN 40w ticks every box in R6. Race 7, VOICE COACH 20w has the form on the board to take this out and in the last I am tipping CHINCHILLA ROSE 10x10 she is capable of springing a surprise 1st up and is at good eachway odds.

BOL all and oh, the best bet of the day is Geelong.... goooooooo the Cats.

Saturday 3/10
 

A disasterous punting day was last Saturday,total wipe out of the 120.
Overall loss 90.00
Bank 1110.00

What a day it is with Group racing on the eastern seaboard and I will be at Flemington where my first bet of the day will be MISS DARCY 10x10 in R4 who's last run can be forgotten due to the fact that it was knocked rotten during the race.PRAVANA 10x10 in R5 goes very well 1st up and is right in this whilst in R7 PREDATORY PRICER 10x10 will be carrying my money after a good run last start when he over raced, blinkers are off which will help. In R8 sees the return of one of my favourites, ALL SILENT 20x20, drawn well for his style of racing and will be running on fast, Ist up runs are ok without winning. In the last I am going for one at odds, PILLAR OF HERCULES 10x10 who has ability and he may start to show it as a 5yo entire, the fact they have kept him intact indicates to me that stable think he has something to offer.

Saturday 10/10/09
 

Nice days work at Flemington thanks to a brilliant ride by Nicholas Hall aboard All Silent.
Miss Darcy 2nd 10 x 2.80, Predatory Pricer 2nd 10 x 2.00 and All Silent 20 x 13.50 and 20 x 4.50 - Total collect 408.00, profit 288.00 O/all profit 198.00
Bank 1398.00

What a day, sunny, 20 deg and a great programme at Caulfield.

I will kick off the day with 10x10 on KANZAN in race 3, lightly raced and a nice effort 1st up behind Stryker at R/hill.I am staying with RACING TO WIN 10x10 in race 6, last run was too bad to be true and on his best form would go close. In race 7 I am with SO YOU THINK 20 x 20 and I do think he can win, another lightly raced performer with enormous potential. Bart again in race 8 with DANDAAD, drawn wide but has run 2 useful races since resuming and was unlucky not to have finshed closer last start. In the last I fancy TOOTSIE 10x10,could not get a crack at them last start, 3rd run back should see her go close

BOL to all.

Saturday 17/10/09
 

Not too much damaged done last week with just 2 placings, Kanzan 10x3.80 and Tootsie 10x2.50 giving a return 63.00 and a loss of 57.00 showing an overall profit of 147.00 and a total bank of 1347.00.

Caulfield Cup day has arrived with overcast conditions and a dead surface even though we have had a fair bit of rain. My 1st bet of the day will be SNIPER'S BULLET 20x20 in R5,having his 4th start this campaign after a couple of good runs and drawn to win. In R6 I am staying with CHINCHILLA ROSE 10x10, ran on well 1st up at R/hill and has won 2 over the distance.My bet in the Cup is ROMAN EMPEROR 10x10, Bart trained so hoping he can improve on his dismal Turnbull performance, has the right track conditions and just hope it is a true reading.R6 sees a nice field of sprinters going around and I am tipping DIPLOMATIC FORCE 10x10, a 1st up specialist and a winner over the course and distance and can handle dead going. In R8 BOOGALOO 10x10 can win, finishes strongly over the shorter distances and hopefully will finish off a good day.

BOL to all those who dare.

Saturady 24/10/09
 

Just the one collect last week with Roman Emperor running 2nd in the CC 10x4.20. Return 42.00 giving a loss of 78.00 and an overall profit of 69.00. Bank 1269.00

To the Valley we go, not one of my favourite tracks but it is a good meeting.
First bet will be DEVOIRS (10x10) in Race 2,I've been watching this one and appears to have ability, well drawn and Williams, it will be the one to beat.RAFFAELLO (20x20) in Race 4. Dismiss last run and take on previous form, is my pick of the programme. In Race 6 DUPORTH (10x10) is the choice, great run behind All Silent at Flemington. In Race 7 THINK MONEY (10x10) is exactly what I'll be doing, drawn to get the run of the race and will be the one to keep out. I am sticking with PRAVANA in the last, drawn the widest probably suits as she will get back and out of trouble, will fly home.

BOL

Saturday 31/10/09
 

A couple of placings last week limited the damage, Devoirs 10x3.80 and Think Money 10x2.80, a return of 66.00 and a loss of 54.00 on the day. Overall profit 15.00 and therefore a bank 1215.00.

Warm day for the Derby and great card too boot. The 1st bet will be 10x10 SIX O'CLOCK NEWS in R2, ran on well in the Geelong Cup to finish just behind the placings after being a long way back, unfortunately drawn wide and will get back. MORE THAN GREAT 20x20 is my choice in Race 4 and bet of the day,has good form around quality horses including the fav. In Race 5 I am sticking with RACING TO WIN 10x10, recent form is topsy turvey but if the real RTW turns up, he will go very close to taking it out.One from left field in the Derby Race 6, COMMONAGE CLOSE 10x10, at the moment a 50-1 pop,have had a little on it at each start since resuming and I am sticking, not a strong field and has been there abouts in lesser races. Race 9 and the get out stakes I am staying with SNIPER'S BULLET 10x10, form just soso but is capable of producing on his day and hopefully that day is today.

Until Cup day, enjoy and BOL

Tuesday 3/11/09 - CUP DAY
 

Bad one on Derby day but the racing was great. Sniper's Bullet 10x2.00 wasthe only collect. Loss on the day 100.00 giving an overall loss of 85.00 and a bank of 1115.00

Race 2 will see the 1st bet, LAMARR 10x10, having 3rd run back from a spell and should go close,Race 3 has the best staying maiden in Australia THINK MONEY 20x20 and should see the status broken. In Race 4 I like CHINCHILLA ROSE 10x10, runs on well and should be at her peak. HERE DE ANGELS 10x10 in Race 9 is overdue for a win and could get away with this. My pick for the Cup is DAFFODIL 10x10, her run in the CC was a gem and is one of the better chances.

BOL to all.

TOMORROW THURS 5/11/09 OAKS DAY
 

Ooooh, not a profitable Carnival so far but there are 2 days left. Cup day yielded another loss, this time 83.00 down as Lamarr 10x1.80 and Here de Angels 10x1.90, a return of 37.00 and an overall loss of 168.00 leaving a bank of 1032.00.

Oaks Day and Race 1 will start precedings an I am keen on TINTERN 20x20, has improved each run this time in, drawn well and obviously goes well for young Hall. Next in line is Race 2 and I reckon HAIRY 10x10 is a real chance, has an impeccable 1st up record and could put in a screamer. BOOGALOO 10x10 in Race 5 should figure, finished of brilliantly at last run and the 1400 and the long run in will suit. DIPLOMATIC FORCE 10x10 Race 8 is worth an ew bet, hasn't performed all that well up the straight but the 1100suits.KAAVERT in Race 9 is my roughie for the day, with the exception of the Geelong run other recent runs has been ok, just hoping.

Until the final day good luck.

Tomorrow Sat 7/11/09 Emirates Day
 

Finally cracked it for a winning day, albeit only just thanks to Tintern 20x 5.80/2.40 a return of 164.00 and a profit for the day of 44.00. The overall loss is 124.00 and a bank of 1076.00.

Tomorrow begins in Race 2and PLAYWRIGHT 10x10 is the selection, has run reasonably well 3rd run back and may run an improved race in this. ALL SILENT 20w in Race 5 has a 2nd to none chance. Phenomenal effort last start and a brilliant gutsy ride, same cobination, same result with a brilliant finish, smallish field and a good pace will see another salute.BLACK PIRANHA 10x10 in Race 6 is an excellent chance, now extremely fit and a solid miler. My best for the day is PRAVANNA 20x20 in Race 6 a remarkable run at the Valley to finish on top of the placegetters and the open spaces of Headquarters will ensure a big finish from this mare. Race 9 and BARWON EXPRESS 10x10 is the pea, nice run in Adelaide after impressive performance in Melbourne, a good get out bet,

BOL for the day

Saturday 14/11/09
 

Scraped home last week. Playwright 3rd 10x4.80 and All Silent 1st 20x3.70 returning 122.00 a 2.00 profit. Overall loss is 122.00 and the bank hold 1078.00,

Racing today is a pot pourri. With an eye to the summer racing carnival in Perth i will have one go at Ascot. The 1st bet of the day will be in Race 5 at Sandown FALAISE 10x10, will run the 1300 right out, something the favourites may no be able to do. Has not been far away at any of his starts this campaign and will be running on strongly.In Race 8 be prepared for an improved effort from the Sydneysider BRYANNBO'S GIFT 10X10 another one one with plenty of duck eggs that has had excuses and has been thereabouts in stonger company. In Race 7 at Rosehill I like PURRPURRLENA 20x20, was close up at it's 1st run from a spell and will benefit greatly from the outing, will go very close. Back to the last at Sandown and I like DANE JULIA 10x10. another one who has been thereabouts without winning, well drawn and I expect it to go close. Race 6 at Ascot will close proceedings for me today and ELLIOTTO 10x10 at his 4th run back will be at his peak although this is possibly at the limit of his distance range.

BOL to all.

Saturday 21/10
 

Much better result last week with 2 winners, Dane Julia 10x 10.70/3.60=143.00 and Elliotto 10x4.50/1.80=63.00, a return of 206.00 and a profit of 86.00 leaving an o/all loss of 36.00 and therefore a bank of 1164.00.

Today is an unusual punting day for me as I am staying away from Melb/Syd.
The 1st bet comes up in the 5th at Eagle Farm and HIKE 10x10 is my choice. Been in Qld for awhile now and this is its 3rd run back this prep. Although finishing 0/9 has not been far away in each run. FORBES 20x20 in Race 8 at the Gold Coast is my bet of the day, should have won last start instead of running 2nd at the GC. The Railway Race 6 Ascot will see LARGO LAD 10x10 carry the money, a great 1st up run at Flemington 3 weeks ago will see him strip fitter and is well suited here. In Race 7 I like NEW SPICE 10x10, 4th run back and the 2,200 shoud suit and will run well. In the last at Ascot I like the former Queenslander MAJORCA 10x10, well drawn and should get a nice run, can put in a finish on his day.

All those having a go today BOL

Hike? Not the strongest race but I didn't think it was that weak.

Saturday 28/11/09
 

After last Saturdays effort I was all set to cart myself off to the spelling paddocks for a couple of weeks but I have decided to give myself another run.

Total disaster, 120.00 down the tube with a total loss of 156.00 and a bank of 1044.00.

Kicking off early with PURRPURRLENA 20x20 in the 1st at Kensington, this is the perfect race for her and will be at its peak. FORBES 10x10 in the 3rd at Eagle Farm could be value, a senior jockey this time may make the difference.
In the 2nd at Ascot I like WIZARDS POINT 10x10, needed the run 1st up and won 2nd up last prep and may do the trick again.PINATAS 10x10 in the last at Kensington is my bet, ran an even race 1st up and finished off well, The last bet of the day will be ORTENSIA 10x10 in the Winterbottom, up against a couple of smart 3yos but could finish too powerfully for them.

BOL to all

Saturday 12/12/09
 

Had a let up with no contact with racing whatsoever for 10 days. Feeling refreshed and I fancy my chances this day.
Saturday 27/11 ended up square on the day Forbes 3rd 10x4.80, Pinatas 2nd 10x1.60 and Ortensia 1st 10x 3.80/1.80 and a return of 120.00 and a bank of 1044.00.

My 1st for the day will be PLAYWRIGHT 10x10 in the 5th at Flemington, missed the start and ran on very strongly from a fairway back last start, if it is ridden quietly may finish too well for them. Race 7 Flemington I like HOTEL CASINO 10x10, racing reasonably well and having his 1st start in Melbourne, not the norm for Begg to send horses down out of carnival time. Race 6 Brisbane i'm with DECEPTION BAY 10x10, from the draw should get a good run during the race and will be in the finish, form is sound. AL SAHRA 20x20 in the 7th at Rosehill could be the middle leg in a 2state and international treble for Begg and is my bet for the day, a great run at 2nd start behind the colts last start and drawn perfectly. The get out stakes in Flemington sees VITEX 10x10 could bowl along in front and take some catching, 3rd run back and had good form last prep.

Beast of luck for those investing.

Saturday 19/12/2009
 

Disappointing day last saturday, 3 placings - Playwright 10x2.80, Vitex 10x1.50 and Al Sahra 20x3.00 = 103.00 return and a loss for the day of 17.00 giving and o/all loss of 173.00. The bank is still holding up after 18 weeks with 1027.00 in the kitty.

Today is the last day to pay for the chicken, ham, prawns, lobster, oysters and refreshments for next friday. Not really confident with the 1st investment being GEEJAYHAITCH 10x10 in R4 at Flemington, Tasmanian who has had 2 runs this time in and will run the distance although it is a decent jump of 700m from it's last start. Race 5 Randwick is the next and PINATAS 20x20, drawn out and will get back but will be running on.PALACIO DE CRISTAL 10x10 in R6 Randwick is facing a decent rise in class but did have a very nice win at her last attempt. THE JACKAL 10x10 in R7 Randwick will appreciate the open spaces and long run in, should be racing fit at 4th run back.Finally to Ascot R5 and LARGO LAD 10x10 is the bet and for no other reason than i don't want him to get under my guard. Has ability but whether Ascots suits, we shall find out.

I wish all the very best for the festive season, enjoy and stay safe.

26/12/09
 

I hope all had a Merry Xmas.

No damaged done lastweek. 1 winner and a second, Palacio de Cristal 10x6.30/2.50 and Largo Lad 10/3.90 returning 127.00 and a tiny profit of 7.00. The bank is now holding 1034.00 and an overall loss of 166.00.

WILDLY EXCITED 10x10 will kick things off for me in R7 Caulfield. Has good form around this class and could finish up a handy stayer, 3rd run back after 2 good runs and did finish less than 3 lengths behind them in the St Leger.PINATAS 20w in R7 at Randwick is getting out to something longer after finishing off strongly in recent runs and a decent barrier will allow him to be better postioned. ALVERTA 20w R7 Doomben looks one of the better bets of the day, showed good form over the carnival and should continue on its winning way.R8 Caulfield has VINEGAR HILL 10x10 starting and was scratched from Morphetville, unlucky last start and is showing good form this prep and is being ridden off the speed, will go close. R8 ASCOT has another good bet in PETE THE PROFILER 40w, what a run last start, rattled home for a long way back on the turn.Will win this.

The last saturday punt of the year and I wish all a healthy and prosperous 2010

Gold Coast R5 FANTENE 10x10. About as far as she wants but the slow track will help.
Kembla Grange R7 HUCKLEBERRY FRIEND 10x10. Lightly raced 4 yo who broke through at 8th start and can do it again
Rosehill R7 BLACKBRIAR 10x10. Drawn well and has 1 in 2 place strike rate, 3rd run back and should be ready.
Moonee Valley R7 ALLIED FORCE 20x20. Can run well fresh and distant and track should suit.

Good punting to all

Saturday 9/1/10
 

Huckleberry Friend 10/2.40-1.20 and Fantene 3rd 10/2.80 were the 2 collects.A return of 64.00 and a loss of 56.00 on the day. Overall loss 183.00 and a bank of 1017.00.

Randwick R4 STIFLE 10x10 - 2000 will suit at 3rd run back. Came from back in the field to score last start and will be further improved,
Caulfield R6 MIND YOUR HEAD 10x10 - 2 runs back have been nice runs. a 7yo and may be taking that little bit longer to hit his straps and this his 3rd run back. Ready to fire.
Gold Coast R7 RED BELLY BLACK 10x10 -Good run at only start coming from last to win at Flemington. Likely type for this race.
Randwick R7 CLOTHING 20x20 - Great effort 1st up and has reasonable 2nd up form.Was trainers preference when scratched last week in which stablemate won.
Randwick R7 GOLDAM 10x10 - Carrington field too hot last start and much better suited here. Draw will suit.

GOLD COAST R4 - MR SHADOW BOXER 10x10 - 2 runs since coming from NZ have been ok.Ran on well Doomben 1030 last start and out to a distance more suitable.

FLEMINGTON R6 - MINNESOTA SHARK 10x10 - Somewhat disappointing last start but previous run was good enought to win this.

FLEMINGTON R7 - BOND STREET 10x10 - My outsider for the day. Has won over track and distance and is capable of handing in a decent run on the odd occassion.

ROSEHILL R7 - OFFHANDED 10x10 - Darley galloper. Can run well fresh and should get a nice run from the draw.

FLEMINGTON R8 - HUSSYANNA 20x20 -My value for the day. Out to an unknown distance but races as though she will handle the increase. Drawn to get a classic run behind the pace.

ROSEHILL R3 - PURRPURRLENA 10x10. Drawn well and should obtain a nice run. Senior jock on board and that may be the key to her.

EAGLE FARM R4 - CATTLEMAN 10x10. Consistent galloper and not without a good chance in this.

SANDOWN R6 - ESPRIT DE BULLET 10x10. Lightly raced with talent. Excellent run at Bendigo when he came from a long way back. Extra distance will suit.

SANDOWN R8 - BERTONIC 20x20. Ran a nice 4th 1st up and does perform well 2nd up.

ROSEHILL R8 - GERGIS 10x10. 3rd run back and should be ready to fire.Preferred distance and drawn perfectly. Should get the gun run.

RANDWICK R2 - DAYTONA BEACH 20x20.Couple of nice runs recently and out to a distance that should suit.Nicely drawn and should get a nice run and finish strongly.

CAULFIELD R6 - DANE KEEPER 10x10.Lightly raced 6yo g. Good strike rate and drawn perfectly. Finishes off strongly and should be peaking at 3rd run back.

CAULFIELD R8 - LARRY'S NEVER LATE 10x10.Lacking the dash he showed earlier on.Recent runs have been that of a plodding type and longer distances should suit.

RANDWICK R8 - HIDE 'N' DASH 10x10. 4yo mare with only 4 starts to her name and a 50% win strike rate.Ran on brilliantly Kembla 1300m, 300m further this time but is from capable stable. Looks above average.

DOOMBEN R8 - SNORKEL 10x10. This is a very open race with horses coming from all over Qld. Has weekday city form and can get home at the end of 1000m.

DOOMBEN R1 - OLLIE VILLIE 20w. Drawn the rails and should get the gun run.Brilliant win last start and if ridden with the same patience, will win.Has a very quick sprint.

RANDWICK R6 - PAGAN PRINCESS 10x10. Stepping out against some classy opposition.She shows promise and has been running on in all her races.The distance suits and could surprise.

FLEMINGTON R8 -FLYING MONTY 10x10. Roughie with some sort of chance. 6 yo mare with only 11 lifetime starts. Miust have shown connections something to keep her in work. Ran on well last start Sandown. Just a hunch.

RANDWICK R8 - TOBIQUE 10x10. Excellent 1st up effort and will be right in this.

GOLD COAST R8 - MR SHADOW BOXER 20x20. Collected the bikkies for me last start over course and distance. Ran on strongly and can do it again.

ROSEHILL R2 - KINGFISHER 10x10. Unraced and wellbred. Being drawn out will not hurt on a heavy 9. 1st start.

GOLD COAST R4 - MR SHADOW BOXER 20x20. Late scratching this venue last week. Will be running on.

DOOMBEN R8 - HUCKLEBERRY DANE 10x10. Maiden and is probably 50-100 metres short of optimum distance. Has been running on strongly in all 3 starts since resuming. With luck in running could run over the top of them.

CAULFIELD R8 - CLOTHING 10x10. Hoping that the track improves during the day as she does prefer a solid surface. Will be finishing on.

CAULFIELd R9 - DELAYED REACTION 10x10.Win record should be better than it is.Distance suits and is drawn nicely and has jock that will suit.

Best of luck to all.

Saturday 13/2/10
 

Lost a little last week but no real damage done. Mr Shadow Boxer 20/2.70-1.40 and Huckleberry Dane 10/2.30.Outlay 120.00, return 105.00, loss 15.00 and overall profit 190.00.

Some great racing around the country today.

Moonee Valley R3 ABSOLUTE FAITH 10x10. Could win better races. Ideally drawn and runs on.

Moonee Valley R6 OFFHANDED 10x10. Battles on and shows the Lonhro grit.Talented and suited in this. Handles all going.

Moonee Valley R9 KAAVERT 10x10. My outsider for today.Has been thereabout in his last 6 runs. Drawn well enough to take up good position and could finish off strongly.

EAGLE FARM R7 OLLIE VOLLIE 20x20. In great form and drawn perfectly again. With the gun run should sprint pass them in the closing stages.

RANDWICK R8 AT THE CREASE 10x10. New barn.Has been in my "promising talent stable" since the middle of last year. Has a 1st up win to its credit and can handle slow to good. Distance a shade short but the track conditions could help in the run home.

Enjoy a great days racing wherever you may be

Sat 20/2/10

ROSEHILL R2 KINGFISHER 10x10.Nice performance at debut. Ran on strongly and will have been improved. Great chance.

MORPHETVILLE R4 LAPEL 20x20. Very consisent and will be in the thick of things. Optimum distance.

CAULFIELD R7 SHE'S GOT GEARS 10x10.Drawn well and should race handier than she has been in recent runs. The surprise packet.

DOOMBEN R6 CHAKVETADZE 10x10.Racing very consistently of late and to be ridden by the jock of the moment. Should get the gun run and out sprint them.

CAULFIELD R9 CLOTHING 10x10.Needs everything to go right from this draw. Good track and patient ride are essentials.

Good luck to all.

Saturday 27/2/10

ROSEHILL R5 MAFIA MISS 10x10. Talented young miss. Drawn to get a nice run and I think the good track will suit. If they run along early she could be the one finishing over the top.

EAGLE FARM R5 FRETON 10x10.My roughie for the day.Runs on his races and has performed ok on rain affected tracks.

CAULFIELD R8 ABSOLUTE FAITH 10x10.Drawn well and has run good races behind some quality horses in her brief career thus far. Looks as though she will be suited by the distance.

EAGLE FARM R8 GURU 10x10. Sydney sider transfered to a Brisbane barn with same owners.Capable of surprising this lot and can handle dead tracks.Will run this distance out strongly.

Good luck to all.

SDaturday 6/3/10
 

Disappointing day but for a stride or two I thought it was going to be a ripper but alas it was not to be. Outlay 120.00, return 95.00, loss 25.00 and overall profit stand at 320.00

Flemington R5 GIGAS 10x10.It has been a long while since I've slung one of Gai's but I am really keen on this one. Right distance, beautifully drawn to get the box seat. Recent runs have been impressive and may take some running down in the last 100.

Morphetville R6 SILENT MARCH 40w.Only had 4 starts and could prove to be a good horse. Ridden without much judgement last start and has a change of hoop. My best for the day.

Warwick Farm R7 NEROLI 10x10. First up. has good 1st up form and has had 2 starts for 2 wins on the heavy.

Flemington R8 LITTORIO 10x10. Nice effort at 2 runs back after long layoff
and 2000 could suit at this stage of his preparation. Right track for him.

Flemington R9 FLYING RUBY 10x10. Conditions will suit. Last 2 runs have indicated that she could be ready to produce the form of 18 months ago and if she does...whammo.

Best of luck to all having a go.

Saturday 13/3/10
 

Saturday the 6/3/10, what an experience.

The abandonment of Flemington saved me from a total washout but not a drenching. Money back on 2 horses left me with a loss of 80.00 but still with an overall profit of 240.00. The bank has a balance of 1440.00.

Randwick Race 5 MAFIA MISS 10x10. Will improve on last couple of runs and drawn nicely.

Flemington Race 5 FLYING RUBY 10x10. Last couple of runs have indicated she is coming back into form. Will be finishing on strongly.

Doomben R6 BUZZY HENRY 10x10.Could surprise in this field. Due to produce a winning effort. Had excuses last start.

Flemington R8 LITTORIO 20x20. Has returned from a spell in fine fettle. 2 runs back have been impressive and an extra weeks work will have benefited him.

Randwick R8 BEAUCOUP 10x10. Can run a competent race 1st up and distance is suitable.

BOL to all

Saturday 20/3/10
 

A scratching and a placing were the results from last week.
Buzzy Henry scr 10.00 and Flying Ruby 10/6.10.
Outlay 120.00- Return 81.00 - Loss 39.00 - Profit 201.00 - Bank 1401.00.

A short betting list today.

Caulfield R3 COMMONAGE CLOSE 10x10. Drawn well and having 2nd run for new trainer. Having 3rd run back after Derby prep yielded no rewards.
Blinkers and a claim could do the trick.

Eagle Farm R4 BUZZY HENRY 20x20. Scratched last week when drawn wide. Better served from 4 and should get the run of the race.Will go close.

Rosehill R7 PALACIO DE CRISTAL 20x20. Possibly 1 run short after being withdrawn 2 weeks ago due to track condition but is a classy conveyance.

Caulfield R8 SYMPHONY MISS 10x10. From smart Adelaide stable. 2nd run back and drawn perfectly. Distance suits.

Best of luck

27/3/10
 

Another losing week with 1 placing Palacio De Cristal 20/2.50.
Outlay 120.00 - Return 50.00 - Loss 70.00 - O/all Profit 131.00 - Bank 1331.00.

Doomben R3 FREE TO ROAM 10x10. Lightly raced. Finished off strongly last start and can repeat the dose here.

Morphetville R4 LEGISLATURE 10x10. Improving each race and suited here.

Rosehill R5 MAFIA MISS 10x10. Last chance. Hopefully the blinkers will improve her. A chance if she can reproduce her 1st start effort.

Caulfield R6 TENZING 20x20. An improving young stayer with heaps of potential. Should beat these.

Rosehill R9 BEAUCOUP 10x10. Nice effort 1st up and will be improved and can match it with this lot.

BOL

Saturday 10/4 AJC Derby Day
 

Heading for a 6th consecutive losing week. Hoping that my punting guide guides me to a win today and stop the rot.

A loss a fortnight ago with only a placing, Legislature 10/3.40.
Outlay 120.00 - Return 34.00 - Loss 86.00 - O/all profit 45.00 - Bank 1245.00.

Randwick R6 MAFIA MISS 10x10. Sticking with her, ran on very nicely in the Magic Night and the longer distance will be right up her alley.

Randwick R7 ROCK CLASSIC 10x10. I reckon the Man can pull off another G1. This one has enough kilometres in his legs, drawn well and top jock.

Randwick R8 HARRIS TWEED 20x20. My Cup tip and can pick up 90gs for the connections on the way through.Very good run in the BMW and will be there at the finish.

Randwick R9 DEVOIRS 10x10.Ran on well and handed in a very nice run at Kembla over 1600. Ready for the 2000.

Ascot R5 WIZARDS POINT 10x10. Ran a much improved race last start. My longshot for the day.

BOL to all.

Saturday 17/4/10
 

6 losing weeks on the trot as a result of last weeks effort.
one placing Harris Tweed 20x2.00.

Outlay $120.00 - Return $40.00 - Loss $80.00 - Bank 1165.00 - O/all Loss 35.00.

Change of tactics - 3 bets only.

Caulfield R7 NICASTRO 20x20 - Racing very well and without luck in some races. 3rd start back and drawn suitably.

Randwick R6 PALACIO DE CRISTAL 20x20 - Set for this. Begg has her spot on and the extra distance will suit. Barrier 3 is of slight concern.

Caulfield R8 KEL'S GOLD 20x20. I am tipping a double from the young Bool trainer Jarrod McClean. Lightly raced and very promising. Lining up for 3 straight
