Started looking over the Caulfield card for Sat. (Our Fri. night) and it really does look like a very exciting day. I will definitely be playing the Aussies tonight after I took home to HUGE exacta savers at Saratoga yesterday. A Dynaformer who had just broken his maiden on turf coupled with a South African import (Jacarandi Jane) from Team VAlor Stables came back @$350 for $2 (odds of 10-and 9-1). My main play ran out but who cares. In the race before that, I played the front end speed on the turf (as it is holding on the inner turf-a RARE occurence) and got Ramon Dominguez to will a $9.00 horse home through the stretch being chase by no less than 6 closers. Luckily the Santos ridden 10 got up for 2nd at 30-1 and created a $430 exacta! I had both of these but gave a substantial bit back. Still came out way on top for the day so I have a bankroll for the weekend. Saratoga and Caulfield here I come! I hate to ramble about American racing here guys but I figure it may give you an edge come Breeder's Cup or Dubai Cup. Remember Ramon Dominguez. He is a young rider who has all the skills of the best and I mean Jerry Bailey, Gary Stevens, Chris McCarron, Franki Dettori, Kieran Fallon, best but still gets a nice price due to his stature as a small track(Delaware Park- my home track) rider. All the trainers and all the other riders know who he is. He won the Breeder's Cup Turf on Better Talk Now last year and gets all of Graham Motion's mounts. He always gives it his all so remember you heard it hear first when he becomes THE American jockey in a couple of years. He'll be switching his tack to New York sometime soon.

Is it raining cats and dogs at Caulfield and/or Randwick today? I hear the talk about the heavy going and the weather site I got on had all these severe weather warnings posted. ANy info on how these tracks play towards closers or speed and on heavy going? Looking at the form for Randwick it looks like closers have the edge to me. I looked at the Randwick 1A and I might take a flyer on Agua Corriendo as he might like the extra furlong if he can take to the heavy and use Jon Ron, Hassle(fav?), and High Cee(could get the whole thing at a nice price with Boss aboard). Do you think Boss had the choice between Sir Craiglee and High Cee in this race? In the US this happens alot and reflects the horses readiness and since High Cee looked pretty good in his return since April, he could be sitting on a big one. Just one Yankee's opinion.
