Hi crew,
I'm going to try and see if we can carve out a crust backing only the finest horseflesh, predominately for the PLACE.

Rules:
1/ Minimum standard - black type
2/ Back for the place unless <=1.60 for the win SP in the morning on Tatts.

Today's selections:
Flemington
2.55pm 5 - 9 Snitzerland (1.60/1.08)
Warwick Farm
3.15pm 5 - 8 Lights of Heaven (7.5/2.25)
Flemington
3.35pm 6 - 2 Manighar (3.4/1.48)
Warwick Farm
4.35pm 7 - 2 Rain Affair (1.55/1.16)

The selections are based on my own thoughts, using the benchmark figures provided by racing NSW and racing VIC.

Have a glorious Saturday, I'll be out at Flemington. Can't wait!!!

Nice one Schmilemeister.

Bring back a saddle bag full of cash, son.

Can we add our thoughts on this idea or would you like to keep it as your selections only?

Thanks LG,

I've taken a few early prices, so nothing left to do but have a few sparkling bevvies and watch the magic unfold.

Shaun, ideas are very welcome!!

No cigar today,

Some super runs from a Majors perspective. Lights of Heaven was very disappointing!

My most exciting moment racing-wise today, was watching Danleigh do the business at the Farm. Nine years of age. Legendary.

I'd love to see some input on how to attack the black type races this Spring. So let the ideas/methodologies flow!!

Out 4 In 3.1 P/L -.9

1) Win S/R in excess of, or thereabouts of 50%
2) QLD, SA or even WA based horse, and of course NZ. This form seems underrated when you compare the Melb and Syd form, but it does hold up.
Logic is that you'll get good odds about a good horse that the trainer thinks has a chance (otherwise, why would he / she make the trip?)
3) Scratch Gai Waterhouse horses, overbet and overrated, and dont win in Melb in the Spring.
4) Do not bet on international jockeys
