Woohoo ..wow what a finish ...Terrace was a great result for me ..no so much the merlot club..i tried to talk them out of it ..but we had a nice win on Square one so its all good..
had the tri and a bit of the 1st4 ....would of had the 1st 4 twice if Admiral spy got 4th ...thought he got there....
happy days as i was going to go the whole day in Brisie with out a win ...go Thorpe in the last..at huge odds

I cannot believe the odds that Smart and Mighty was hell that is huge odds for a horse which has raced pretty well in the past shame I wasn't taking any notice of the races at that stage might have had a bit on it at that price.

Race 1.
Silly to take on Countess Bathory here...the speed suited her and she was just to good...the speed didnt suit Sea Artist who was never in it..Asimba gave alot of cheek to finish close up....the 260 was more than i thought she'd be ..good value......a loss for the first
Race 2.
Nothing happening here..Bohieman dancer won for me a couple of starts ago but hes never convincing ..
Race 3.
Great tip Sven...Imprisoned looked to good ..was no value though ..but thought he ran pretty good....looks like 1200m might stretch him..
Race 4.
Nik Nak Noee was very prominent here and had no run on..just looked flat in the straight....thought he'd be out the back but a good win by Sequestrate and a really good run by cool scene..
Race 5.
Just way to hard here.....was never confident ..
Race 6.
Took on another big fav here and got stung again...maxy Legs just didnt get a fair crack at her..would of won imo ....
but still a good win by the Princess ..
Race 7.
Nice result here (and my only result)...Consular was super in defeat here..
Admiral Spy ran on as well..
nice tri and 1st4 result aswell......thank god
Race 8.
Wow what a win by the toppy....thorpe had his chance here ..looks flat now with no excuses ...give him a break i think..

1 from 5 today in brissie...... not a great strikerate..but ahead for the day ..
...thank you terrace ..

Sydney
Kiss my fuji was unlucky i thought.....the tri made up for it though,,but just
Winsome Dancer...ran on well,,,the others just to slick for her..
Square one ..nice result here ..missed the tri ..but still a win..
even day in Sydney ..
Melbourne
Nuts about jugah...just not good enough...ran poorly
Gold Member....still running i think...another poor result..
Leone Chiara ...not in this class...should have taken the 4,50 about super..
Stratton Place...looked good in the straight but no chance because i was on..
0 from 4 in Melbourne ....just cant win there ...
Adelaide..
Aerated ..huge result...huge result with the tri..this horse has saved my bacon 2 saturdays in a row..
Satin Spin ....another nice result...was very confident ..loving adelaide
Cool Response..,,,no more excuses for this one...hes gooooone

Echuca..
Devils Duchess...not sure what happened with her..but a loss just the same.
Toowoomba.
Still have Star Boulevard running around later...this horse won for me a couple of starts ago and saved from a loss that day..hopefully he looks after me today aswell

Hard day at the office...would of been nice cheering Terrace over the line at Eagle Farm...but a win for the day ...difficult day but i'm happy to be infront..if Star boulevard wins later on tonight i'll be cheering very loudly...

hope you guys had a win for the day

Midnight City looks to have come back well Chuck, good work. Did end up saving on him but what on earth happened to Genghis Khan, drifted out the gate and ran accordingly. I'm calling for a royal commission.

I was about to back Aerated Mav but just missed the race, i really liked the run Dzerzhinski put in behind it last start and will be backing him with confidence at his next start hopefully over a bit more ground.

Race 1 - Not a good start, ended up on Diagon Duchess, and shouldn't have been ...Countess Bathory too good for them.

Race 2 - Would never have backed Bohemian anyway, so no regrets here.....no damage done.

Race 3 - Always thought Buran might be good value, and with the impressive run 2 back when it beat Florilegium home...suffice it to say a nice result. Mooralana didn't do much. Although, being on track at the time and not having a TV handy, i wasn't happy when the protest siren went up...

Race 4 - Socialist didn't run on as expected, would have to see a replay but beaten on his merits i think. Good win by Sequestrate, never gave em a chance.

Race 5 - ACK!...Why couldn't Cocktail Shaker have been 3/4 of a length better?! Nice result on the E/W but a win would have been nice Not a lot else to say about the race though - don't look for any flash form out of it, thats for sure.

Race 6 - No Interest, Princess Margaret won well, and has been perfectly placed so far.

Race 7 - I could have sworn Consular got in here, but nice win by Terrace. Good run by Imperialism who was held up in the straight also. San Carlo didn't run on - probably isn't up to this class.

Race 8 - Barrier did a lot to hinder Colin's Party's chances, but i think Smart and Mighty was far too good anyway. CP is one to follow in the future tho. It does sometimes pay just to go with the quality in the race...not that i'll ever learn from that...

Hope everyone had a good day

Sven

great win by smart and mighty.

didnt fit my form criteria but as was only listed horse in the race i backed it.

best sprint in the straight i've seen for a while.

good ride by pannel on terrace.
i thought it had lost but there you go.
races been tough (for me lately) just had the best week for a few months.
shows how the swings and roundabouts go and the different performances of our selection criteria. some weeks it works and then goes cold for periods of time.
at one point since wednesday had 5 good wins out of 7 races but nearly lost yesterday until smart and mighty came in,. and then On the Whistle got up in perth. (perth hasnt been kind lately either) due mainly to short priced horses winning too often.

Has been tough Topsy....
dont usually look at Perth all that much but thought the odds $2.80 about Dakas Gem was real good value..won so well last start..was'nt confident enough to go all out but a nice collect just the same..
Perth reminds me alot of Adelaide...where when a horse hits form ..stick with it.Clearview, Aerated , Oakwood are ones in adealide recently that keep winning....
Smartn Mighty was fantastic ..especially with that weight..
You have to ride the waves when punting...although i've had a few slips of late i havent had the dreaded wipeout..i can usually keep on going even though it gets a bit rough....
sign of a good team if its keeps winning when not playing all that well

Hoping today Kaaptive Idea grabs the outside sprint lane and wins
Think Ruben is nice e/w odds today ..

how's it going all ...hey ed you said you want a royal commission into khan well i think there should be a revolution about shadowmaker ,the horse gets backed in for ********loads on course and jumps on course fav comes last by fifty lenghts and hardly a word is said about it.....if betfair was here im sure all the moneypot ****************s would have blamed it on them and while im getting ******** of my liver did anyone read **************** dannys story in the sportsman,,i think he's left half his brain in the sauna room or hes on a nice sling from the moneypot ****************s why his wing gets fixed...there that feels better..
cheers gaz....

Sydney

Race 1: Desseta 4th Jeteye 3rd

Race 3: Midnight City a good win paying $6.50. Genghis was very poor as i thought it might be

Race 4: Wasimah scratched, Loftily 2nd $1.20

Race 5: Jovial 3rd, Newton's Rings 2nd and Salgado 4th

Race 6: Chrimson Sakura wasn't great but So Assertive was awful as well....unsure of these two

Race 7: Irongail and okay 3rd paying $1.70

Race 8: See The Bell woeful


Melbourne

Race 2: Kepola didn't do quite as well as I thought...Maggie Bee was a system seelction of mine so it went okay for me in the end

Race 3: Delicate Snip should have won...quite disappointed really

Race 4: Ordinary race..i don't like any of these really

Race 6: "Super Elegant is an absolute special, but i will only back it if i get $2.90....can't see that happening though" Well i got that and backed big...a great win

Race 8: Power and Faith very ordinary indeed

i noticed irish noble running in launceston today. recently placed in sydney for clarrie connors and now trained by royston carr in hobart.

must have been beaten by 200 yards today.
maybe they should look for somewhere easier for these sydney horses.
