Learn from this foolishness.

I never bet below 3/1, let alone look for 'value' in odds-on chances.

Winner's a champ, second horse is a champ. I am a chump.

I must admit in the hour or so leading up to the race I got very worried.... Leaders weren't dominating.... Horses were winning down the middle?! Was this the Caulfield I knew??


I hate Caulfield. I have now officially sacked it. I haven't backed a winner in I don't know how long, and I am no longer betting there. I hate it. I should have sacked it when Makybe failed to win the Caulfield Cup last year at 25/1 for me. I hate the place. I am a ratings man, and Caulfield makes ratings stupid because you so, so often need to be in the right part of the track.

Not potting Elvs, he IS a champion, and I did already know that, I just thought he couldn't sit wide and win. He did, however today was a day when you could.

I did my A R S E everywhere today, except for one place - Sydney. I had one bet there, and it saluted, and it covered ALL my losing bets all over the rest of the country, and in fact I had a small win on the day thanks to it saluting.

I rated (on 80% odds) Dance hero a $2.0 chance, and Outback Prince $6.0 second pick. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Outback Prince, because today would have been a DISASTER, of magnificent proportions. I bet in 5 races at Caul, 4 in Perth, 1 at Bendigo, 1 at Sydney, backed only one winner and got out.

Today was a HOUDINI for me, but I am not ungrateful. I have learned some very very valuable things for today, I am just extremely glad that it didn't cost me $$$$$ to learn them.

Cheers all, from one very happy punter this morning.

I'm happy to eat my words.

Its the only thing i'll be eating for three weeks, i've had a c#*t of a month.

I also got worried b4 the race but it didn't stop me unloading, i'm happy Regal didn't win cause i would've all upped and been twice as ********ty.

Great win by Elvis, but i loved Regals Run, he had them strung right out kicked probably on the worst part of the track and then hang out like a bitch in the last 200m it was a big run. No Elvis or Savabeel in the Futurity, when is it, i cant wait.

Until then I think i'm a little overraced and its time for me to go out for a spell.

or maybe just a freshen up.

What an absolute stripout for me at Caufield, correct me if im wrong but was
that the leaders track we know there. Although they do seem to come from behind in the worse going there, but it was rated dead and they really didnt seem to be chopping it up too badly. Caufield is on the backburner for me
for a while!

Great run Elvis, but to my poor evaluations i never gave him a chance, ie:
didnt think he could sprint like that jumping from the carpark, and what arun Savabeel.

Squared up in Sydney with THE GRAND HORSE and Red hot with two very
mature pieces of jockey handling.

anyone blackbooked something for next time from yesterday, i know ive sacked freedmans 2 year old Queen of the hill and Caufield for that matter.

REMEMBER- Think first before saying NOTHING.

Guys, sometimes I reckon punters try to think about things WAY too much.

What were the two best horses running anywhere in Australia yesterday??? Grand Armee and Elvstroem. Someone who didn't think too much about things would have just accepted that both of these horses were in races they could win on tracks that they liked and taken what were pretty reasonable odds.

Perhaps before we go into the form too much we should just take a more simplistic view of things and look for the obvious.

For what it's worth, I backed both Regal Roller and Elvstroem in the Orr and made a small profit on the race. I didn't touch the Grand Armee race because of the small field.

Duritz, well done on Outback Prince. Don't know how it paid so much, even with Dance Hero's short price.

My best priced winner was Fashions Afield in the 4th and I was amazed at that price too.

LOL Mr Ed that was very funny....

I am sacking Caulfield too, don't worry about it, I have done a heap there too. Not just yesterday, but seemingly every time they race there. You and me both, not betting there. There's plenty of other races to do, plenty of value elsewhere at tracks which race more evenly. Hell, Newcastle is a top track, if they're racing at Newcastle next time they're racing at Caulfield, I'm going to do the Newcastle form. Been to the races there once, was impressed, and found a couple of winners.

The problem is, the races they schedule there are so damn good. Caulfield races would be so damn good if they weren't raced at Caulfield..!

was a great day for me thanks to Glamour Puss and the tri.......
i hope i talked you out of super imprint Mr Ed ,,it was a hard race...
Sedecreme finally saluted after carrying my hard earned the last few starts...a nice tri there as well..
Miss Glory Hunter was overs aswell..
I lost heavily on Savabeel but won it back on Grand Armee....Dance hero was just to short to back,,,,
A great win by the king ...thought Savabeel was huge as well,,,,

Yeh didn't have a cent on Super Imprint, cheers mate, but he did show very good value on the tote compared to the track.

Well atleast someone got some joy out of Sedecrem winning I was on the ex aussie Lamond thought he had it won just got knocked off on the line.
