any thoughts for last at wyong?

You were right Sportz about Cindy Kate ..to short imo ..
had a go at Mac's tune sounded unlucky ....Empyreal probably ran a good race but probably as good as can be expected..
Tara's Song just didnt come on..dissapointing...
Shining light was Indicates just went alittle greedy with the tri and 1st4 and only got the tri once,,,,,,lately i've been getting them 5 to 10 times and been getting alittle cocky..

anyway not to much damage 1 for 4 ..25% loss ..but i can live with that..

Saturday looks huge ...my fav horses Merlot Now and Bomber Bill are against each other,,wont know what to do.

Hope you guys jagged a winner or two ..

Sorry mate. I would have said 1 to beat 3, but not much good now, is it.

Thnx sports went Duet on 1,3,9,11.... so not a bad result

Hi Guys,,a few thoughts for tomorrow.
Ipswich
*Diexueme.. even with the weight has these covered,,just to good..
*Suubird..fought on well last start at a distance i think is too long..better suited here at the 1200m ..doesnt have to beat much..
Grafton
*Fanqualo,, always hard these scampers but this one has been in good form ..can run time..
*Shagny lover ,.good run up the inside last start..has been working well to the line previously..might sneak under the radar if they come for Concitare and the old Boy rodeo Chutout..

might be temtped with Admiral Jack in Ballarat..if the odds are right,,

probably just the four for me tomorrow..Good Luck

I was just looking at the results from yesterday, just had the one bet, running double race 7 into 8 at wyong which i didn;t get due to st tevoc and carael boy. I was just thinking though, i put the bet on in the morning based on prepost markets etc not the final prices, had i seen st tevoc at $22, you would have to throw him in wouldn;t you? His form read pretty well, nothing higher than 4th for his 4 runs back from a spell and would have been reaching peak fitness 5th run back. I took him on based on the fact that i thought he would be pretty much in the market and 'at the odds' was prepared to take the gambel that others had his measure.

Another thing. In the second leg carael boy won. That is like the 5th time i have been burnt by that horse. He is a pretty good galloper. I mean he sneaks up on you and a lot don;t rate him in most of the races he competes. I.e. he is a wet tracker, too old etc. But in these sort of sydney races he always seems to do pretty well. He is a very versatile galloper i now believe. He won yesterday at his first go at 2100, and about 3 weeks ago he won a 1600 race (if i remeber correctly). Yesterday he met some ok opposition most of which had seen the likes of 2100 metre journeys and beyond. Another thing i have noticed about this horse, which i would have thought to be uncharacteristic for an older horse is that he seems to maintain form quite well. He has been up for a while now and whilst he doesn;t win every won, he remains consistent and when the right race pops up he comes out and gives it a shake. I think he just one of those "throw him in" sort of horses - the ones where after the race you are like yeh, yeh i can understand why he won, but before you are like oh yeah he probably won;t be up to it.

Anyway, if anyone actually read through the lot of that i hope you got at least something from it

I must admit I've been a bit like that. I did gave him a good chance of winning yesterday. However, I remember earlier in his career that he had such a great record on wet tracks, I have sort of tended to regard him as a wet tracker only. But his recent form on dry tracks has been great.

Just perusing tommorows randwick form. Whats going on? These fields are ******** weak in terms of numbers. The roman consul - 5 runners!! As for the first race, give me a break.

Sportz, it's wierd like that. Some horses seem to tend towards the wet tracks as then get older whilst some who were previously good on wet tracks seem to prefer dry tracks as they get older. It can be a bit misleading at times i.e. a horse has had 12 starts on the wet and won six placed in 2. You go oh yeh he is a swimmer for sure, however it might have been the 4 unplaced runs on the wet that were the most recent.

Gday All
You have to remember ... he is a group winner in his early days ( without researching i think it was the straddie, might be wrong tho) and early on he was NEVER out of the money regardless of company... Brad Pengelly made his name ridiing this bloke... he is now stable jockey for McLachlan on the Coast and Brissy.. he has had injury problems in the past (the horse that is) his win yesterday is typical of the ol fella... He is a tough bloke, who regardless of the price and ratings (rated 2nd) seemed to be the best option in that race.. another of my favs, Joe Pride's Irongail, was iffy at the distance but had been going better in better company of recent time IMO , than the ol fella, and as I said in an earlier post owes me no money... so i backed both of em, but was pretty sure that Carael Boy would beat Irongail home, not neccessarily win the race, so I backed Irongail as a cover (18$) and Carael Boy as my main bet (38$) so 56$ outlayed for a profit of 175$ so it was a good result... Keep an eye out for the horses from up this way,,, they do pop up at the most unexpected times..as is evidenced by St Tevoc
