Hi Crash...i would of been the 1st to offer congrads if you did well ,,but i only saw this post on the thread....but well done on a good day..
I like you thought Cold Start wouldnt get it his own way this time ...the other horse probably ruined it for both of them but it played into the hands of our pick Classic Carla who was way further back than i thought,,,was a fantastic ride by Bryne who was on fire..
Wasn't Proudly Agro a fantastic win in almost track record time ..was ridden shockingly down south and alittle pssd i didnt give him the credit i usually do
...

The more the merrier on these threads Crash ..i look forward to it every week,,its good to read other peoples views on the race..sometimes you've might of overlooked something that can be very helpful..
Was Svens turn last week,,,my turn this week,,,maybe it'll be yours next week ,,look forward to seeing how we go
remember we are fighting a battle against overwhelming odds so we need to stick together..

ps.. I usually list the chances in a race but i always single out the horse i'm on ..

Thanks for the acknowledgment Maverick,

At most I might have 3 or 4 bets on a Sat. and only 2 of them were in Brisb. [I wouldn't bother with a whole card anywhere], so anything I say might be relevant because I've done the form to death and had over 35yrs. exp. doing it [and stuff up too, like anyone else].

Classic Kara's best ever rating was over THAT distance on THAT track in THOSE condt.[and here he was for a repeat, head and shoulders above the comp.] He got back [that's what he does] and ran over the top of them [that's what he does] with arguably the best jockey in QLD. on board. I had my house [a little bit of it anyway] on him for the win and quiet a few units for a 1x6x6 tri. which turned out I'd picked in 3.

Hissy Fit was Hawke's Smokey which no one noticed. I backed both his runners just in case. His top weight did nothing. End of my Brisbane campaign. The rest of the card was rubbish as far as I was concerned. Brindabella was my Aderlaide campaign at $13+ thank you. I don't need 20 bets a day, just a few at the right odds. Look for them and they are there [every day].

R5 Taree and R6 Geelong. That's it today [Sun.].

I really do apologize though for my outlandish 'up yours and if you think you can handicap, try taking this boy on' comments here when I was ignored as a contributor to this thread. Absolutely criminal behavior that I am ashamed of. Normally I don't drink but last night I sank a few in celebration as I got the Bindabella win and the 1x tri there as well. Big mistake hitting the computer when swizzled.

Cheers to all, Crash.

Brindabella was a nice get crash, congrats...

Just curious, what do you base your ratings on? Class, times? something else?

As mav said on his last post though, the more the merrier....its good to get different points of view for a bit of conflict

Sven

Ps. Theres no 'arguably' in J.Byrne being the best jockey in Brisbane. He's a genius

What the....? What's he doing in Hong Kong today???

Wins the last race in Sydney on Saturday and then wins the first in Hong Kong on Sunday!!! First I even knew about him riding there was the caller mentioning it just as the race was about to start and it was too late to back him. Paid $14!!!

LOL Sportz, I was the same when i spotted his name. ******?

Svenvlad,
I was hoping you would post, at least to tell me I'm a ****** or something. You were most gracious and more than generious....thanks.

My rating system takes a bit of work. About 5 races is my max on a Saturday and usually settle on three or four. Generaly I'm looking for the 4yr. old and up races with lots of exposed form. I quickly go through the various cards and cross out most races. I used to do all my own ratings but nowadays subscribe to:
'Superform' [$60 a month but worth every dollar and no, I don't even know them let alone work for them] from ************P.E.R.T F.O.R.M. I have to write it like that because if you try typing ********** you get the stars.
From their base run ratings I do my own based on lots of things. I do a complete horse history on all the runners in my few selected races and I'm looking for the form peaks and if this race is going to be one of them. Classic Karla's best ever rating was that distance, that track.

Bindabella was back on her home track and pet distance with C. Lindrop on board. I am a great fan of her ability. Pity she doesn't get the top horse flesh under her during the spring carnival. She'd make the boys look foolish. When the odds blew out from $10 to $13 before the jump, I doubled my bet.

Today I scored at Geelong on R6/7 Star Lord, won and paid $6. My Taree bet came second and was beaten by a $25 smokey that no amount of rating work would have picked.

You wrote:

Cheers.

To Maverick1993 (and Svenlad).

Thanks for your Brissie comments, especially Mav. I had a straight tri on Saturday at our local bookmaker in Port Moresby, PNG on Race 3 which paid $69.20 on the NSW totes. Keep it up and thanks so much. I suggest you stick to the Brisbane tracks and forget about Melbourne or Syndey as you are way offside with those states selections.

Thanks again as I collected a cool $415 from an outlay of $6 for that Brisbane selection. And I skipped the second whose exacta paid a whooping $65 on NSW totes.

You too good you are, Mav.
