Sorry Guys, but gotta work tonight - so I really only have focused on Melbourne. Reckon the Rupert Clarke is a tough one to pick - Underwood, not so. Like No. 10 Volkstok'n'barrel in that Race. Falkner is the obvious one but - 'Volky' has good 3rd up Form (2 from 2) but why I like it is; AJC Derby ...
OK, the 2015 Caulfield Cup – as most know, I’ve already backed Who Shot Thebarman. Before the barrier draw, I liked the 4 Place Dividends & the $26 was Juicy. That said, after the Barrier Draw, I am less confident of him winning. That’s the gamble when you take the ‘early price’. This is a high ...
OK Lads, gotta work again tomorrow night - so here's this week's installment (geez I could do with a winner!)
The brilliant, high quality racing continues this weekend @ Mooney Valley. A bit unlucky last week with 4 x Place Getters but no winners – ordinary performance by Who Shot Thebarman ...
Derby Day, the BEST Race Day of the year IMHO – used to have 5 Group 1s but now only 4. On paper it looks a reasonably easy day but as we all know, paper can lie! So lets get to it…
The Derby – I told you weeks ago that Tarzino was the one in this race (I’ve had him in my Star Stable the whole ...
I'm back - did you expect anything less considering the 1st Group 1 of the New Year? Am currently in Moloolaba QLD for the National Open Water Swimming Championships - the 16 yr old is swimming in the Men's Open 10km Event, the winner goes to Rio 2016 ( he won't win ), but I'm not on ...
Hey Lads, Autumn Carnival heats up tomorrow - 3 x G1's in Melbourne, & the Chipping Norton in Sydney Winx just wins the C.N. Stakes doesn't she?
Reckon JK won't be surprised when I say I'm backing Stratum Star in the Futurity. 22 starts for 15 Placings; 6 of those @ the distance, 5 @ the Track ...
THAT, my friends, was a GOOD Day on the punt! Hope you managed to back any (or all) of those 3!!! $4.20 PLACE Stratum Star. $6.50 PLACE ZimZam. $31.50 (Best TOTE) & $7 Flamburge. Winx was the worst price, $1.40 - but didn't she win well?
What a great day’s racing in stall tomorrow! Last week my Star Stable had 4 runners – 1 winner Top Melbourne, 2 x 2nd & a 4th. Sadly, I only backed one of them – Tarzino
So to the final decent Day’s racing in Melbourne before we switch to Sydney for the next month. Going to United tonight, so form ...
Hey Boys, sorry for the lateness but has been a VERY busy day! Haven't had a huge look @ the Form - based on last week's results, that might be a good thing!
Huge Day @ Randwick tomorrow. ATC Derby - Tarzino is unbackable really. Based on his lead up runs, he just Wins doesn't he? Etymology ran ...
Got out with Grande Punto @ Rosehill today Nothing like leaving it late $10 & $3 fixed Do you think I was kicking it home, listening on my phone @ Marion Swim Centre?!?! Got some funny looks in the Stand
So here we are again, Spring time. Can Winx do a Sunline & win a 2nd Cox Plate? Will an Australian Horse win the Melbourne Cup like the 100/1 outsider last year? Can Simon O’Donnell finally buy his way to a winning ‘OTI Racing’ Cup winner? Will Waller or O’Shea be able to combat Weir’s ...
Last week I’ll admit wasn’t the best start to the new ‘Punting Season’ – although I was very happy with the run of Set Square to finish 3rd in the Dato – terrific Caulfield Cup trial IMHO. Zamzam is still coming – missed the kick & ‘wobbled’ around the turn & ran 2nd last … Grrrr ...
17/09/2016 Better Day last week – couple of nice PLACE Bets came in. Unfortunately, I forgot to ‘Trixie’ & ‘Yankee’ them up, so could’ve been better. Tomorrow’s races are a lottery IMHO. The Caulfield meeting is VERY tricky. The winner of the ‘Mannerism’ gets an automatic entry into the Caulfield ...
WooHoo... just booked & paid for my Reserved Seat @ the Caulfield Cup Meeting $150 is a little steep, but GA = $55 ($65 on the day) - I get a Race book & a Beer + at least I can see the entire Race!
Sydney’s biggest day of their Spring Carnival – Epsom Day. Looks like the weather forecast is OK for the program, so I think we can bet with a bit of confidence that the track conditions will be OK – working on a Good 4 or a Slow 5? This should mean most runners will get a fair ...
