I'm having alittle on the bottom weight...you just never know ;)
could be another harry..

I was out doing the mowing. I did very well while I was outside not listening to the races. Have to do that more often! As you said, it goes in cycles. :)

i've got 2 from 8 bets today and a place.....2 left to go ,,hopefully alteast one of these gets up..
the roughie Moonbie Nymph and Stratagee gee ... fingers crossed

only seven horses in the next at Brissie,,no bet...will have a play $10 win and a tri with Moonbi Nymph .. but it was an e/w selection..
its all on Stratagee gee now..

geez racing is a tough game... the winner of the last in Sydney crosses the line in front and 20 minutes later is put down.... poor ************ things

Protest upheld at Werribee, so I miss out on the trifecta. Just when I thought i was going okay again. :(

Huh ? what happened ??

good move with Moonbi Nymph....couldnt get a run ,,,book that one for sure..

Thanks for the rider changes Merryguy. I'll look up Saratoga on the map, right after I find that Saratoga fish over there.Getting ready to check some early results from Canterbury r3 thru 6 and Werri r3 and on up to r6. have an inkling from reading the posts here but have been delaying. Here goes nothing.......

Hope you didn't follow my tips, SS. :o

what a crap day...
Wallan Rd , Blushin nemo and Bigfatgreekhorse (dont you just love the name) the only shinning lights..

Maui Boy,Stratagee gee, Penshurst, Racetrack, Rogues Gallery, Gina Shay all letting me down..

out of those..Rogues gallery, racetrack and in a weaker class Gina Shay will stay in the stable..aswell as moonbi Nymph ,,

Not a shocker but a loss just the same...

always tomorrow....hope you guys had a win...
might stick to NZ :)

Didn't get a chance to check out anyone's tips today as I left for the turf club before I saw any. But I did pull out some old ones to see if anything was in and that quitter AUTOMATON pulled his usual STOP! I still haven't checked but I played Boss on Golden Drake in the 3rd Cant. Listening to 2ky right now and there's a dog on the track! What the hell! The announcer just said a dog chased one of the horses in a hurdle race!!!!! LOL I also have #2 in 3rd Werri (Midnight Escapade) and #7 Opio Miss in the 7th at Werribee. Here I go again. DOGS ON THE TRACK! What are you guys doing over there?!?!?!

Gday mav

Ankaret crossed the line and promptly broke down.. they had to put it down.

Don't want to offend anyone... but am I allowed to skite about the last winner at Viccy Park? wooooohoooooooooooo

Oh, so you were the one??? When Sonic Lad won the race, I knew someone had tipped it on top, but I couldn't think who.

Anyway, as he so often does, Paul Harvey helped me salvage something out of the wreckage. 2 nice priced winners today from just 3 rides. I didn't list Jaunty Lad as one of my tips today, because I thought it would be too short. Ended up paying around $7!!!

Overall, my tips were shocking today! :o

Those weren't the only DOGS on the track tonight! Every one I backed late couldn't get there.

Have heaps of horses around tomorrow,,
will list them incase i dont get back on,..

Ipswich
*Mediaval Time, *Nasarlo, *Infectious
Melbourne
*Snip the doctor,
Balina
*Alifly, *Counter Agent, *Kaaptive Idea, *Lord Nedyim, *Postcard Bandit, *Umatrik, *Tea Biscuit, *Little Black Duck, *Sircolo, *Beamer.

lol...heaps of horses in Ballina,,alot of them in the same races..
will be on tomorrow with the final selections ..

good card in Ballina..

Thanks Mav. I need some help tonight. I noticed last week that on the pace horses were the way to go at Ipswich. Is that the norm? It seemed like a pronounced bias to me. How drastic do track biases change over there between meets and is it caused more by track layout than course conditions and surface?
I usually back horses that close on any turf as a rule, but I try to play the track as well as the race. I like inside speed at those tight turn tracks with short straight. I wish your racing would give fractional times on the screen so you know if your horse has a chance and know what he had to overcome. That is huge tool here. Our announcers may stink but those Aussie saddlecloth numbers are brutal. I can usually follow my main runner, but when somebody's coming from way behind, It's hard to tell who it is even with the silks.

Well, each track is different, SS. However, on average, I would say that the majority of tracks here favour horses who race up on the pace, in the first 4 or 5 runners.

STIX

Hi Guys..
Not my usual study today..but buoyed by recent succes i'm having a go..
just havent the time during the week ..especialy after spending alot of it reviewing the weekend races..
will cross my fingers and hope to god..but i do feel reasonably confident on a few..

Saratoga...Ipswich doesnt necasarily favour front runners ..but it does favour the Jockey's that know the track..Byrne is a master here..as is Seamer and when he was in form Pelling....
Keep an eye on Bryne and the local jocks ..
Good luck .

Ipswich
*Medieval Time .this horse will race prominent and is due for a win after some creditable runs of late..
*Nasarlo ...this is a weird one...usually races prominent..last start he missed the kick and was ridden back but flew home..hard to do up the hill at toowoomba..
maybe they've found the trick to this horse..theres heaps of speed here..Pisachi knows only one way..flat out..works the same as well ,,complete nut that you just cant hold....i'm gambling that Pittman will ride Nasarlo off the pace and will come home hard..he knows the track well ,,which helps..Aeritino with the blinkers will improve and is the danger..
*Wizard Princess..good race for her..best jockey around Ipswich on board..
you could just follow Bryne all day today and do pretty well..
Ballarat
*Princess Poppi, *Prague
Ballina
*Can Man, *tea Biscuit, *Umatrik/ *Lord Nediym , *Beamer /*Kaaptive Idea.

Ballina looks a good card...thought Umatirik the best of the day..but he does get back and needs alittle luck..,,Lord Nedym was over to short last start and is in good form and aswell likes the track,,could be value ..
Beamer looks fantastic ,,saw him the other day and he just looked a ball of muscle..he''ll race prominent here and give a good sight..
i like Alifly but think he'll be to short..Kaaptive idea and Alifly will be suited by the speed i'm guessing....
alot of people are Expecting Planagram to roll along up front ..but if he does what he did last start when he slowed them up ..it'll suit Beamer..
Alifly and Unbound last start were both hindered by Planagrams go slow..
today however he has High octave up front aswell that might see a better tempo..

as you can see i'm alittle worried about the tempo in the cup...but either way beamer will be there somewhere,,,

Good luck all :)

Thanks Mav, I'm in a hurry to get out of here, I have 2 of 3 in the late win 3 at DelMar and it's the final race of the meet! (1=$24-10=$7- I can't remember the 2 (or 3 I hope) #'s in the 10th. It's hard to write it all down when you bet on the phone acct. Route me in! and let's get em tonight. Ipswich speeeeed(I dunno, it was last week. I'll back Byrne all day. THanks for all the info Mav.

MAAAN, I didn't get it. My horses came in 2nd and 3rd, and to make matters worse (really better) I hit the double into the 9th(not the 10th, I was wrong) with the #4 who paid $35. I didn't scope him out until the last minute, but at least I'm in action for Ips. PS the treble paid (1-10-4) $1100. UGH For a couple dollars more>>>>

Hey guys, had a bad day yesterday after some good previous days...Belmonts heavy trk undid me lol...Today is turnaround day...Some thoughts on Northam...

R1 Grand Otto will be favourite (PJ on board) but I like Greek Goddess's 2nd last time out at Belmont (same distance and a dead track) to Foxy Date (who has gone to win since) and 3rd King Risca has also won since so it was a good form race...it was a solid finish and worth taking note of for a race like this... Briannas Girl and Lady Shiraz will be forward after solid trial form.

R2 Not sure about this one...Glen Erin Rose showed some potential against better fields than this...Lady Abjar's 2nd to a fit Alpha Nova was in similar conditions and better time than Lightspeed Lad (also in similar race conditions)...Stormy Pleasure likely fav and Bagsnatcher and PJ to watch...

R3 Anything could win this with The Gray Bear (again PJ riding) likely to be a short fav but has fair Bunbury form...first up since April...Hill Fifty and Jen Magic the improvers...Mojoman and Western Victory have won recent trials not sure what Les Smiths Regal Bay will do but best to watch markets on this one...

R4 Coojedup for me good 2nd to Stanz The Man which will stand up in this company and Jackson Creek, Pay Day Girl and Sarjeant the dangers...

R5 Spun Glass to beat At Peace and Bet Ahead

R6 Beaucreton's form should be too good over this distance...I like Classic Pinks finish for 3rd chasing Armiger and Yorkshire Rose over 1650m J Valas's claim will help.

R7 Honest Records run for 4th behind Spirited Gem over 1200m at Belmont was an eyecatcher in first start this prep...think it will beat Dual Power, Lord of the Spring and Treasury Lad

R8 Havent the foggiest maybe Belabjar...

R9 Sand George (scratched from Wednesdays Belmont meet) has good form for this but Alees Taxi will be all the rage Micas Star, On Our Metal and Black Money in the exotics...

Good luck hope you have a great day and lets hope its turnaround day for me lol!::)

Beamer is a bit of value at the moment... 13 and 2 are the others at reasonable odds... tough race... good luck if you have a nibble

Good ol Beamer... wooohooo ..that old neddy owes me absolutely nuthin over the years... Counter Agent ran well at the price....

U Anzac !
 

XPT

Thanks to you got the Exacta at $36.90.... thanks, if only Counter Agent got clear earlier.... oh well, thanks again X

Stix

This is better!!! 1/4 of the first4 of $2033.

Thanks for the tip mav..... Had a 20 on it for a bit of fun..... First time I backed a tip off this forum too.

I find this probably the most valuable thread in the forum. Lots of peoples tips, and explanations on why they have been tipped.

Keep up the good work guys...
And I notice you have a few bolded tips get up for today also Sportz...

Happy punting....

Gday stix...

Counter Agent (IMHO) was pretty good overs... I had it rated at about 8$... I won on the race backed Beamer (rated 5$ and fav) and counter agent so was afair result... it was aCountry Cup. and I suck at pickin them so I am happy with that one ( managed the FF with 5 I posted)

Just wish I had the courage of people like Mav, XPT, Mr Ed etc. I originally thought Blue Collar Jack was a good thing last night, but come today and I just thought too damn much about it and for some reason I changed my top selection to Millibrae. :rolleyes:

Anyway, it's been a good end to the day and I've now worked out once and for all which races I should concentrate on in future.

hmmm
 

Last one...
