to short for me....but will win now..that i'm not on.. lol

Didn't bet in the race. Probably should have as Derby Parade used to be one of my old favourites. Notice you could have got the first 4 simply by boxing the 4 outside barriers!!!

Shivirgo ran pretty well i thought...will book him for next start...yeah your right Sportz Derby parade in this grade was way overs...
are you still playing around with those outside barriers ? are they working for you ??

Grand Merlot...looked good on turning and just battled..jumping from a maiden to class 3 was always going to be tough....if he starts over distance in a lower grade i'll follow him,,..he was only a few lenghts off.
Maewest...never really go into it....got bumped a few times and just turned off...
my Wa figures are starting to get a hammering....still above water but not by to much anymore..

a winning day ..today...after a couple of losing ones....

have a few bookers running tomorrow
Townsville.
*Monte Bianco...this horse has had 3 runs back,,all have been solid...he should get his way here and lead...he won a couple of nice races down here doing exactly that....doesnt have to beat much here,,
*Gold Tusmani...this horse has been good to me..been alittle disspointing of late..but the races havent been run to suit...he gets his speed here in this race ..he'll hopefully be dropped out the back and aimed for one crack at them...in this class against this lot has a big show..
*Striderite....just loves this track...running nice times might be to short though....
*Dynamic Wave...ran a cracking time last run..has the inside draw where all the likely leaders are drawn wide...only has to run near his last time to win this.....think Unite n Prosper will be in this aswell,,,1000m is his go but the barrier is a worry...brissie form loooks real good for a race like this..

*Polygram....last few runs have been good without being spectacular...the shorter distance suits and against this lot should win .....wont take anything short as i think hes past his best,,,but if they gamble with him he might be value..
*Double Entendre.....racing in way tougher races than this...should win but doubt the price will be all that flash...

The winter Cup looks good....king of Illawaraa won for me last start by a mile ...but he didnt beat much ,,and might be unders here,,,if Lorenzo gets to decent odds i might have an e/w,,this horse has been very consistant and from the barrier should get a nice trail..will be hard to hold out...intersting race this one...might back them both if the odds are right..

good luck guys,,,i'm due for a couple of wins.. :)

Hoping to get the right odds today..
Confident on Gold tusmani..but wanting to get 4's or close to it..
Polygram..looks like i might get the same...
Lorenzo ...looks like i'll get 7's or higher here..very happy with that..i'm guessing they'll come hard for King Of Illawara..
Double Entre ..4's look good here...

these are the ones i'm concentrating on today..
Striderite ,dynamic wave and Monte bianco are all tough races ...will have a smaller e/w on them just the same but think the excotics will be very good value if you can jag them..

Happy punting... :)

like this one
 

hey ed,mav and co,,,,i like beaudance in the 9th hes one six from eight here and looks to be set for this,,,,any thoughts,,,,thanx gaz

Lorenzo was one of my 2 unitab 100 rater system picks today. Unfortunately, the other one, Bold Ausbred didn't do much.

no dust
 

should have known better than to tip against the man with the dust.cheers.gaz.

Lorenzo was a good bet Sportz..
Great result with the exotics aswell...1/2 the 1st4 and the tri a few times..
pretty easy to get in the end...should of really had a go at it ..

Gold tsmani ...seemed to get everything he needed..speed on..a good crack at them in the straight..but just died.....dissapointing..
Polygram.... same story ...just not the horse he once was...

My little e/w's on Montebianco , Striderite and Dynamic wave ..didnt do a whole lot...nice divie on Striderite though...i knew they were tuff races up there in Townsville,,,and just look at all the bolters that got up...
still they all didnt dissapoint and stay in the book for now..

In the end a nice winning day to finish a a real good week,,,probably my best weekday figures i've had in a real long time...

alot of that due to the Divine etoile and Lemon and Sars bets ...thanks guys :)

looking forward to tomorrow...be on later with a Brissie roundup,,

Just as a little aside to the Fantasy Racing competition which I'm running, I actually had quite a bit of success on Wednesday and last Saturday simply by following some of the horses that I've included on the lists. After all, these horses all do have a bit of class and therefore they should really be better than most of the other horses racing in this late winter period.

Anyway, I'm certainly not guaranteeing anything here and these aren't necessarily my tips, but these are the Fantasy Racing horses running around this week, in my order of preference:

E.FM R4 - 1 Cool Scene, 2 Street Smart
E.FM R7 - 1 Consular, 10 Lamond, 8 Youthful, 2 Bazelle
W.FM R1 - 1 Jeteye, 2 Desetta
W.FM R3 - 3 Genghis Khan
W.FM R4 - 1 Loftily, 2 Wasimah
W.FM R5 - 2 Jovial
W.FM R6 - 8 Yerevan, 6 Megabucks, 2 Zagalia
W.FM R7 - 4 Wild Queen, 1 Irongail
CAUL R1 - 3 Red Hot Mama
CAUL R3 - 1 Delicate Snip
CAUL R4 - 4 Tubular Bells, 8 Bangand
CAUL R5 - 6 Emerald Jack
CAUL R6 - The whole field of this race is actually in the competition. I think 1 Super Elegant, 6 Wildly, 9 Leone Chiara are possibly the best chances, but not one of the runners would surprise if they won though.
CAUL 8-1 Stratton Place

Found another one: CAUL R7 - 7 Furaat

Some good horses in there sportz, well done with all that work you have put in, cant wait for the start of it.
Had no computer access for a few days but see a few winners still floating around here. Great work Ed with Lemon and Stars, spewin I didnt see it until now though!! oh well.. One of the best descriptions of a race Ive ever seen, well done there mate.
I have a big tip for today..... follow Mav around Eagle Farm!! Been on fire there of late hope it continues.
One running in Adelaide today that I really like Is Yarterbury, race 2. This horse has an amazing turn of foot and when asked to go you would want to be holding on. Its last run was over 1466 and if that race was 150m longer he would of won by 10 lengths. Ill be having a red hot go on him today, ill be surprised if hes not in the call flying home in the last 200.
Decided during the week Im going to try and just concentrate on adelaide racing, spending too much time trying to find winners in every state, this way I can put more time in to one area, we will see how it goes..

Anyway, hope everyone finds a winner, theres a couple of others I like today, just watching a few replays before I decide.. will post them here later.
LUV2BET

Nice win there with Lorenzo Mav, don't worry Gazman we've all been stung trying to bet against Mav.

Have to be on Miss Starnee @ Morphettville today, if not only because she's won me so much. As i said previously, Alpha Centauri was a Ginormous run in a pretty handy field, Miss Stanee gave that horse plenty of weight and still beat it fair and square. Drops back 200m to 1600 here but i think a mile looks perfect for her, should be good speed on and watch for her to be storming home. Has about 7 placings in a row now so if eachies are available, very likely, she looks a safe bet.

I hate Sydney but i really liked the way Genghis Khan won last start, will be having a fun go at him, but wait for tuesday, very excited about one in one of my distance maidens.

Thanks for the kudos lads, i was stoked Lemon and Sars could do the right thing for the thread after a couple of losers. Keep up the good work gentleman, the hours we put in certainly help the cause.

Im very excited about hearing which horse your talking about on tuesday Ed!!! Ill be on genghis khan as well Ed, was on him last start and did everything right.

Hmmm, not a good start for those horses I listed. Hope nobody backed them. :o

Talk about the kiss of death. These horses from the Fantasy Racing comp have gone shocking today. Even worse, Shines was one of the last horses I deleted from the lists.

Was sceptical about Genghis after he drifted so much (how do they know?), did save on Midnight City and actually made a small profit on the race. As i did with Miss Starnee who tried her guts out again to just grab third after going very wide around the turn, $2.90 was a very good divvy for the drum. I did back Harryallards Lane at Echuca, he had every possible chance but was just beaten, he's sacked. All in all a winning day with no winners, can't complain, hope you all cleaned up.

Put the mocker on me today Luv2bet..only got the one winner today in brissie....granted a nice winner ..but still only the one :)

Has anyone looked at the Mildura Cup....
i have two runners in it Ruben and Zip Zip aray....i give both a nice chance in this,,Ruben always puts himself in the race.jumps well and can cross from way out there..he stuck on well last time and will be fitter for the 2 runs back..
Zip Zip was doing his best work late last time and the extra distance suits...will be an open race i think..so both will be value..nice trifecta race..
Hawksbury
Confident about Rogems Gem ..smart run last start ..just looks real good here ....
Coffs Harbour,,
Kaaptive IDea...this race has alot of speed on ...this will suit this horse..he shouldnt be as far back as usual from the good barrier..will be nice e/w odds
has won for me before in a similar race at huge odds,,
Shady Henrietta ...has a bit of class on this lot..loves the short sprint ..
Sunny Coast
Beamer...Griffin is racing in good form...knows the tricks to this horse ..these older horses usually back up well...a few smart ones in this race so will be good odds..

Only a few running around tomorrow but feel a bit more confident about some of these than i have been lately,,.. Good Luck all, :)

Sorry about that Mav, but still a winning day. Its always the way though, I shouldve shut up for ya!!!
Dont mind Capadan in the cup, not over confident but this horse should be fitter now and may run a race, if good odds ill have a little interest bet.
Mildura race 4 AL THARB looks to be well suited in this race at e/w odds.
Mildura 9 CONFINES hasnt been that far away of late could thrive on the extra journey... be wary though, Melbourne hasnt been good to many of us of late..
Good Luck everyone...

Looks a very tough race. May have a small each way bet on Grundy's Crossing. At his best, I reckon he's better than these, he has pretty good form at the distance, and he's won 2/2 first-up. Also think the two boys, Methodical Boy and Polyester Boy have some chance. As I said, a tough race though.

Yes it is Sportz...i think Diamonds at Dawn whos won very well last start has a show..usually in these types of races i like to follow that form horse ..even though hes way up in grade..
looks like i'll back Ruben e/w and Diamonds and go far an wide for the tri and 1st 4..

Did you see Shady Henrietta get beat....would of been a fantastic tri aswell...so close.. ..

Well, you obviously didn't get the first4 as it's a jackpot.

I backed Grundy's Crossing & Polyester Boy and also had a small each way bet on Ruben. Then I took an any2 with 1, 2, 3, 5 & 14.

Good tip with Polyester boy Sportz....hope u backed him...
Got a nice place collect with Ruben..very happy with that...missed the tri though...if Ruben would of got up i would of had it for a whole ...how nice that would of been ..

Rogan's Gem a good win!!!

very impressive wasnt it... great last 100m
with losses on Shady henrietta and Beamer today i really needed it :)

Go Kaaptive Idea .. :)
also think Concitare and Rodeo Chut out will run nice races...
but i'm on Kaaptive all the way..

bit worried :(

I had a bit each way on Kaaptive Idea too. It's one of my Unitab Rating system selections today.

Get 1/2 the tri to if theres no protest...looked bad side on ..wish i could see the head on view

didnt get close in the 1st4 ...another jackpot...tough these type of races..

Hey Mav, did you get my email about your Fantasy Racing team? You made a mistake with the stable you sent me a couple of days ago.

yep got the email Sportz..still working on it... should be finished tonight i think..
biting my nails off here ..lol

Bad luck, but it must have been bad interference by the sound of it.

Sh#t ..did look bad....just cant get a break lately..
a loss for the day ..only a couple of hundred thanks to Rogems gem and Ruben ..
That protest cost me $5000 :(
need a drink..

luv2bet,

Good win with Confines.

I'm kicking myself. I could have easily had the trifecta and first 4. I backed Confines and had savers on 1 & 12 and had an any2 of 1, 2, 4, 5 & 12.

Very nice divvies there for first four and tri sportz. Was happy with the odds confines paid. Didnt see any races today two bets two collects, not a bad result.
Tommorow Im half keen on a few, need a bit more of a look and post back later.
Just out of interest what are peoples thoughts on I WANT YOU BACKs run yesterday at caulfield. A mate of mine was real keen on it and I was very impressed with the turn of foot, keep an eye on him..

Great win by Rogans Gem, cheers Mav. Top work with Confines to L2B. I Want You Back was impressive L2B but was probably flattered by the general pattern of the day and the fast pace set. She is a good mare but has terrible feet and they can be dangerous.

Famous last words I know, but you could do a lot worse than just keep backing up on Greg Ryan all day at Gilgandra today. A GREAT book of rides. You watch, he won't ride a single winner now.

Some races I'll be looking at for today:

PORT MACQUARIE
R1 - 12 SONGHAY, 1 Ace Arena, 3 Gudunov (12,1,3,5,11,2)
R2 - 4 SOUTHERN DRAKE, 10 Ohforagooden, 9 Kanter Brau (4,10,9,1,7,8)
R4 - 4 MILLBRIDGE*, 2 Montoro (4,2,1,3,5,7)
R5 - 4 HIPPY'S SISTER, 6 Fine Cheval, 1 Strawberry Spy (4,6,1,2,3,10)
R6 - 3 PATRIC*, 2 Small Promise (3,2,5,6,9,7)

GILGANDRA
R1 - 8 FLASH AS A RAT, 6 Pasiphae, 12 Princess Ghataas (8,6,12,3,9,13)
R2 - 11 OCTASTIC*, 9 Mantris (11,9,12,10,7,6)
R4 - 12 AUCHMEDDAN*, 7 Nellie's Glen (12,7,3,8,15,1)
R5 - 1 MISS COPENHAGEN*, 2 Golden Solo (1,2,3,5,4,6)
R7 - 4 FINIAL, 1 Sir Derado, 8 Dubious View (4,1,8,5,3,11)
R8 - 5 LACKADOSH, 1 Zedivain, 3 Passion Palace (5,1,3,9,10,8)
R9 - 1 I'LL DECLARE*, 2 Racer's Charm (1,2,4,14,5,11)

TATURA
R4 - 1 NUCLEAR ROO, 4 Clatter And Clang, 7 My Georgia Girl (1,4,7,6,5,12)

R7 - 3 ALL CHARISMA, 2 Whisky Straight, 5 Palingar (3,2,5,4,1,7)

Hope nobody backed this. When I saw the ridiculously short odds, I decided not to touch it.

Just as I suspected, Greg Ryan's only managed 1 win so far from 5 supposedly great rides. :rolleyes:

Now I remember why I gave up posting tips every day. Sorry. :o
