Oh, so much for the tiny little quinella and exacta then. :D
Looks like they're going to try to save Mummify. Here's hoping. |

They have put him in the float to take him home.... |
Railings is certainly pretty damn good. Won brilliantly against the bias in the Metrop and now he's done exactly the same today. He's got Melbourne Cup written all over him!!!

Gday Sportz... discount Eye Popper at your peril... It has to be one of the first horses in your multiples.. remember it has form against Makybe Diva... and was pratted 4 wide today.. Aussie Jock on board and it wins.. i think that was obvious.. the Japanese jock would have learned a heap there this arvo.. so should be a huge chance in the Mel Cup Yep Railings... owes me absolutely nuthin... I was yelling for the 3 of em down the straight I gotta say.. but having the winner on top was nice for the ego.. Mummify being hurt has upset me... I saw his first start and thought here is something very special... I think it may have been Mornington ( not sure tho).. Unlike a lot of punters I love the animals, and he has been one of the bravest and best that I have seen.. and always underrated.. Lets hope he can live, but he has broken a couple of bones in his fetlock so isnt a great prognosis... lets keep our fingers crossed |
Yeah, Eye Popper looks good for the Melbourne Cup now, especially if it's a dry track.
|
Well, I've learnt a lesson. 2yo races are out and so are races shorter than 1200. Just can't get a handle on them.
Had a good day overall though. |
A few for tomorrow..
*Sigrun S/C r7. I was on this horse last week when it raced wide the whole way and still boxed on..Won't have to go around a single horse tomorrow..very confident but i'm guessing the price will very short. Shedding down the bottom finished well last start and is bred to run all day..bryne on board ...these 2 should fight it out.. *Taxable Income S/C r1. another horse i've been following ,Ric gets the ride back tomorrow and seems to ride this horse best..He's a one paced type of horse but against this ordinary lot should get the lead and fight them all off..his run a few starts ago racing wide was full of merit..looks a good jumper in the making imo.. *Catchadane. Gosford r2..horse is flying and has good form around some excellent horses..i like the freshen and drop back in distance..good jock.. has to beat the toppy Centre fire who i rate the only danger,, *Wallarah Boy..Gosford r5.. really like this horse...had no luck last time but hit the line hard..is rock hard fit for this and from the inside barrier looks a reall good thing..won at the track before . gets alot of ticks,, Should get a price out of 2 of these 4.. others i like are Onions Gosford r2 and Miss Celia Nowra r5..... Good luck tomorrow guys :) |

Well, you're not much of a jockey then, are you??? :D |
just wondering if anyone saw the seymore cup?? just wanting to know how far away was requisite and how good a run he got? i was only listening on the radio and cant really get much from that.

Tri $2519.10 :) ($387.42 for a slab) 1st4 $74197.70 :D ($949.73 for a slab) |
Didn't have a go at that trifecta there as I thought it was too open. Just had a small each way bet on 3 & 6.
My big win of the day was Brisbane race 6. Good old Mardi Gras. I was VERY confident about her chances. Got half the trifecta and a quarter of the first 4. Also got the first 4 in Melbourne R6, but that really wasn't too hard. |

Nice win on Catchadane ..missed with Walarah boy 3rd ...1 from 2.. didnt back Sigrun ..just wasnt sure about the heavy track..did have a slab on though..thought he did well ..still has alot to learn but has a future.. Taxable Income scratched ...onions 2nd to short...nice win with Miss Celia,,like this horse and maybe should of had more than a slab...but rules are rules .. can't argue with 50% pot....very happy with the 2 only selections during the week days,,..seems to be working :) |
Hi Guys
My 2 for tomorrow *Acinonyx.. Scone R7.. this Catbird filly isnt bad..last win although awhile ago was very easy..Has had a couple of trials to get ready for this and hasnt been extended in any of them..She's a 4yo with only 2 starts so i'm guessing she's had some probs..the 2 trials suggest she's over them..Robbo on board which is always a good thing except not for the price we'll get.. theres a couple others i dont mind in this race..Taxformer looked good last start and Miracle Fred has ability aswell... If acinonyx is to short and if Robbo has had his usual dayout she might be....I still think it will be a good trifecta race with the other 2 mentioned.. Cool name isn't it ..means Cheetah in Latin..just has to win with a name like that.. *Lester Cove..Orange R7.. ..has a wide barrier ,,big weight and a chick jockey...not my usual go but i just loved the way this boxed on last start with exactly the same..except the jock.. Races well 2nd up ,, actually beat Blinkin Quick awhile ago which is pretty good form he's won 7 from his last 8 races,,....Lester should come across from the wide barrier and race prominent which is always good here and in these type of races.. The distance maybe a worry but he looks to of come back stronger this prep .. should get nice e/w odds about him..,,i thought Billigaboo a big danger.. Didnt mind Dark Centaur ..in the big race at Orange..forget his last run but before that pushed juerga to the limit..consistent horse who just needs to jump well to win this.. Good Luck All :) |
(sigh) I only get 1-4 at Scone and 1-3 at Orange.
Glenn |
Quiet in here today :)
where were you Sportz ,,Glenn needed your help.. Lester Cove ran a huge race to just get pipped on the line...was hoping for better odds but a win is a win.shortened a stack though on ias ..wasnt my little $500...missed the tri ...follow this horse he'll win a few this prep,., By proccess of elimination Tax Former won ...and paid around $3 ..nice collect and i thought good odds with the toppy and Miracle fred out.,,got only half the tri as i got a litle greedy with it and needed Shades of steel for third or 2nd.. Good day just the same...keeping up this streak on the week days..been very consistent..whish i could be more consistent on the saturdays where i just seem to jag the big collect to save me.. hope you guys had a good one :) |
*Chevron Island ,,,Ballina R8...I like this horse ..did the job for us last time and looks well placed here..very promising horse and is still learning.did a few things wrong last start but still won..
some good horses in this race so i should get a price... Only the one for me tomorrow .. good luck :) |
Yeah, sorry about that, Glenn. Had some other stuff on, so didn't get much of a chance to look at them today. Didn't bet at all (apart from Brian's trot tip :D).
|
Not a problem, Sportz. Everyone has other, even better things to do. I didn't get rich, but I held my own.
Regards, Glenn |

Acinonyx raced Sunday...just watched the video..missed it as i saw Onions as good thing but odds on.. She raced well ,,finished 5th ...in the straight she shifted out and the winner and Onions sandwiched her and squeezed her out the back,,,she was never extended and wasnt touched with the whip....worth keeping an eye on.. Confident about Chevron Island today...alittle concern over the gap between races hoping there isnt any probs...my mail says there isn't.. the form is good and races well fresh.... |
Good Luck Maverick
"Good day just the same...keeping up this streak on the week days..been very consistent..whish i could be more consistent on the saturdays where i just seem to jag the big collect to save me.."
make the most of it Mav..everything seems to run in cycles, esp when on the punt professionally.. I usually get nervous after several consecutive 2nds, because they usually go on to form a drought devoid of winners. My theory on that is that some of the short- half- heads etc that go against you were horses that should have been your winners. I had a horrendous run with 2nds recently..the worst I can ever recall, and it can be very trying when that happens bet after bet after bet...Prior to this I had a run of winning photofinsishes..it all evens out Last week My Best Tycoon turned the tide by winning by a short half head for me at good odds, instead of losing out in a photo and running 2nd, but my confidence had not still not fully recovered. Then, on Sat. Kananda Queen came from 2nd last to win by a head.(Thank god for sportingbet and their Maxidiv on sat metros... if only they offered Maxidiv on non metro and midweek). How that horse got out to $48 is beyond me.. After three good winners I feel that everything is back on kilter for me and the horror run has ended...until next time... I wish you all the very best with your venture into full time punting. yep its fun alright and you will have grand days and weeks where things don't go wrong. You will also have times when you wonder what the hell you are doing ,as the pendulum swings back to level things out and the photo finishes and jockeys do their best to screw you.. Savour the good runs and keep your sanity on the bad ones..and I dont care how high anyone's strike rate is , I'm sure every professional punter (and jockey) has periods when the runs of outs far exceeded their expectations and calculations... It's not the financial dent, but rather how your head handles it that matters...it can be real battle of wits and no one can really prepare you for that. When turning full time it can be very tempting to look for bets, and attend meets that you really should have stayed away from..at least that's what hapened to me when i first went full time. With no friends to play with during the week, the track and its regulars can easily become your friends and family and lure you to attend meetings you otherwise wouldnt go near... My suggestion is to make sure you have some off course, non- punting friends to play with during the week. If attending meetings, keeping oneself occupied between races can be a trap also..esp if you have a selection in r2 and one in r8 and nothing in between. You have to fight the urge to have play bets, each too much, or worse still, contemplate a drink...Discipline, discipline discipline.... All the very best to you Mav..you are taking yourself to a higher level that very few people ever reach. Enjoy! Good Luck everybody |
RAcing 18-10
Well..... isn't this the most dead of threads during the week, since the Carnival started...... :(
I can not believe for a second that everyone is so focused on the Midweek and Saturday Metro meetings....... I am positive people are still doing the form/ratings for every meeting of every day...... So even if your not punting yourself, why would you not share your thoughts with the rest of the forum? Anyone that say's they are disciplined and stick to the Metro meetings - IMHO - are kidding themselves...... false sense of security..... Anyway after my b.i.t.c.h. and moan session....... here are my thoughts for today: Kyneton Race 7 - 5 Gallantree / 6 Tamika's Boy / 7 Thunderline - 2,3 Race 8 - 2 Boyracer / 6 Unome / 3 Final Sailing - 1,4,9 Race 9 - 1 Al Tharb / 3 King's Champ / 9 Star Lord - 4,10,5,6 (Quaddie Numbers R6 - 2,3,7,8) Ballina Race 1 - 2 Coalmine Race 2 - 1 Tuskegee Race 3 - 1 Billie Deeay Race 4 - 3 King Chariot Race 5 - 2 Smile High Race 6 - 3 Zaruby Race 7 - 2 Wrong Doing Good Luck People :) (Again I have left myself way open for a hit...... :( ) |
lmao..settle down stix..I'm still going..the last 2 days have been fairly ordinary racing and alot of those races werent worth rating..
I suppose i'm diferent to you as i have a large stable of runners and usually only rate races with these in them.. check out tomorrow.. the last in Brissie looks a cracker as does the Murray Bridge Cup and Geelong racing.. i'm guesing alot of us are looking at these and i'm even looking at Saturday already :) Thanks for your Advice and encouragement W924...I'm hopefully finalising some business interests which keep me very busy although not very profitable at this stage.....punting is some what financing all of these ventures at the moment.. the goal is to sort few things out and be free and clear by about March.. i'll keep a few minor things going which arent too time consuming so i still have a source of income thats not reliant on the horses.. I have'nt expereinced the dreaded run of outs yet ..but i've only been going 1 and 1/2 years seriously so i guess my time will come..starting from such humble beginnings i've come along way ..the things i've learnt from this forum has been invaluable..one bit of advice i got from Sportz and year and half ago was to be more selective ...its taken me this long to realise that this is real good advice..i used have a million runner running arround....still have to many on the Saturays but i'm slowly getting there,,, The dream is to go full time ..travell around the country following feature meetings and as well hopefully watching my own horses racing.. Being a recently single man i couldnt think of a more exciting proffession.. |

Good to hear your doing so well Mav. I wouldnt reccommend going full-time pro (from my own personal experience) but if it's something you need to try, then all the best. I used to spend 12-14 hr days keeping up with the form, waiting patiently for the overlays, etc & I eventually got sick of it. Suddenly this game wasn't so much fun. The angina attacks weren't much fun either :p I pulled the pin on that venture a few years ago & went & got myself a degree instead. A few years away from the game renewed my love of it, but i will forever remain a small time punter now. I'd really, really recommend you try getting some work with Humbleton instead, you'd do it standing on your head, as would quite a few on this forum. Good luck anyway |

Certainly not having a go a you (Always follow your tips :) ) - or anyone else for that matter..... just think it is interesting that a few weeks/months ago there were tips/ratings flying left right and centre and now........ since someone mentioned the words "Spring Carnival"......... everyone has pulled their heads in.......just an interesting observation - that's all..... :) I don't think people who punt and either read and/or contribute to this forum totally ignore Sunday's Monday's, Tuesday's, Thursday's and Friday's racing...... seems they are deserting the old friends that have given them so much..... for so long..... :D |
