Flippers on up in brissy boys, possibility of Eagle farm being called off.

[q-money]

really didn't think the oaks field was much chop anyway, better to can this weekend and save the track for the straddy, which everyone should agree is the more important race of the two

Good weekend on the punt.

[q-money]

joao moreira with 3 rides for waller, on counterattack in the stradbroke, lets see what the magic man can pull out from the wide draw

[skippy]

Weir multi for all the group ones would be worth a lazy $10.

Close eye on my popette, word from someone at Melbourne airport that it looked a treat heading up. Just checked it out running in the same race as ghisoni just needs to box her in...

[skippy]

Mate that has a share in Q's arch nemesis MM sent me the update that BB sent around this morning, they are keen on it at $10's after all it towelled up half the field 2 weeks ago they think it can do it again.

mates of the owners are tipping me into some each way value on Artlee in the Straddie. They were ready to set fire to the jockey after its last run but it ran home strong.
Only carrying 52. Might be worth a look.
Will prob be on Music Magnate though.

best of the day for mine is king's officer in R3 at rosehill, had a smashing win in the muck a couple of weeks back and has been knocking on the door for a while. can get 3.70 about it at the moment, top weight today.

no probs, hope you did better than me over the day.

the ride on turnitaround was criminal.

also dunno if anyone was watching rosehill yesterday...himalaya dream, having been beaten by 10L, 20L and the like this prep storms home like winx over the top of ammirata. that'll do me, hawkes brothers clearly stinging everyone here. should be an inquiry into it.

same thing with ****en dinghu mountain, i had backed lanciato, very tidy NZ horse at 15s, was heading home then hugh bloody bowman blasts the thing from last to first. go away bowman you pest :rof:

Apparently himalaya dream did the same thing last time he won, his 2 previous races lost by about 20 lengths than 3rd up comes home.

Will be keeping an eye on this trend next time.

Glad I hedged my bets when cavs were down 2-0.

[skippy]

The biggest pest in racing?
Punters' nemesis Himalaya Dream ($38.50) landed a low-blow to punters when performing a miraculous form backflip to win R7 at Rosehill. After leading and fading to finish last in two previous starts (beaten 11.4L and 11.3L), the Team Hawkes-trained enigma benefited from a change of tactics and flashed over the top late on the back of a quiet ride. Interestingly, the gelding’s previous win (also at Rosehill) also came on the back of two genuine stinkbombs.

Himalaya Dream beaten 30L (last), 10L (2nd last), 13L (last), 13L (last), wins at Rosehill. Beaten 11L (last), 11L (last), wins at Rosehill.

And that's stumps for the day when Himalaya Dream wins like Phar Lap

Had that and Tango rain at banterbury, have had a good day and am officially retiring from the punt.

[q-money]

you'll be back, see you saturday

[q-money]

not much today

flemington r1: moshway e/w
flemington r5: jacquinot bay
flemington r8: master of arts

randwick r1: yuma desert
randwick r5: ammirata

eagle farm r8: danish twist, have also had a throw at onemorezeta at the long odds, decent e/w shot, trains with danish twist at the lees stable

don't think i can take azkadellia at 2.60, she will have it all to do today, great horse but maybe a bit too far in the prep for her - you can forgive the run in the straddie as that track was diabolical. back here today but with bowman on danish twist, i reckon he'll overcome the inside gate and get the twist home.

[q-money]

oh yeah, tsaritsa in the last at eagle farm, the old multi doubler there

[q-money]

yeeeesh eagle farm is awful

Malaguerra getting transferred out of the Frredman stable, where does he go? Weir or waller ?

[q-money]

going to peter gelegaotis :rof:

did they just not want to pay lee or something? how bizarre

you can't argue with the form, just two blips on a ghoulish soft track at randwick and the monstrosity of eagle farm

[skippy]

Apparently due to lack of communication from the trainers, no major surprise there.

[skippy]

Who we on this weekend boys?

Looking at stratum star, thurston and yulong baby as my picks of the week.

[plague]

Went a weird strategy today and put ALL of the cash on 'a lotta love' at Caufield race 9.
Got up at 4's.
Hilarity at the boozer.
We going to Disneyland.

[leftrightout]

I actually had a punting free weekend, just didn't get the chance late in the week to have a look what was on so decided to save the pennys!

[q-money]

had yulong baby and some other stuff but nothing else of note

NSW to ban greyhound racing from July 1, 2017.

*or could be a gee up.

[q-money]

look where the home of greyhound racing in NSW is...doesn't take long to do the math here

[PC14]

NSW to ban greyhound racing from July 1, 2017.

*or could be a gee up.

Not a gee up.

Quite unbelievable really. Yes there are issues with illegalities in the industry. However it is across the board, not just greyhounds, but gallops and pacers too. While I don't condone any of the illegal actions, I do condone the painting of all with the same brush. There are a lot of honest, hard working trainers and breeders that will lose their job because of this.

[q-money]

old mate ralph horowitz on twitter has a decent point though, the number of races each year is probably unsustainable. same with horses to an extent. lots of mid-week rubbish running around that's probably only good for the knackers anyway.

more oversight and control of the bad-egg owners, and less races at a higher standard would be a better outcome than a blanket ban.

crap product made worse by the sheer weight of numbers and the turnover of animals.

further, will be interesting to see if Baird stands by his hot take and refuses to take the cut of turnover of interstate greyhound meets. bet he doesn't

[plague]

Libs just hate the working man don't they.
Baird is a discrace.

[hawk]

Only one state? Shut the whole lot down. add the trots in with em. Just play 2up all year round. Beer and drugs will have tax added again

[The Dunster]

Libs just hate the working man don't they.

He wouldn't have the balls to ban Polo, Equestrian, and Thoroughbred racing even though they are equally as dire for the animals in many respects.

flemington r7: araldo junior (down in weight here, ran 5th to master of arts carrying 59.5 while up in trip, back at 57.5 with bayliss claiming, is a good horse and back to 2500, q's "play of the day")

canterbury r5: kings officer e/w @ $6 & $2, lanciato (i've been on the kings officer train last three starts, just keeps winning these ghastly highway handicaps, but has one tommy berry on the back tomorrow, it'll be shit or diamonds. lanciato is a very good horse - opened at 3.00 but if it starts to drift i'd get on it. money will be going for one of these two. maybe duet them if you're a thrillseeker)

morphettville r1: alamonteel

So far I had only planned on backing Bon Rocket, Bon Elise and So Si Bon.. :brrr:

[PC14]

flemington r4: yulong baby


Backed her last time out and will follow tomorrow even though she is a little short. Came from a distance back last time and lost in a photo. Decent draw means she should get a decent spot in running and the longer straight at Flemington should suit.

If you back her on the back of this and she looses, I hope you feel comfort in the fact that I will have lost money with you.

a 1.8 million dollar Snitzel colt out of Alinghi...unsighted, ran 5th at hawkesbury...may make for some very expensive glue

[q-money]

here we go for the #qtips $et for saturday the 30 july, strap in

https://media.giphy.com/media/4cwZDmx5A6i08/giphy.gif

rosehill R1: with skip on this one, Sugar Bella now on the drift out to 6.50 after opening at 4.60 on SB, very backable at those numbers for a small play. up to metro grade today and has been beating the older girls for fun out in the sticks. lets go for a big fill up first up carrrrrn.

rosehill R2: Esteban 1.60...absolute poison odds for mine but can be a useful multi builder for the thrillseekers out there. not much value it unless you want to be around him. Zayam with bowman on the back maybe a decent look in at 6

rosehill r4: my mate rustic melody is at 14 and not moving. i love this horse, has won for me at 15 and 26. i could kiss it. tougher race today on firmer ground though - probably needs much more sting out, a bit of rain would have helped. however - there will be some speed in the race if flamboyant lass and marple miss go out hard, leaving her a spot to swoop home late. did it up the rails at randwick two starts back with avdulla on board - carn big rust

caulfield r7: mahuta the big danger, who knows what he'll bring here - if he wins he'll do it the hard way chasing down lord of the sky and charmed harmony - probably too short a race for mahuta, but a good hit out nonetheless coming into next season. both LOTS and CH will blast away from the start over 1200, happy to back charmed harmony and lord of the sky e/w for a small amount along with mahuta for the win.

best of luck dawgs

[q-money]

RIP

big late go for golden organic with the change of tactics, will be interesting to see if front runners can keep this up today

[skippy]

Wasn't a bad run by sugar bella, up in grade and haven't seen her race on the speed.

Get fine mist in your black book, 3rd run and was huge being caught 3 deep the whole trip, 2 more strides and would have won.

Estaban is too short for mine but jeez its done it easy leading the whole way the last 3 races, if it touches evens I will have a lash.

Just follow Williams, Kah and Tan today.

Also Alegria at good odds.

just listening back to the correct weight podcast from sunday, i had no idea old mate LOTS actually has compromised lung function, effectively an asthmatic horse, cannot run when it's too hot, or too humid. the weather on saturday was supposedly bang on - one to add to your notes if you're doing the form on this chap.

still can't get over how bad craig williams' ride on charmed harmony was. yuck.

good wrap up of victorian saturday metro racing with a bit of country now and then, usually has the winning trainer of the big saturday races and the top jock of the weekend, i usually listen on the way to work monday morning

the best one they used to have was with adam blencowe who is the handicapper with racingandsports.com.au, and used to do a timeform recap - but i think it only runs through the carnivals but very useful

just had a look at the acceptances for the missile stakes - not one with any wet track experience pretty much...Wouldn't It Be Nice about the only one who's even set foot on a vaguely wet track - will be speccing on that i think.

i love capitalist, especially after getting 10s for him (ffs) in the slipper but no way would you take 1.40 on the bog that randwick will be by saturday

reading old mate protectionist won't be coming out, will be going at the arc instead.

another interesting thing i read on another foz re: kris lees and international horses, his strike rate is pretty much better than anyone else out there, and that the majority of waller's last ones he's brought out are all pretty much unmitigated disasters and that he'll be focusing on NZ yearlings. after looking back at the duds he's brought through i'd probably be inclined to agree. the bloke has some rippers but jeez he is holding some obscene underperformers

[skippy]

Bit of a write up on jockeys you may be interested in Luke Murrell from Australian Bloodstocks, the team that got protectionist over as well as other O/S horses, knows what he is talking about and tells it straight.

"I've also caught up on my jockey rankings and these are current as at Saturday just gone and from the 1st January. For those unfamiliar I record every jockey in Australia in certain areas but naturally concentrate in NSW. You will find that most jockeys are more hindrance to a horse than a help and as a result we are looking for the jockeys who make the least amount of mistakes. With the racing media being what it is it’s a very small world and often a jockey is given praise when not deserved ( or simple doing his job) or because he is “famous” and it’s the cool or done thing. Don’t forget not all jockeys get the same opportunities because perhaps they might not play the game with owners and trainers , perhaps because they can’t strong two words together or perhaps they are just rude or unlikable . I find the best gauge is to rate jockeys on their errors largely – whilst also keeping track of the category “ the ride won the race group – which for the average joe doesn’t occur as much as you might think”. Marks are also given for good rides that don’t get the winners.
What this does is highlight who is riding well and who is not but are living off the back of stable support or repuatations

Some Interesting findings perhaps for those who perhaps are influenced by the media

Name Errors Per Ride “ Ride won the race “ Consistency SP profile finish
Brenton Avdulla 1 every 9.8 rides 1 every 17 27/30 71%

No surprise has been riding well for 18 months plus – becoming for popular with bigger stables and getting more chance- deadly at provincials and best reader of track conditions in Sydney- Riding also more confident now and prepared to try things which has seen him win a number of races he had no right to win- due to his lesser profile he does better his mounts SP profile finish more often than anyone has for the last 10 years I have run them- however expect that to change in coming months as he gets on better stock- no bias sprinters or stayers

Hugh Bowman 1 every 7.9 rides 1 every 19 25/30 51%
Considered by many as the number 1 and rightly so – but no doubt well down on his best form which saw him peak with errors per ride of 1 in every 12 last year. The trips away perhaps help him come back invigorated – but Autumn was horrible for him despite his big wins with lots of genuine “slaughters / gave that no hope “ rides. Getting better from the gates but tactically can be exposed. Still world class just not as good as he was. However no reason he wont bounce back. Still heavily over bet- no bias with sprinters or stayers

James Mcdonald 1 in 6.8 rides 1 ride in 24 24/30 42%
Whilst with Godolphin basically drives the most amount of “Ferraris” than anyone else- has good media presence but still makes heaps more mistakes than he should. Still doesn’t ride as confident as he used to in NZ when untouchable over their and almost faultless. The trip to UK should boast his confidence – although publically that didn’t seem to be a issue. His horses always over bet although stable underperforming largely


Blake Shinn 1 in every 7.2 rides 1 ride in 24 25/30 54%
Going ok and holding his own- doesn’t make as many slaughters as he used to but struggling with his really big “outthink them tactically ride” his holding his form and is still a genuine top 5 jockey in Sydney which is the best and most competitive environment in the world for tactics. Is very good track bias reader

Tom Berry 1 in every 5.6 1 ride in 19 22/30 44%
Everyone loves tommy but has really issues with his speed and judging it and often wrecks all chances on horses by leading and riding too pretty – lots of anchor drops and tactical mistakes. However he has the ability to pull out a screamer of a ride more often than some . His overrated as a jockey but that’s largely down to his business skill and personality which has taken him a long way. Can ride but not as consistent as he should be- a good jockey when sitting off them and when following a pack- very poor when in front.Is good track bias reader most times

Glyn Schofield 1 in every 7.2 1 ride in 22 24/30 61%
Big improver this last period thanks to a great partnership with James Cummings horses. Seems to have found his hunger and whilst still poor in tactics is riding very well and now getting under bet and offers upside- especially with Cummings horses- can be a victim of playing follow the leader and not making a decision- but big improver overall this period- Poor track bias reader

Tim Clark 1 in every 5.2 1 ride in 31 20/30 54%
Definitely not the same rider we sent to HK- doing his best but seems to have no confidence or tactically nous . Has the ability somewhere but not at present

Sam Clipperton 1 in every 5.3 1 ride in 33 20/30 51%
Sam is bred and butter- goes ok but overall cant really help your mount- often seems put off by the big boys !!

Kieran Mcvoy 1 in every 7.2 1 ride in 24 25/30 64%
Probbaly one of the best and most improved. Still has a weak link for sprint races and tactics but possible the best middle distance plus rider we have at present. Always gives his middle distance horses most chances and if not for a few mistakes and lack of imitative in sprints would be right up there with Bowman challenging. Well worth following"

[q-money]

thanks mate, good read

have to agree with avdulla on top, has come through with some truly world class rides the last few months (dubaiinstyle and allergic the most recent). can read and pick his runs, i.e. the one on rustic melody at 26-1, inspired stuff there, am begging for him to get back on her.

of the apprentices, deanne panya and blaike mcdougall are riding out of their skins at the moment. there's no better jock (apprentice or otherwise) on front runners than panya at the moment. mcdougall is working super hard, gives his rides every chance as well, one to watch.

How long before they make a run on banning the nags.

Listening to regular hammering on the dogs most of the crap they going on with is just as relevant for horses as it is for greyhounds


Or is it going be like the government's stance on alcohol and cigarettes.
Both are deadly and not need to be encouraged yet the booze industry has nowhere near as much red tape strangling it like the cancer stick industry has had inflicted on it yet gets the green light on many things that they shouldnt

look it might happen down the track, but this is the same NSW government that tipped in $10 million to the pool at the Championships this year.

the word on the street is that as baird lost the backing of Fred Nile in the senate and needed the greens and animal justice to push stuff through the upper house, hence the greys ban

the cut from the championships alone is projected at $41 million to the government each year, but never say never

how anyone could bet on eagle farm with any confidence is beyond me but anyway...the monstar R6 is one for the thrillseekers such as myself

[q-money]

here's the #qform early doors randwick form for the true believers

http://dailywrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/AJ-Styles-Tetsuya-Naito-NJPW-gifs-001.gif

Randwick R1: Super Tycoon - hard to back against the Tycoon here, has been going great guns and is great value at 2.70. not much other than Conarchie or Pindan Pearl going to beat him, probably Conarchie the one to do it with my main man avdulla on duty if it's going to happen. lock in the early price for the tycoon, eddie.

Randwick R2: Lie Direct - With Deanne Panya now finding her range on front runners, with her 3 kilo claim it's hard to go past Lie Direct here. But, with no real speed in the race, but the jig might be up. Happy to have a small play here but thrillseekers beware

Randwick R3: the Randwick equivalent of the inside running at eagle farm. a no go zone. if you're crazy enough to even attempt to play here look at Thunder Road with koby jennings claiming a couple of kilos. only the very brave, very rich, or very stupid. 3 bucks on thunder road at 41 thanks love.

Randwick R4: Derryn - We're currently in a great time for horses sired by the reasonably unfancied Hinchinbrook (as compared to his 3/4 brother Snitzel). 2x G1 winner Press Statement (who outrageously has gone to stud ffs), Samara Dancer, and the new dawg Manaya coming up later. Derryn, what a name, after the worst bloke ever Derryn Hinch(inbrook). Overcame a horrific barrier last start to storm home with fastest last 200m at Caulfield 2 weeks back. Carn.

Randwick R5: Manaya - another Hinchinbrook special. half sister to Hot Danish, has trialled well of late. Scone win 3 months ago is probably the best guide, where she blasted home around a field of 15 for the true believers. I was on that day, i still shed a tear for my sweet angel Manaya. cool story, my mum and dad's next door neighbour's son in law owns a bit in her. says she's ****en flying. get on.

Randwick R6: Can't take anything here, Generalife lol. Yuck. Will probably win with the Gun on the back. Le Romain should win, but probably wont. few bucks for a small play. The hot tip from the Q-man is to put a schooner or two on old mate Decision Time. Has lost his way but finds it from time to time. 2 schooeys on this would net you a few rounds. Decision Time, ****os

Randwick R7: Where we play the "How long can we wait to let Winx get to 1.65 before we back her?" game. Yes. Easily the best horse in the race, but the best horse doesn't always win. Is this where the streak ends? Probably not but you could spec around the whole field and load up on Winx and still come out ahead. I'll just be watching. Waiting. Samuel L Jackson.

Randwick R8: Actually one for the thrill seekers, with Frill Seeking about the only one with any speed in the race. Couldn't entertain it though, and would back Pioneering here, Heavens Above also overs for mine at 8.

Randwick R9: Southern Legend the clear choice here with Tim Clark on the back and at 3.60. Has been in the q-book for a while, i think Skip put us on. get us home in the getout stakes ledge.

[skippy]

Excellent write up 10/10 would read again.

Have actually had to do work at work this week **** me whats the world coming too, so havent had my usual time to study the form.

Anyway these are fairly recent additions to my black book. Pianissmo Kembla Grange R7, Dixie Blossoms R8 Randwick and with Q all over Derryn.

[q-money]

luckily i had doubled R1 and R9, southern legend saved my bacon in the get out stakes

winx, what a superstar. did bowman even pull the persuader out?

i missed the early ones, but i see derryn got dunzoed late on in the piece. manaya not even sighted.

rory hutchings should get a bloody olympic gold medal for his ride on pianissmo at kembla - gone inside, gone outside, got checked, eventually got out round the back and scraped home. terrifying, exhilarating ride.

eagle farm, what a shit-show. a disaster across the track. can it.

Brilliant write up Q, not the best day for you in the end but your opinion on forms is pretty spot on with mine! Luckily I worked most of the weekend and didn't get much punting done.

[q-money]

Rustic Melody R8 at Sandown tomoz, soft track, Oliver on board, $13 up at the moment, very decent each way shot if oli actually lets her hit the line

[q-money]

we are live for the hotly awaited q-form for all the subscribers out there, waiting with bated breath for the great man's tips

here we go!

http://pa1.narvii.com/5928/6aecb8584e03d79d751adcf6ada8afe921403525_hq.gif

Rosehill R1: Tough one to start the day. Kathy O'Hara jumps off Birds Of Tokyo who scooted away in the muck a couple of weeks back but gets Jessica Payne claiming 3 kilos on the back, if she boots her out she could very well be able to do it from the front. Firebird Flyer very well in at the weights with Innes also claiming 3. Northern Journey probably the biggest danger, with the punter's friend and absolutely vicious leader on true front runners Deanne Panya claiming as well. Malleable to lead them out and i think that Panya can get a gun run off his back. The $7 for Northern Journey is good value and i'd give him a crack. Not ideal to start the day though.

Rosehill R2: Extensible. Next.

Rosehill R5: Panya again on Allez Chival is the one to watch. Only 1100 and probably has the motor to scoot away. Also Rose of Man here who had Winx style sectionals last outing, put these two together for mine. Rose of Man to run down Allez Chival for the win.

Caulfield R5: We've Got This - one would hope we would have this, you can get 15s around this bloke on SB at the moment, a very decent each way shot

Caulfield R7 - Memsie Stakes: Group 1 is back baby. More chances to lose all your money on useless nags, but at least there's a sense of occasion. Lord of The Sky scratched and off to the farm to produce more front running nutcases who will kill your multi faster than you can say Sooboog. Tavago also scratched, more carnage rubbed out of the race. Charmed Harmony to lead - not sure he's as savage as the Lord and will get gobbled up by the pack.

Darren Weir doing a Waller here which I think might be a bit off tbh, with Palentino and Mahuta probably the cannon fodder for old mate Black Heart Bart. Maybe he's got a deal going with the owners, I don't know, but I don't like it. This whole race is a bit smelly - Tally at 34s is absolutely ridiculous overs, an E/W shot there will land you some nice biscuits. Hard to ignore Black Heart Bart though, should get a gun run from Rawiller and definitely should win this over the trip.

good luck my G's

BHB is a serious race horse, did it easy.

Stay on our boy Rokki and sir Bacchus.

he's no nash but i thought he rode old mate bart pretty well in the last two G1s. some horse that

how's jmac's last 3 at rosehill yesterday - an absolute beaut on astern (that was some race), some classic ghisoni-esque action on allergic, then storming home like it was mid-week trackwork in the last. hard to pick this guy.

[The Dunster]

Horses are 500kg or so, have small brains, and are extensively inbred. And yet people think the jockey is responsible when the horse doesn't get the job done.

[q-money]

are you saying any 50 kilogram child can pilot a thoroughbred?

to say the jockey can't be at fault because the horse is stupid is a bit weird. you can watch blokes slaughter chances on decent horses every afternoon of the week if you really want.

I'm saying a professional jockey can't always make a thoroughbred do what they want them to, and I certainly didn't suggest that any 50kg child could do better.

Jockeys can stuff up no doubt but according to punters it's always the jockey at fault. That was my point.

I'm saying a professional jockey can't always make a thoroughbred do what they want them to, and I certainly didn't suggest that any 50kg child could do better.

Jockeys can stuff up no doubt but according to punters it's always the jockey at fault. That was my point.

i blame the horses just as much as the jockeys to be honest. i could blame myself for betting on them but where is the fun in that?

Any horse I back automatically receives a 10kg psychological penalty.

Definitely how it went for me yesterday! Terrible day for LRO!

[The Dunster]

It's not for a few months yet but which horse do people think is going to run 2nd in this years Cox plate?

[q-money]

i threw in early doors on yankee rose as she'd run with an incredibly low weight, but she's now cooked supposedly

highland reel the best of the foreigners based on his last few runs if he shows up

moore v bowman would be great for the kiddies

2.25 on the all-in markets for winx is almost stealing money

[plague]

I won big on The United States last Cox Plate day in the MV Cup, it loves the track and won at the distance.
Wouldn't be surprised if they set it for the Caufield Cup instead rather than waste time chasing Winx's ass.

actually what a weekend that was for the form.
Chautauqua in the Manikato, The United States in the Cup and Winx in the Cox Plate doing exactly what they were supposed to do.

Made punting look easy.

[q-money]

persistence defo paid off backing the united states, had those gun runs at the valley, then the stinkers through the cup, then back up top through the ranvet and the QEII. i jumped off him after the cup, what a dingus i was.

will be nice to see how he comes back. quality horse.

He's nominated for the Dato' Tan Chin Nam Stakes this Saturday over the mile at the Valley. - you would think he will be thereabouts at the finish.

[vikingjet]

Q-Money makin money. Not enough love for Under the Louvre though. He sends my heart aflutter. Will win the Bobby Lewis and Rupert Clarke before giving Chautauqua a hiding in the Manikato.

Nick Carle and UTL will always have my love

[q-money]

holy shit, the return of VJ

must be spring

UTL's run last week behind redzel would have to be one of the better losing rides, never got his chance

[skippy]

**** VJ is back, welcome back big fella.

UTL just seems to be one of those horses that never gets the luck. As much as it comes down to his racing style as anything.

Interesting to see how Tosen Stardom will run for D.K.

Can the cleaner go 3 in a row? We know the pace will be on but who will capitalise on it.

[skippy]

Skips Black Book for tomorrow.

Pianissimo R5 @ Canterbury
War Thunder R7 @ Baklava

Organised a plane for some guys to go out to the Birdsville Races, pilot called me up this morning they bought 2 strippers along. Legends and 1st day of racing postponed cause of the rain in ****ing Birdsville.

Winx will be scratched, fields to be decimated and death valley racing in Melbourne what a weekend.

[q-money]

:rof: have ya seen the birdsville track

no worries lads, drains better than canterbury

[q-money]

early doors i like Coming In Hot, 2 wins on heavy tracks, 53 kilo with my girl panya claiming in R4

worth a stab in the highway handicap dart-board lottery at $31

super tycoon at $5 in the next is also great value, absolutely bomb proof and has thrived this winter in the sydney muck. only problem is he runs into tsaritsa and testashadow, but defo whack them all together in a first 4. old mate decision time pops up again at huge odds, think he might be cooked in city racing these days though

You're welcome q.

Wait until next Saturday in the Bobbie Lewis. UTL to absolutely walk in. Give yourself an early graduation present.

(BTW - congratulations...PhDs are no easy feat)

[vikingjet]

why do you have to be like this VJ?

Apologies plague. I'll rephrase: 'UTL will narrowly defeat Chautauqua in the Manikato to take his tally to 3 Group 1s'

[skippy]

Ladbrokes oddsboost with Winx to win the Cox Plate currently @3's just put some more money on her.

You are a healer and I appreciate it.

Just don't ever say a bad word about Flying Spur or you will see these hands.

Alright Skips Tips and Black Booker time.

Randwick.
R2: Dubaiinstyle
R5: tsarist a
R6: Awoke

R8: Sadlers Lake, Le Romaine, Dibyani trifecta
R9: Got on early on Hidden Pearl at $15's now into $3, can't have it at that price. Japonisme the horse to beat.

Death Valley:
R2: master zephyr if you don't like $1.8 on raw impulse
R3: benny goes bezerk
R5: heathery
R6: Tan tat beauty but watch the 1st starter picadillies
R8: the United States e/w

Black bookers: prized icon Randwick R7 high mist Randwick r3

[q-money]

ladies, gentleman, children of the corn, the esteemed vikingjet (can't believe you're back), we are live with the q-man's saturday special from racing HQ (aka mum's basement)

let's gooooo!

https://media.giphy.com/media/yx6gg27ksRxK0/giphy.gif

but basically with the scratching of Winx (anyone get stung on the all-ins :rof: ?), Super Tycoon and basically everyone else I wanted to have a look at - the Randwick card is basically now a flaming hot garbage pile, however, there's always a few uneaten trash nuggets in there for the true believers.

R1 - Signposted: An absolute filth pig, loves the muck. Blaike McDougall on board claiming 3 - pile in

R2 - Dubaiinstyle: Bowman on - flying. See R1.

R3 - no thanks, would say Swear if i had to. and i will. Swear.

R4 - will be having a stab at New Divide here as well as Coming In Hot. I love these Highway Handicap races, purely designed to get people to part with money with no chance of winning anything. Genius

R5 - Tsarista hard to beat here. Has the obscene closing speed and will hopefully bomb home now Super Tycoon is out. Testashadow will go hard early but I don't know if he's got the legs to hold her out.

R6 - Awoke & Global Glamour to fight this one out i reckon. Avdulla won't want to leave it too late but he's easily the best reader of conditions out there and should have the edge to get the daugther of Rip Van Winkle home. Will need pace and GG might provide it.

R7 - Prized Icon with the super low weight the main danger here if O'Hara can punt him home. She's been riding well recently and gives it a huge chance. Storm the Stars the big flop has the blinkers on today, and better start showing something for the punters who keep piling in on him (AKA me). Probably too short for him. Somehow he's managed to win a million bucks. fmd. Might run a place, probably the value here.

R8 - I like Le Romain here. lots of resumers but Le Romain showed enough the other week to be in the running here. $6 is good fixed and I'd be taking it. Sadler's Lake is due, maybe not particularly well rated to win this race though.

R9 - my boy Japonisme returns. what a beautiful looking horse he is. absolute stunner. Sarajevo out so probably not in danger of getting run down in the finish. Hidden Pearl has the early turn of foot with old mate Craftiness. Good first up and will probably run a place.

good luck my G's - go well farken

R2 Dowdstown Charlie... Sorry lads but makes a good start to the day for me!

[q-money]

yeeeesh what a disaster in the end

[q-money]

Ladbrokes oddsboost with Winx to win the Cox Plate currently @3's just put some more money on her.
Just specked a bit on Tosen Stardom at $13 on the back of yesterday's run, will be a ripping battle if it all goes to plan

[q-money]

righto VJ, plagueos, skip and leftrightout - question time

can the people's champ - under the louvre - deal with the weight penalty he's copping on xtravagant?

my take on it: xtravagant is a serious horse, but there are major question marks on him in australia, and especially first up on softer ground. i believe it's hammering down in melbourne tonight and tomorrow, surely UTL is a ringer here and at $5, my play is UTL in to Black Heart Bart.

what's the good word gents?

[plague]

i sniffed around Kinglike but at 5's even the lightweight mightn't be enough value.
Wont bet UTL out of respect for VJ.

go well lads.

[plague]

they aren't seriously setting xtravagent for the Cox Plate are they?

[q-money]

madness if so.

speaking of a madness, i'll be in melbourne plate weekend, are any of you trendsetters going?

[leftrightout]

I don't know what it is but I'm not sold on Xtravagant. Has so much ability to run fast times but just not reliable enough for me when it's going to be wet. UTL probably shades it for me but I am often wrong, just ask Mr Sportsbet haha

[q-money]

he's a super looking horse and has brained some decent fields back in NZ, but this is his first time down a straight track, same with UTL actually

durendal at 26 looking worth a cover

[plague]

madness if so.

speaking of a madness, i'll be in melbourne plate weekend, are any of you trendsetters going?

are you going?
I've been to Cox Plate 4 times. its the best race day. everyone there for a punt, none of your fancy dress/end of season footy trips etc.
great race day.

[q-money]

yeah mate, have a conference that starts on the monday so off to dig in.

shaping up to be a rip snorter imo. winx, tosen stardom, the US, lucia valentina et.al carrrn

let me know if you're off the leash. i'll be on it with my sweet angel but she picked 5 winners last derby day on the flemmo minefield so i'm happy to have her around.

[q-money]

will probably hit randwick next week for the george main stakes to see TS v Winx round 1 if anyone's about

[skippy]

Won't make it to plate weekend.

But may have talked the boss into getting a Marquee on Cup Day + jump in the private jet down keep your fingers crossed for me lads even if I have to fly down with Jetstar it would be worth it.

Last time I went to the cup cleaned up on Fiorente, one of the guys from hockey was a part owner and had the trifecta.

At least they bought Xtravagent out earlier than the day before a race what a balls up that was, apparently doesn't like the heat and if it plays up in the Mounting Yard its in for a dodgy run.

Its hard to back against VJ though, prob a little on UTL and a roughie is the play, Astro Castro is back or Genralife the cat will be as likely as anything to steal my money.

[pv4]

Carn UTL

[vikingjet]

Tough race for UTL given that this is a Quality Hcp (so he is poorly weighted relative to the lesser horses). Kinglike is the danger, with Santa Ana Lane and Xtravagent filling out the First Four. Kinglike gets no weight for a Group 2 winner and is flying in his trackwork - but if Dwayne tags him in the run, UTL is a superior horse even at the weights.

Those in the media knocking UTL's record down the straight six at Flemington don't realise that in the Bobbie Lewis last year he was poorly ridden by Zahra (as always - swear something fishy was going on). He got caught in behind horses when he didn't have to, and dropped the right rein in the last 100m. He recorded one of the fastest closing sectionals of the millennium.

I am nervous this week given the weight scale and Kinglike's apparent form reversal, but the Rupert Clarke awaits (will walk that in) and then on to the Manikato to take on Chautauqua. The People's Champ (aka the Nicky Carle of Racing) will be at least a dual G1 winner by the end of spring.

[q-money]

Yankee Rose getting absolutely crunched in, who knows something?

Had a gallop up at the coast on the weekend, Blinkers on etc DVD reckon it switched it right on.

Glad I got in early.

[q-money]

Dunno if I can trust her on the back of some of those shocking trials but 6 is still decent based on her clear talent. Not sure on old mate moreira on Omei Sword based on his Strayan record but you can only ride what's put under you I guess

Yeah he is ordinary in Aus, I'm happy with 11's on Yankee and Impending.

Wide open this year aye
