On the way each of the respective races were run (as opposed to how many speed mappers/analysts had them being run), I still think the Zuccheros race a few weeks ago was a bigger 'set-up'. But I'm asounded how some punters knew that this horse would…

I've noticed a large %age of boat races heavily involve apprentices, either they're allowed to lead untouched more often, or 'mistakes' on favourites are shugged off by the masses, or a couple of them turn on the pace for a well supported backmarker…

Within three minutes we saw the best and worst of W.A racing. Delicacy braining them followed by a short priced favourite being pulled up, in what can only be described as a disgusting display.

I realise I've said 'the best of everything' whilst questioning the need for better breeding, but moreso I mean get the best horses over here. The Championships already have as much quality as a Melbourne spring carnival, and breeding had nothing to…

Blaming breeding/bad horses seems too easy to me. Luckygray/Playing God/Disposition/Black Heart Bart/Magnifisio/Barakey/Lucky Street (hopefully)/Elite Belle/Rommel/He or She (wait and see)/Real Love/Mr Moet in the last three years and that's with…

A couple of each way bets- Black Nemesis ($12) and Flying Time ($6)

I know I'm talking through my pocket, as I have two rules; don't back female jockeys and don't back odds on, but that's not what my conversation was about. I know I shouldn't have expected more from Carbery, but I was asking should stewards remind j…

When the rail is out at Ascot the bias has been much more off the rails (I'd quickly found three examples in the last couple of months where this was the case), but in this case the leader is a quality on-pacer who got away with a near 36.5 second f…

No trial and someone's backed it, interesting that the only two times it has placed has been on soft tracks....didn't mind the trial of the 5.

Couldnt care less, this isn't my work but I try to eliminate typo's etc and incorrect wording anyway, it's very easy to miss them on here but again let me emphasize how little I care about it on here. I'm sorry I don't have time to read the bulk of…

slaughter it ! How?You wouldn't find a better ride than T Turners in that race He kept attacking the front with no respite No respite? 64 seconds for the first 1000 metres. Please.

Neverland drew 11 (instead of 6 the previous start), so it's either settling further back or rolling the dice. It had blinkers on first time which tells you they are far less likely to roll the dice (esp on a Peters horse, as his M.O is for settling…

I'd noticed that as well. There's no excuse for that when they can still show 'w.a total trials' twice on various channels over the course of the evening. Amateur.

I'm not convinced that calling Rebel Queen by the wrong name was DW's biggest error in that post. Small field yes, but 'weak field'???? Not so sure about that.....

It sounds a bit silly to say after the fact, but it wasn't that hard to find. You instantly overlook a $1.50 fave with a kid on in race one at Narrogin. The winner profiled to improve markedly and one quick look at the replay (and the stewards repor…

I Done It was very good last start but the price drift is a concern
-
Three I'm expecting to run big races, and all appear to be generous fixed odds prices. Jewel of Denmark $20 Shades of Rio $7.50 Carney $13 The last two appear great e/w bets and I'm expecting massive improvement out of the first one. The rain may …

Looking at the post from Colin I'd suggest he isn't 'in a photgraphic related trade' but could be an amatuer fisherman
-
How is Nastar $16 in R1 at Narrogin? Whether it runs first or last, that is a phenominal price.
-
The two big 'be on me next start' runs came from On the Terrace in R2 and Poets Tale in R3. One big query with each horse is that On the Terrace is a month between runs and Poets Tale steps up 500m.

A few things standing out to me in early markets - Two Tone Blonde is a massive price, I've priced it half the current available quote (the one condition being that the track plays even, which could be unlikely with the rail at the true). The sta…

An army of five soldiers vs an army of one soldier. My guess is that the one soldier would need to be greater than Hercules to win.
