Horse racing tips (or other betting)

[LeftyHoges]

I figure with all of G69's and Eag's (and others) success lately we should start something to alert us all to the value bets and hot tips that we all get privy to every now and then.

Of course posting in here is purely voluntary and youre not obliged to share your winner with everyone but I thought it would be nice.

And it goes without saying that all posts in here are tips only and someone should not be blamed for recommending a donkey that loses your last two bob.

I receive a weekly newsletter from BetEzy with tips (usually around a 50% hit rate) that I'll try to update to this thread every time I receive it.

So, share the love.... Who's your next "dead cert"?!

[AndyP]

NK is a dead cert to win NQ matchplay. However at odds of $1.00000001, it's not worth betting on.

NK is a dead cert to win NQ matchplay. However at odds of $1.00000001, it's not worth betting on.

I have a billion dollars to put on this match though. What's my return and where do I bet? ;)

[Eag's]

I like your idea Lefty. There seems to be quite a few keen punters on here so it could be good fun 8-)

[BroKar]

I like one each way in the oaks, shezaten, it doesn't look like a strong oaks this year

[Eag's]

I like one each way in the oaks, shezaten, it doesn't look like a strong oaks this year

Nice I am very keen on her as well, I just posted this a minute ago in the Cup thread :)

I like Shezaten in the Oaks today, she will be juicy odds and loves the wet & stays all day.

[WBennett]

Wakeful form is good form, and Mike Moroney's Brazilian Pulse looks like it could stay all day.

Want a little bit of value - Heartsareforlove keeps running places at 30/1. Might just be good enough to sneak into the places again today at some juicy odds.

[AndyP]

Shezaten better win.

[BroKar]

wbennett i agree most years but look how bunched they were, her price is too low even if she does win, out of that race i would be backing sasa or hayes filly marasheem or somthing

[henno]

I'm broke, so I'm on a cheapo box tri: Brazilian Pulse, Heartsareforlove, Shezaten - with Brazilian Pulse as standout.

I'm also going to have a flutter on Silver Bullion in race 8. It's a throw-away bet but at 42-1 it was worth some loose change on an each-way in a race that almost any horse could win.

[kpac]

oh why not:

MARAASEEM - take it for the place

they'll pass the post in a bunch, and this thing should be there abouts, doesn't mind swimming, plus forms ok. And you'll get better return on the place than the pulse for the win, i'd prefer to kick home the outsider myself ;)

Other tip: keep you eye on the crowd!

[WBennett]

Backpage lead's racing insider goes ok too - no Gerard Whately, but handy.

http://www.backpagelead.com.au/horse-racing/2995-the-inside-word-on-oaks-day

He's backed off on Brazilian Pulse after tipping it Saturday. So ignore anything else I have said!

Royal Ida fresh in R8 - finally with 'only' 57.5kgs.

Each way at 12's might be worth a little look.

[poidda]

Brisbane to win the A-League at $21. you should have got on that a few months ago. :)

[kpac]

Nice one mate....are you one of those clowns that cheers madly when your horse is leading as they go past the post in the first lap of the Cup too ?

He's also one of the blokes that will bet on BLACK at the roulette wheel continuously, in the theory that "it'll come around eventually"

[BroKar]

I agree completely Golfer69, my only issue with Sasa is the fact that she has done this quite a few times now, i mean how many plunges have the Tim Martin stable tried to pull off with this horse and failed?


I will probably save on her but from the Wakeful the 2 for me are Sasa and Marraaseem or whatever it is called.

[Eag's]

OK, sitting here in our hotel room watching the rain piss down outside, so nothing left to do(before you ask Sms, already done that ;)) but have a punt 8-)
Here are a few value runners at Flemington today.

Race 5 no 11 Alpha Proxima @ $10
Race 6 no 13 Shezaten @ $31
Race 7 no 7 Crawfish @ $10

Good luck people.

[Eag's]

:lol:

[henno]

As an aside, bye bye So You Think: He's been sold to Coolmore Stud (http://www.news.com.au/national/bart-cummings-fumes-at-cloak-and-dagger-sale-of-so-you-think/story-e6frfkw0-1225947593689)

[PeteyD]

wawaw poor Bart. I think they were offered 60 million or something, for a horse that came 3rd!

[Eag's]

It would be very sad if we didn't get to see this great Champion go around again in Oz.

[kpac]

great Champion

wooo wooo, steady up.... still work to be done yet. Don't go the early crow, i hope there's plenty lets in it!!

[Eag's]

Any horse than can win 2 Cox plates and numerous Group ones, place in a Melbourne Cup and has only just turned 4 is very special Kpac.
Not to mention almost $6 mil in prizemoney. I have seen horses achieve half of that yet get called Champions.

[AndyP]

Race 6 no 13 Shezaten @ $31
Sportingbet had it at $26.

[Eag's]

I got on early AP.

[AndyP]

I think Sportingbet odds are generally crappier anyway, since they have a lower minimum bet limit.

What time is this race?

[henno]

Sportingbet had it at $26.


I got on early AP.

I have it at $36. ;-)

[Eag's]

I think Sportingbet odds are generally crappier anyway, since they have a lower minimum bet limit.

What time is this race?

Race starts at 1:55 AP.

[AndyP]

Alright. Go Horsey!

[poidda]

Nice one mate....are you one of those clowns that cheers madly when your horse is leading as they go past the post in the first lap of the Cup too ?

Nah, but I am one of those blokes that when it goes past the post in the first lap and is the hot fav to win at 4s, I will close the bet down and collect 17s without having to win the race.

You're such an amateur sometimes 69er. :)


He's also one of the blokes that will bet on BLACK at the roulette wheel continuously, in the theory that "it'll come around eventually"

Worst mugs game ever.

[poidda]

I have it at $36. ;-)

I'll jump on this bandwagon as well. Betfair has it at 36s still. Go you good thing.

[poidda]

poiddy are you on those clowns to be premiers or win the GF ?

Win the GF

[LeftyHoges]

Good start with Eag's tips. Had $10 each way on Alpha Proxima. Paid $2.90 via BetEzy.

Small profit to start but a profit none-the-less.

[kpac]

crickey, which of you cats took my tip and put the mortgage on it??
Maraaseem have been pumped in the betting.. maybe i should have put it on the snout.

[Onewood]

kpac you know everybody trust each other here,(until after the racers today anyway) so everybody is on it :)

Oh it's a great horse, even a champion of a 4 year old. But throwing stuff like 'great champion' around is a bit harsh on the likes of Carbine/MDiva/Affirmed/SeaBirdII and many more.
I want to see a few more years of So You Think. I'd like to think it could rival some of those great names if given the chance!

[kpac]

kpac you know everybody trust each other here,(until after the racers today anyway) so everybody is on it :)

Certainly hope everyone avoided all the suggestions then ;)

[Eag's]

Agreed Kpac.

Shezaten ran out of gas at the 100m mark :(

[kpac]

Agreed Kpac.

Shezaten ran out of gas at the 100m mark :(

Add to that, the fave looked good for the trip. Was probably a little hopeful for an upset - seems the ozgolfer like a bit of value ;)

Hope your other get home mate!

[AndyP]

I have to go back to work early now.

[Eag's]

Yeah the fav won very well, I just can't back anything that short, odds on... look on :)

[henno]

odds on... look on :)

Yep!

[LeftyHoges]

Another winner. $10 each way on Brazilian pulse for a $45 return.

Hope crawfish can get it done in the next race and it'll be a good day.

[Eag's]

Here are a few value runners at Flemington today.

Race 5 no 11 Alpha Proxima @ $10
Race 6 no 13 Shezaten @ $31
Race 7 no 7 Crawfish @ $10

Good luck people.

No good with my tips running 3rd, 5th & 4th.

[Daves]

Another winner. $10 each way on Brazilian pulse for a $45 return.

Hope crawfish can get it done in the next race and it'll be a good day.

Uh nope, ran 4th.

[LeftyHoges]

Never mind. 4th for Crawfish. No good even for an each way. Still, $75 return for $50 of bets. Do that every time I gamble I'll be a happy man. Might go home and piss it all away on some more races at 4:00.

Happy days!

[Eag's]

Another top day tomorrow at Flemington, it looks like the surface may be dead or better.
I can't wait to see Black Caviar & Hay List go head to head in race 5 :) OK, here are my picks.

Flemington Race 2 no 13 Willy Jimmy @ $9.00
Race 6 no 14 Palacio De Cristal @ $12.00 - Quite keen on her in a very open race.
Race 7 no 4 Marheta @ $23.00 - Has been very unlucky last few starts, gets to the right distance, juicy odds.
Race 8 no 12 Mr Charlie @ $10.00

Doomben Race 8 no 5 Big Chance @ $9.00

All prices are from Uni Tab fixed market, good luck people :)

[LeftyHoges]

Bets placed Eags, hope you're onto a few good 'uns there.

From the BetEzy newsletter this week:

In the 4 nations rugby league New Zealand $2.00 to beat Australia .

In the rugby union Ireland $1.70 to beat South Africa and New Zealand to beat England 15+ $3.20. Also the 3 leg allup paying the juicy odds off $10.88.

In racing from Melbourne race 6 no 6 Albert the Fat will be at odds and if it runs up to its last run then it will be knocking at the door.

Also in Melb R8 No.1 Drunken Sailor was disapponting in the Geelong Cup but had excuses leading up to race will improve dramatically and also Eastern Aria who did not get a start in the Melboune Cup is in this race and did not come all the way from England for a holiday, interesting runner.

Happy punting!!

The Scotsman

Lets see who the better tipper is, Eags or The Scotsman!!!

[AndyP]

Eag's, what are your qualifications? And truthfully, are you up overall in this punting business? These betting agencies make money.

[haysey]

What odds can I get on Tommo knocking someone out before the end of the year?

[Eag's]

Eag's, what are your qualifications? And truthfully, are you up overall in this punting business? These betting agencies make money.

AP, I have been a fan of horse racing for many years, but I have never been a serious punter. I have good days and bad like many others I am sure.
I don't keep stats on how I end up each year, but I have a great time with it and I don't risk money I can't afford to lose. I am only putting tips up because there seems to be quite a few keen punters on this forum and I thought it would be good fun.

The betting agencies make money because they have teams of people doing their form study for them. They ensure the markets they put up don't leave them exposed to the smart & cashed up smart punters out there.

[LeftyHoges]

Spent a bit of time on BetEzy and watching sky racing after knocking off work this arvo. Won enough to make back all the money I put on for Eag's 'tips' and a bit more so I won't curse his name if they all flop tomorrow! :-)

[just]

On a related question which is the best online betting agency? Which ones do you blokes use?

[PerryGroves]

Just, I have always used Betfair (great for golf) as I like to lay bets off as well but also held a TAB account. No longer need the TAB as Betfair now give you fixed, best tote and also all the trifecta, exacta and other options. Lots of free bet and other specials floating around at the moment including sportingbet.

[steverawlo]

yeah Betfair is the way to go.

It's a long way off but I'm waiting for Moe's Brownlow tips next September. He seems to know his stuff when it comes to AFL.

I'm the Cooler so I certainly won't be posting any "specials" on here. I could dead set stop a train.

[Eag's]

I have used Sporting Bet & IASbet, but it might be time to look into Betfair :)
Lately I have been using Uni Tabs fixed price.

[BroKar]

depends how serious you are, betfair is a must due to being able to hedge your bets, i have accounts with just about all the major corporates, i do alot of backing @ 7.50 with sporting bet and laying on betfair @ $6.50 type betting.

[MegaWatty]

It looked like a pretty tuff day on the punt in melb so I'm glad I've stayed bet free until now.
Really tuff races but I've had a dip at wall street in the Emirates and Exceptionally in the Queens cup. Anything that finished close to Americain in the Geelong cup will be a chance today in the Queens.

Cheers mate. I had 8 bucks fitty sitting in my betfair account that I haven't used in ages. Jumped onto Exceptionally at $7.80. Now if I've got this right, if it happens to come into $4, I can lay it off and make a small profit on it without needing it to win...Correct?

[simmsy]

should of gone Wall St. Mega.

[MegaWatty]

It's official. Even with good punters tips, I am the worst gambler....EVER!

[Eag's]

Well what a shocker of a day, lucky nobody pays me for these tips :)

[AndyP]

I'm still all square for the carnival.

[WBennett]

Resuced my account with the winnings of Brazilain Pulse only on Thursday with wins on Launay, Wall St and a each way on Allanthus. Unfortunately there is still bugger all in the account!

[Eag's]

I have backed a few for the Aussie Masters - Michael Sim @ $16, Greg Chalmers @ $23 & I chucked a few bucks on Steven Bowditch @ $34, it would be great to see him do well in this.

[kpac]

I've been checking that out too Eag, Pretty good value field if you're willing to have punt. Certainly no real standouts which makes thing interesting.
Nathan Green is at good odds and his best form would get him amongst them... unlikely, but as likely as many....?

I'd also love to see bowditch get amongst it!

[PerryGroves]

Get that Betfair operational Eags, the first two are 3 points better and Bowditch is 55/1

[Captain Nemo]

Betfair is the way to go!:mrgreen:
As an part owner of 2 horses that are coming down to be trained by Kevin Moses, and my dad and M-I-L, have 3 others with him (Dynamic Syndication's horses), we have made a killing on betfair laying our horses, its like printing your own money!:mrgreen:
As long as you can bank roll yourself at the start with a few k's you will came out way in front.
Everytime they have run the horses fully knowing the are just out for a hitout, i have layed them not to run in the top 3 heaps of times, and just waited till the end of the race to collect!=P~

[PeteyD]

Can someone explain to this nuffy what laying is? Laying dogs sounds a bit too much Canberra Raiders for my liking ;)

[poidda]

Can someone explain to this nuffy what laying is? Laying dogs sounds a bit too much Canberra Raiders for my liking ;)

It's just playing the bookie instead of the punter.

I did it once one rainy afternoon for a laugh. My first 5 bets I laid, 4 of the bastards won and it cost me a fortune. Haven't touched it since.

And yeah, betfairs odds are always better than anywhere else.

[poidda]

For this to happen, sporting bet would have to be paying much better odds than betfair! And if you can lay it for $6.50, than they would only be paying less again. :shock:

[Captain Nemo]

I dont do much actual betting with betfair, mainly laying due to the fact that i know our horses are just runnung dead!

[kpac]

For this to happen, sporting bet would have to be paying much better odds than betfair! And if you can lay it for $6.50, than they would only be paying less again. :shock:

I too saw that as a pretty optimistic example. Realistically hedging bets is a good theory, but i dont think numerous accounts is the way to do it.... Betfair alone is good for it, but hedging the nags is hard work for anything more than pocket change. Hedging bets over a season or to save a multi is the way forward though.

typical kpac.
Have a $100 multi over 5 legs, (stand to win 1k)
4 have done the job - just waiting on the last at $2.5
get on the others at $100 @ 1.33

This was, best case scenario you pocket $1k - $100
Worst case you get your $100 and interest.

HOWEVER as a rule of thumb
The more you hedge, the safer you bet, the less you win.
The less you hedge, the riskier the bet, the more you stand to profit but the more you lose.

[Eag's]

All signed up with Betfair so now I just have to get used to layout of the site and general rules :)

[kpac]

mate you'll be off an running in no time - i find the layout pretty quick and the learning the process wont take you a minute. Back when it was early days in aus, you use to have trouble getting enough people to make a field, but i haven't had any issues of late.

[poidda]

Or another hypothetical.

Say you put $50 on the Roar to win the A-league at $21 back in June. You would stand to collect $1050.

They are now paying 3.45 or you can lay it for 4.40. :)

[poidda]

Good move eags. Now get the smartphone App, and you'll never have to leave trackside again. ;)

Say you put $50 on the Roar to win the A-league at $21 back in June. You would stand to collect $1050.

They are now paying 3.45 or you can lay it for 4.40. :)

So in this situation, they win you collect 1050 and pay out $50 @ 4.40 ($220) if they win, and you get your $50 back if they lose. So no money lost.

Is that right?

[henno]

The only laying I do is for betting on an improvement in form (and therefore odds). For example, at one stage I bet on the Cowboys to win the premiership early on when they were playing like trash. I never actually thought they would run away with it but I knew they would have a hot streak towards the finals. Sure enough they did, I laid my bet and walked away with a modest profit for doing pretty much nothing.

Other than that, it's playing bookie and as poidda found out you can really do your dough if a few winners come through (plus you have to have a healthy balance in your account as the funds need to be there to cover the payout.)

EDIT: It's also good for having a flutter when a horse is unbackable. Like betting that So You Think doesn't win the Cup because a horse paying threes is just silly for that race.

Thats what i do when i get info from the stable the horses are just out for a training run!;)
But as Henno said, you need a healthy $$$ balance to give attractive odds the horse wont win/run top 3 etc....:mrgreen:

[LeftyHoges]

Any hot tips for the Dunkeld races tomorrow? :lol:

I'm heading there for a bucks show so will likely not even be able to remember them anyway but anything to help the drinking fund would be greatly appreciated!!!

[Eag's]

I like the chances of Goldstone at Sandown race 6 no 5 @ $6

[LeftyHoges]

BetEzy recommend Manighar for the Sandown Classic tomorrow...

[PeteyD]

There is a horse called Beauty Strike (first start) going around at Rosehill race 3 who has been backed at $50 into $8.50 who might be worth a few bucks on.

Just had a look at this race on BetFair. Champagne Dynamite paying 1.1 to win but 4 to place? Seems weird.

[Daves]

Just had a look at this race on BetFair. Champagne Dynamite paying 1.1 to win but 4 to place? Seems weird.

Beauty Strike has been scratched.

Maybe it is the small early pool size? Unitab is showing Champagne Dynamite as $5.50 and $1.70 on the tote, and $26 and $6 fixed price.

[Eag's]

Yeah only just saw that scratching.

Just got back from the Stables this morning with the kids (missus is working today and tom, no golf!).:cry:
Moses has 3 in today, Estancia Rios no 5 race 4 is his best for the day, says big place bet would be the go.
FWIW, my 3yr old had a trial yesty at Randwick, one by 4 lenghts or so.
Posh Chic is her name, will prob not have another trial as we wont get a price come race day after that performance!:mrgreen:
For those that have fox, catch the replay later tonight, last trial.

Sorry my bad, looks like my dyslexia is playing up again :oops:

Thats okay Egas!

[Captain Nemo]

After that pitiful run by that cat Estancia Rios rangKevin and he said to have a saver on Let Them Have it!
Got maxi on Sportingbet, $655 collect!
So im $550 CLEAR for the day, no more bets!

[mike]

I'm staying away from it but I'm pretty sure Adam Scott has won every time he's held a 54 hole lead. He's a very good front runner.

Lost once, but that was ten years ago.

[Daves]

Apples is my only hope in the Masters now.

A mate and I have a few bucks on Andre Stoltz; win, top 5, top 10. Hope he keeps the form today! Also had a few bucks on Pete Senior, but he is back a bit too far at this stage.

[Eag's]

Apples is my only hope in the Masters now.

Looking likely Rich :)
What price did you get?

Well I left with $110 in the pocket, paid for enough grog to become an incoherent, dribbling mess and still came home with $90 so I must have won some races somewhere but be buggered if I can remember who the hell they were...

[Daves]

Sorry if it has already been covered, but I am looking at opening a 2nd punt account and I am looking at options. I have had a Unitab account for years, and that has suited me for the very occasional punts I have. I also had a NSW Tab account at one time, but the thieving bastards took the balance with fees over time and just closed it when they ran it dry.

I recently had a look at the Betfair site and noticed you can place lay off bets which would be handy at times. Any other online punt sites I should look at?

[PeteyD]

I didn't put it in here as my tips are usually crap, but Dallas was paying 6's to beat the NY Giants the week after sacking their head coach. Nice little earner there :D

Oakland are paying 6's to win the AFC West as well, not a bad bet considering they are unbeaten within the conference. This seems to be 4 now.

Sportingbet are v. good.
Also have centrbet, but i havnt bet with them since they robbed me of $200 i had on Grand Armee years ago (long story)!

[mudrat]

Hi guys I need some help.

It's my bet in the work punters club this weekend and I need some options. I have 180 to wager in any combination and need to put the bets on by tomorrow afternoon.

Anyone got any suggestions or tips to help me out....

[Captain Nemo]

What sport you into?

[kpac]

Stick the $80 on a multi - say: Adelaide Utd to beat melb heart x Brisbane to beat Fury

That'll make you $180 back and get you another week, and you can use the $100 to splash on whatever you want........ maybe the Hotspurs @ $5+

[LeftyHoges]

maybe the Hotspurs @ $5+

No chance!!! $180 on Arsenal to win would be the better bet! ;)

[mudrat]

I ended up putting a $80multi on the epl Newcastle to win into man city to win and 50 each way on military gal at randwick.

[LeftyHoges]

Adelaide will struggle against Heart.
I have a decent system with draws in the EPL. There are some teams that are just draw specialists. There are always a handful each week.
Find two draws paying $3.30 each and you get almost $11 in a multi.

Fulham vs. Manchester City Mon 22 Nov 01:00 AM

If this game doesnt finish as a draw I will get the mods to change my screen name to "Solarmans Biatch"!

[Dr Turf]

I was drinking with this joker in a bar in Coolum last Sunday and he told me he had backed Mark Webber to be the first to crash out of the GP that night. How un-Australian is that?

[PeteyD]

Oakland are paying 4 against Pittsburg this weekend. #2 run offence against the #1 run defense, but pittsburg have 2 starting lineman out. Pretty good odds for a team coming off 3 wins and a bye.

[rodders]

No way. Spurs will win this one. Odds are great and should dive on.

Played at the Lane and Spurs big game form there has been excellent this year. Wouldn't bet on them if playing someone in bottom 5 though!

[LeftyHoges]

I stand corrected. I don't understand how the **** arsenal can play the better football for 97 minutes and still lose. What an absolute crock of shit. That penalty was the softest you'll come across. Hand 3 inches above his face and it's given. I now give the title of luckiest team in the league to tottenham, bad luck Man U, you've been relegated to 2nd for that crown.

Funny thing was I saw the odds on tottenham winning from 0-2 down at halftime at $21 and was gonna jump on it cos I knew arsenal would find a way to **** it up. God damn it!

****!

[rodders]

Got up at 40min mark to watch and saw 2-0. More disturbingly it was played at Emirates. My bloody online betting always swaps around home team as first so when saw spurs v arsenal thought at the lane.

Not lucky lefty, you can blame Harry. Set up suited arsenal to go down the guts but playing 2 up front after half time put them under pressure.

Two things from game. **** of the year to Nasi for refusing to shake Gallas hand cause he told him many years ago to get out of thierry henri's seat on a bus. (not like he shagged his best mates missus!)

And what the f was Fabergas thinking in that wall - he threw the other blokes arm up!

If Arsenal can't defend against two strikers up front then they're in deeper shit than is comprehensible. Especially when one of the strikers is as useless as Jermain Defoe. Not even sure who the other one was as Pavlyuchenko was plying that friggin' deep he may as well have been a defensive midfielder.

Friggin' useless.

And for the record, from all the stories I've heard about Gallas I'd punch him in the head before shaking his hand. How much truth is in them I'm not sure but just stories I've read and heard.

For those that are interested:
My mother-in-laws 3yr fillie Posh Chic has had 2 trials recently, one at Randwick fri 12th (won) and yesterday at Rosehill (2nd).
She is nominated for the Mgic Millions 3yr stakes a $100k race.
She is absolutely flying and will take a beating depending on barrier draw of course.

Goodo. I'll get on that.

Got a lazy $5 on the Bulls to beat the Lakers, tips off in about 35 minutes time. It'll never happen but for the odds being paid I had to have a litte money on it.

[Captain Nemo]

Keep it in your diary, she is flying at trackwork!

[LeftyHoges]

Keep it in your diary, she is flying at trackwork!

So thats this Saturday, Race 8 @ Randwick?

[Captain Nemo]

No, she's out of that one, sunday the 5th at Wyong
I think acceptances for that was today, it will prob be updated tomorrow.
This race is open sex, and she's not weighted well against the males.
Ths Wyong race is just 3yr set weights for colts and fillies so she goes in 2kg better.

[grandmasterb]

Keep it in your diary, she is flying at trackwork!

Give us a heads up when she's running and what race.

[oscar]

Anyone having a look tomorrow? Might need something if it rains at the cricket.....

Going by that race yesterday she was going to be in, her chances now look extremely good.
She needs to draw a barrier from inside 6.

FWIW:
She drew a barrier and has minimal weight!

There is such a thing? Bunch of thieving midgets.

Can't get any betting sites at work, who did you get to ride?

[Captain Nemo]

C.Brown
Tim Clarke rode her for her 2 wins, but i rate Corey better!
Fingers crossed.

All the best, one of life's really good days seeing your horse salute

[WBennett]

Posh Chic is up against my mates horse Capital Commander. Nick Olive has won the last three Canberra Premierships, placed at Group 1 with Zenarta, and reckons this one is ok. I beleive he's a brother to Voice Commander who has proven to be useful over his career...

[WBennett]

As an aside, what is the best site to set up your black bookers?

I've missed a couple of times when Izababe went on a country carnival spree earlier this spring and want to know when its coming back in the city (hopefully at long odds)

[Captain Nemo]

Sportingbet have an option where you can do that, on their new site?
I like her chances, her 2 trials have been outstanding and she has won on this track and distance!

[Captain Nemo]

She's in from $30's to $13, ive had a good go at $14 on S.B, might have a little more at the track!;)

[LeftyHoges]

Good luck Posh Chic! Seems like the jockeys not the only one thats gonna be riding you home!

[AndyP]

I don't even know what odds I got it on.




They will not force Tapatalk. They will stop degrading Tapatalk. They will not control Tapatalk. Tapatalk will be victorious.

[AndyP]

I just checked the results. The odds don't matter, the return is $0.


They will not force Tapatalk. They will stop degrading Tapatalk. They will not control Tapatalk. Tapatalk will be victorious.

[LeftyHoges]

Ran 4th. Died in the arse over the last 200m. Got railed up against the fence and probably had to slog through the crap for the whole race.

Not a bad run, maybe just missing some race form.

[Captain Nemo]

Lefty, exactly what happened.
Corey said she jumped well and was travelling easy.
Instructions where to let her jump and run, but not to lead.
He got stuck with the fav outside of her, Schofield didnt go forward or back and Corey didnt want to be on the rails which was the worst part of the track by that time of the day.
Connections where very dissappointed, but thats racing. She will be better for the run.

[PerryGroves]

High priced midget gets it in the worst place and against the instructions:roll:, if only I could have had my money on that. Only the ownwers lose, he cashes a cheque and moves on. Best of luck for the next run.

[Captain Nemo]

PG, i thought he rode her well, but yes he should have known to be off the rails, but barrier 2 didnt help, had it been a good track....

[LeftyHoges]

PG, i thought he rode her well, but yes he should have known to be off the rails, but barrier 2 didnt help, had it been a good track....

I kept waiting and hoping for her to push out knowing that on the dead track its bloody hard to win on the rails. Wouldve been nice to hold on for third as I had money each way but you can't win em all.

Truth be told im actually up $700 for the weekend so i definitely can't complain!

[WBennett]

THe most impressive run of the weekend was Kurata Queen in the 2 year old race beforehand.

Blew them away.... Bring on the magic millions 2yo's, and if still up for it, the Golden Slipper.

[Captain Nemo]

POSH CHIC Update:
This is from the stable:
Kevin reports that Poshy is great, having come through her first up run and she will now race at Randwick on the 26th in the 3yo Benchmark 75 over 1200m.
She will improve again here and the fillies work has continued to be strong at home.
Without yet seeing the fields we expect her to be a competitive chance and as a bonus Racing NSW have also announced that the Boxing Day meeting will now carry Saturday levels of prizemoney.
I'll keep you updated.
Titty!

[Captain Nemo]

To follow that my dads (and m-i-l's) horse Angel's Decree will be running soon
Kevin put in a nomination for Gosford next week on 28th December over 1100m but has since elected not to accept here with the mare. Reasons being that ideally we want to give her a second trial 30th December at Randwick but if she was to get balloted out again, the plan will be to then run 1/1 Kembla Class 1 1200m instead of a second trial. As more is known we will keep you updated, she is flying in trackwork.:mrgreen:

[Captain Nemo]

POSH CHIC, has accepted for Canterbury on Wednesday December 29 2010.
Race 6 - 04.20

[timah!]

Is she still racing on the 26th?


I supergoaled Tapatalk.

[Captain Nemo]

No mate, 28th, easier race!:mrgreen:
You selling me that shaft!:-k

[Captain Nemo]

Posh Chic Update:
This is from the stable:

The filly arrived at the Gold Coast just before 11:00pm last night. At the moment she appears to have travelled well. She stepped off the float without issue. She had not had any issues in transit. Her temperature was normal and she started to eat soon after settling in and ate all her feed overnight.
This morning she was bright and her temperature was still normal. She walked as exercise and was happy within herself.
Our biggest concern now is the next 12 - 24 hours to ensure she does not come down with any virus after the trip or travel sickness which will stop her from racing. This can't be predicted and is simply a case of waiting and monitoring.

She is in the 2nd race MAGIC MILLIONS F&M HANDICAP , and 3rd emergency for the MAGIC MILL GUINEAS (doubtful she will get a start)
She will be a good e/w bet and i think will run a place.

[PeteyD]

Which race and when is that for us dumbasses?

[Captain Nemo]

Sorry my bad:
Gold Coast Race 2 no.10 currently $6 Fixed with most agency's.

This is what makes gambling on the horses so bloody hard. The average punter has no idea about what a horse has been through on the trip, how well its preparation has gone after arriving, anything like that. In a lot of ways it really is a mugs game.

In saying that, i'll still be having a punt on her.

How did she go in the run between chrissy and new year titleist?
(spent most of thst time drunk myself so completely forgot to check her out)

[Captain Nemo]

She ran a super 2nd on Boxing day!
Had Berry (apprentice) on board, sat 2nd the trip on the rails and he took off 50m too early, only got beat 1/2 hd to Havatryst which ran 3rd on sat at Randwick.

At my work we have a retrospectve betting facility available for economists, strategists and equity fund managers. They come around to get paid on their ticket and we dump shit on them from a great height. Not havin' a go Lefty it's just I work with some magnificent 20/20 hindsighters. :wink:

All good PG! ;) the only thing I can actually say to back up my argument is that I've actually had $50 each way on her every time Titleist has told us she's racing. Figures that the time she pays out is the one time I'm not on her! :evil:

[MegaWatty]

On PC at $6 fixed in our little syndicate.

On at $6.6 on Betfair on my lonesome.

[MegaWatty]

Another 2nd. I had the place in the syndicate. Lucky!

[PerryGroves]

One of the old boys down the club gets some good mail at a price. Syd R7 No. 14. EW

[LeftyHoges]

Had PC for place only so very happy. Made a decent profit to have a few more bets with...

[Captain Nemo]

Me too took Fixed Place $2.80 had a good go on it so might be doing some ho'ing soon.
Super run considering she was up against it.
She actually had a blood irregularity as well as stepping up in distance.
Nash rode her well, even though the mother-in-law didnt want him on her.
Had he not drifted so wide at the turn she may have been a little more competitive.
Very intresting that both the 2 that one the big races at Wyong the day i went up there (Torios Quest which beat Poshy, and Karuta Queen) won both races at the Goldy!

[Captain Nemo]

Poshy has come back down from the Goldy, pulled up very well, will be going to the paddock for 2 weeks rest then looking at some black type races in Sydney.

[BroKar]

Just got a call from a mate of mine, usually pretty sharp.

Strong tip for Sydney Race 1 2 DIAMOND TO PEGASUS.

Very good odds at the moment, ran good time at first start for a 2yo and should lead quite easilly.

[WBennett]

It would want to be good to beat Godspeed

[Captain Nemo]

Mate she went out for a 2 week spell after her Goldy run.
Back at Randwick as we speak.
My 2yr old is at Moses' stables as well, should be trialing soon.

More like $60+ fixed.

[Eag's]

I see you have Tommy Berry booked for the ride, very good young rider :smt023

[Captain Nemo]

Yep, he rode her when she ran 2nd on Boxing Day, he goes good!
Henno, where'd you see $60?

[henno]

Henno, where'd you see $60?

Betfair and centrebet.

[Captain Nemo]

Thank you, i'm all over it!

[henno]

I threw in a fiver for the hell of it, because I'd rather lose five bucks than be annoyed I didn't get on it.

[Captain Nemo]

As a side note, I was speaking to the m-i-l last night, there is a 2yo Dynamic horse called Chew The Fat (i think D.Payne has it) that won a trail by miles recently, ran 3rd at Randwick yesterday and has been backed to win the slipper from $151 inot $71, JAT!

[Captain Nemo]

Nice p/u!

[Eag's]

wow!! :shock:

[WBennett]

I was coming home from work today, and remembered the bloke I played with on the weekend's horse was running at Gosford today. He said PrinceoftheDesert would go alright. Won, and paid $3 on ACTTAB. Stupid me!

[WBennett]

Posh Chic would want to be good to beat Parables tomorrow. More Strawberries (If I remember correctly) out is a bonus though.

This one won today. Race 2 at Randwick.

Paid 36's on NSW and UniTAB and 46 on SuperTAB. God damn... ](*,)

[WBennett]

Went out to Queanbeyan races today. A mate had his running in the first after a 9 month spell after injury. He wasn't overly keen on it, but a few of the boys put a bit on at the 8's with the bookies.

My mate put $50ew on the TAB.

Zindarella blitzed them and won by enough. And paid $30 on NSW TAB! LEts say after race 1, there were a couple of boys well over a grand up. Nice way to start the day!

[Captain Nemo]

Dissapointing run by Poshy, she ran 7th i think, race not run to suit.
She jumped out first but couldnt get cover and she deosnt like to lead.
She ended up leading till the straight!
Kevin said she was 2 weeks short of peak fitness.
Will be better for the run!:smt022

[kpac]

Had a bloody tough field tit. It was alway going to be a long shot. 7th pretty ordinary, but in that group top half of the field would have been a realistic goal - was never going to finish in the coin. If it can take something out of the run, find a better field next time out.

[Captain Nemo]

Yeh, agree.
They will be targeting some easier races fior her, and going back to 1100m.

[Webster]

She had every chance but was outclassed. Nothing wrong with that, they can't all be superstars. Drop her back in class for a "kill" to get her confidence back.

[Captain Nemo]

Jack, thats the plan.
FWIW, she is a Dynamic Syndications horse and Dean Watts (the Syndicator) is really unpopular with the owners atm!:evil:
I will leave it at that, dont want to get into trouble!
In my experience i would stay right away from Dynamic!:roll:

[Webster]

titleist, I was going to ask you about DS - they attract a lot of bad press for the way they set the syndicates up, ie the horse cost them $50k, they syndicate it saying it cost $125k and then pocket the change.

In my experience with horse ownership, you want to form your own syndicates which include a couple of people who have direct access to the trainer at all times, ie no middle man involved. So far its been a very pleasurable experience.

[BroKar]

In a previous life I used to place horses and also frame markets for one of the biggest bookmakers in australia on Sydney Racing and I have to say the issue is not distance based on sectional times, she will run 1200 easilly ridden correctly, she just isn't a group horse yet, she could have sat 1 length off the lead and sprinted in the straight, I am not saying she would have won that race but based on time and also based on sectional for the day this crop of 3yo fillies will not go onto much outside of restricted company in my opinion except for the first 2 who have considerable improvement left in them.

Brokar, agree.
She deosnt run well out in front, she needed cover and no-one wanted to lead.
I wish they got Nash to ride her (he rode her last start and told Kevin he would do again) but obviously he was down to ride Gais Filly.

[AndyP]

Horses have confidence?

[kpac]

Horses have confidence?

Good horses do. The clever buggers know what a race is about. You only need to pair up a couple of nags on the track in training to understand the different between the racers and runners, some like to run, some like to race, i'd imagine it's common in many animals.

[Captain Nemo]

From my limited knowledge of horse, they are pretty highly strung animals!
Moses compares them to Olympic 100m runners in mindset and temprement.

[Webster]

Andyp, thoroughbred horses are incredibly fickle and real creatures of habit, and a lot smarter than people think. One of the true nuances of the racing gaming is having the horse ready for the big race, and then when things don't go according to plan trying to work out what went wrong (there are always a million excuses when it doesnt go well!).

That said however, the absolute joy you feel as an owner when your horse wins a race, especilly a big race, is impossible to discribe. I will never forget the magic run we had with Benty through 2007 and 2008 when he kept crushing his rivals with topweight doing it the hard way from the front.

Some bad news!
This is an email from Moses Racing:
POSH CHIC Update:

Hi All,

She was disappointing on Saturday on face value and found to be a couple of lengths beneath the required elite grade. Leading into the race Kevin was confident the filly would run super and she did run well but the opposition was better. Her blood picture taken on Tuesday last week showed she was at her peak condition. It was the best she had ever been. On the morning of the race she was picture perfect and free in her action and her temperature was spot on normal.

Tommy Berry told the owners that she went well but they are too good for her at that class but there is a nice race in her if we drop back a grade or two.

She pulled up well after the run and as a post race precaution she was given bute to rebound quickly and get over any muscle fatigue and she ate her feed on Saturday night and walked out free in her action on Sunday morning. She ate her breakfast feed Sunday and no signs of any issue present.

Unfortunately Monday morning we have a major drama.

At 4:00am this morning when they attended the filly, was found not to have eaten Sunday nights feed and presented with a raging temperature spike of 40.1 degrees (normal is 37.8 -38.3) you would not risk a horse doing any exercise with a temperature of only 38.5 degrees so 40.1 is very extreme.

She was not sore in any leg but when they tried to remove her from her box she staggered and was simply too ill to move more than a few strides. Naturally the vets were immediately called. By the time the vets arrived the temperature was still very high but was off a little bit back to 39.9 degrees. They have taken a blood profile which we will get back late today or tomorrow. The vets have given a strong anti-inflammatory and pain relief to get the temperature down quickly and the horse at the moment is far too sick to travel. The vet believes there is possibly a respiratory problem as they detected a rattling sound in her lungs. Once they have the blood culture they will most likely start on a course of penicillin but at this stage it's a monitoring exercise for 24 hours to see how she rebounds. We are hopeful it's a 24 - 48 hour bug and she bounces back quickly but we have to be careful it does not go the other way.

The filly will need to be spelled immediately after this, no matter what the outcome. However we can't send her to the paddock yet as she is too sick at present and we have to determine what we are dealing with before she is removed from the stables.

Sad news mate. Hope all goes well for her. I think we're all a little attached to this horse on Ozgolf. :)

[Eag's]

Bummer that is bad news, hopefully she can recover soon.

[AndyP]

Thanks for the answers, guys. I guess it would be a similar thing with greyhound and cane toad racing.

[Eag's]

You idiot :roll:

I'm not a fan of tips pre race day...I like to fly by the seat of my pants and do the up to minute form 15 mins before race.
I do however like Solar Charged in the oakleigh Plate today. At $12 its a top each way bet.

I actually work to prices and bet the value, but usually know which horses i am working around, with Star Witness out I actually like Set For Fame

[MegaWatty]

Our syndicate has come close to rock bottom several times now. We are slowly diggin ourselves out with a nice Tirfecta to start the day!

[AndyP]

How did the other guys' tips go?

[LeftyHoges]

Didn't even think of it but I should've had $100 on Birmingham to beat Arsenal last night / this morning in the Carling Cup. I just knew that Arsenal would dick up what should have been a dead cert!

Picked a couple of 2nd's and 3rd's but no winners in there....

[BroKar]

not a great day, but you dont win every week.

My main bets of the weekend were Upon on friday night and HallowellBelle so based on backing them heavilly i didnt do too bad from a monetary point of view.

Sorry, forgot to mention Upon. That was a good win, not a great pay but if you put enough on it it would be a good starting point for the weekends betting.

[crops23]

wednesdays best bet Doomben Race 3 number 9 Onarohl good luck and Happy punting

[AndyP]

When are you guys going to start giving us some winning tips. I'm waiting to see some form, before I commit any cash.

[henno]

I agree. Apart from a couple of g69's gems (which I happened to do well on) I don't think we've seen many, if any, winners. And no, that donkey paying less than twos doesn't count. :razz:

[AndyP]

I use Sportingbet and I can't even see what the odds are, but it shows odds for Race 5. I did 'MaxiDiv' whatever that means.

[BroKar]

only bet I had today was Maules Creek, was short, just had 25/25 Prost

[BroKar]

i will only be tipping horses from my blackbook from now on, tried to tip too many last saturday
