Saturday 22 March - Coolmore and Ravet Day

Hey All

This game is one that will put you back in your place very quickly and unfortunately that's what happened last night.  My first wipe out under the new system -50 units and now -31 units for the year.

Worst part is it shouldn't have been - if I stuck to my original work I would've found 2 winners but I didn't and paid the price.  I don't want to make excuses but the track was awful last night and leaders had no chance - most unusual for Moonee Valley.

Oh well, life goes on and I'll get a result if I keep trying - just look at Spirit of Boom - last night was his 15th go in a Group 1 race and he finally cracked it.  Congrats to all involved

Today's racing - classics at Rosehill in the Coolmore, Ranvet+ Slipper leadups  and a solid Sandown Lakeside meeting - my first there under this system

3 double up races today, here's 2 of them

Rosehill 3

2yo colts and geldings getting ready for the Golden Slipper. There are a few different formlines here and I'm happy to bank on the Blue Diamond being the best one.  This gives us Jabali and Cornrow

Sandown Lakeside 6

Interesting race with not too many chance - I think the best are Pago Rock, great record at the track 2 for 2 and Office Bearer who gets in on the 54 and has good form for this

Good luck to anyone having a bet

Friday 21 March - Group 1 Friday Night

Hey All

Off to the races tonight for the Group 1 William Reid Stakes - hoping to find a few winners in the process.

Still been very slack with updating my results database and I think I'm 5 meetings behind now - hopeless.  On a much brighter note, I had a good day on Saturday with a 32 unit win and am now 19 units in front for the year

Let's hope I keep moving in that direction

2 double up races tonight at Moonee Valley

Race 4

Just back Solicit, looks beautifully placed here stepping up to the 1600m.  I'm surprised she didn't go to a harder race in Sydney.

Race 7

Is an open race but I' pretty confident the winner will come from either - Spirit of Boom, It Is Written or my top pick in Thump.

Good luck to anyone having a bet

Saturday March 15 - Sydney's really heating up

Hey All

Been very slack with updating my results, it's never fun when you're not winning - it will come.

Last Saturday was ordinary with a 20 unit loss, dropping me to minus 38 units for the year.

Turned things around a bit last night though at Moonee Valley - Group 2 race on the night so thought I should have a go and glad I did.  Plus 25 units to bring me back to minus 13 units for the year to date.

Big day of racing today - hoping to wipe that 13 units out and get back in front

Only 2 double up races today as there are 18 races in total.  Here they are

Randwick - Race 1

Best of the day anywhere - Valentia stands out on times and should win this.

Bendigo - Race 6

Standalone meeting and some interesting racing but this race looks like only having the 2 chances - Hazard and Sino Eagle.  Happy to be doubling up here

Good luck to anyone having a bet

Saturday March 8 - Super Saturday

Hey All

Sorry for not getting the results for February up yet, long weekend should give me time to catch up.

Another losing week last week -18 units taking me to -38 units for the year to date.  It's all very frustrating especially when you see how many 2nds and 3rds I've been running.  Such is racing though, things will turn around real soon I'm sure.

Great days racing today with group races in both states - I'll double up on a couple that look like good things

Flemington - Race 4 Number 1 Bonaria

Beat most of these last start and that looks to be the form race for this - beautifully placed again

Rosehill - Race 5 Number 1 It's a Dundeel

Arguably the best horse in the country.  Trialled well for this and is set for a first up win against horses that aren't in the same class.

Good luck if you're having a punt

Saturday March 1 - autumn is here

Hey All

Back on track, well sort of, last week with a 4 unit win - that makes me -20 units for the year. I'll do an updated summary tomorrow now that another month has passed.

Now we're into March the autumn carnival will heat up in Sydney, couple of good weeks left in Melbourne on the way through as well - exciting racing

2 of today's double up races below

Flemington Race 2

Not stars here but clearly looks a race in two - Commanding Time or Saint or Sinner should win it.  Both look very well placed

Rosehill Race 2

Dream Choice is flying and will be hard to beat again but the up and coming Lonace will make a real race of it.  If Lonace doesn't have to work too hard up front it could be very hard to catch.  One of them wins

Good luck if you're having a bet
