The Spring Challenge Wrap - Derby Day, Melbourne Cup and Oaks Day
Things have tightened up at the top, with 4 points separating first from 4th. With the final 2 group 1’s this weekend, picking 2 winners looks like the only way to win, although a first and a second for dj would seemingly tie up a win.
Can the Hussler do the business from barrier 13 and […]

The Spring Challenge - Caulfield Cup wrap
All the drama of racing on Saturday. I wonder if Mark Kavanagh is a believer in cosmic justice. As it was, only 1 tipster picked a scratched horse and no one troubled the scorers. It seems that no one could believe that a horse that was winning a Class 1 a year earlier could win […]

The Spring Challenge - Thousand Guineas wrap
Due to the tardiness of the Mug, a couple of tipsters missed out on the Thousand Guineas. Tough!!! The Mug was invested in Extension of Time and was almost yelling at the office computer with 100 to go. Still, a place bonus point at $5.20
Get on to the Caulfield Cup now. And don’t forget the […]

In fact, there was quite some symmetry in the picks, with everyone taking the Madonna and only the late entry noodle taking Maldivian.

Backing for 4th or 5th
I’d like to see some agency come out and offer an option to back for 4th or 5th as a staight out bet. We could all then back Murtajill every time it ran!! Has there ever been a horse that has run 4th or 5th so many times in a row. I make it the […]
