I tried this a few years back, but time got the better of me. Now, I'm 'officially' retired (at least from the Telecoms day job of some 45 years) as of end last Friday. I'm thinking I may have enough time to at least get into the depths of winter with this ( a camper van trip to Portugal is on...

It will be great to see what you've done, Dylan. Welcome.

I couldn't get any of the feeds working either. For future ref, WH worked (without even needing a bet).

Here will be as good as anywhere for this one... Trav Flemington 2.20 (our time) 40-1 (might find bigger if shopping around) Up to about 10 days ago, connections were still hoping to get into the final big race Cup line-up. Ran in the same Group 2 as Onesmooth and Athabascan, needed a...

First race is at 11.45 our time tonight. Don't think it'll be necessary given the seeming confidence of reports, but anyone wanting to see ground for their own eyes can (very likely) watch it on the free channel(s) above.

Plenty of rain there reportedly, several suggestions around that it'll at least be bordering heavy, possibly proper heavy. That throws in lots more question marks. Doesn't need to be said, ofc, but it'll need even more of a proper stayer (assuming they don't dawdle). Absurde does look like...

I forgot to say...Athabascan is an Almanzor. Circle of Fire was beaten less than 3 lengths last year for his dad. Fill your boots (EW, ofc).

Pretty sure I watched the Group Two last week for free here... Live Vision | RACING.COM - Where Racing Lives It was at Moonee, so you'd have to test it out with a Melbourne race to be sure. But also remember it could get flooded with requests on the day. + I'd be surprised if BF won't let you...

Clearly, the market leaders here - including the likes of Al Riffa - have great chances of winning. But, as is my typical wont, I want something at juicy enough odds. And one that arguably fits the bill is Athabascan. Seems he gets a definite run with 8-2. You could argue there's a picture...

I'm beginning to fear we'll never get a c--t O'Meara one right again :-( Maybe Theory tomorrow will be the one, all be it at a lowish price. I'm just a bit worried the ground isn't as deep as the going report suggests.

Akkadian in to 11s with WH, was 16 about an hour ago. Bit bigger with the others. It may well be Theory's day in the sun in the 3.50 Sat. Finally gets proper deep ground, and the man himself will likely be wringing his hands with glee. Only 10s though, but that's not a surprise. The double...

Yeah that did cross my mind. Only a 5YO, could easily have another 2-3 years picking up 'planned' big prize handicaps.

At one point earlier in the season, his comments around Akkadian suggested he thought he might be at the top of the bunch. Looks to me like he couldn't collect on the obvious main season targets - which would have been a disappointment. If that's a correct interpretation of what happened, it...

Would you believe it. I took bits of 510, 520, 530 about 10 mins before the race. That was a wondrous last 100 yards! Biggest ever BF winner, the last was 2-3 years ago at around 430. They're rare.

Thx Danny Yeah I should have looked at the other thread. That'll do for me!

I think Vadream might have enough to go well in the Flying Five, and suspect this will be a season plan. 50-1 generally. Just over 70 on the exchange in the last few mins, but obviously could be well enough into the 100s by race time. Will need it soft in this field. Not sure it is soft...

Treasure Time still 10s with WH this morning. Tom M down to ride.

Seagolazo 2.10 Ascot 25-1 Hills and 365 HP tries again, 10 points for perseverance. He had (plausible) excuses for the last run. 25s seems daft enough in a 6-runner race where there are debatable question marks over the (current) favorite. If that excuse has legs (words to the effect of...
