February - Daily Punt

[RobbyRoy]

Disastrous day for me so far. Twirl and Scratchy Bottom

 

[Main Man]

Shamexpress will salute in the Newmarket. By a fair margin.

I think Shamexpress is likely to be poorly in at the weights.

Haussmann back up to his favorite distance. Paying $14 on Sportsbet.
If he's within a couple of lengths at the 300, he'll run over the top of these

Nice e/w bet to get out of jail

Probably my only chance of salvaging something from this day.

Probably my only chance of salvaging something from this day.

He was stiff.......just couldn't get in better than 3 wide the whole race
Winner waaaay too good though

 

[Davedinkum]

got 11,12 in the last leg of the quaddie not very confident

 

[HurlsMeister18]

Blerghh didn't even give us a sweat

The hip and shoulder she copped about 150 metres in didn't help and shuffled her back 2 far. I thought it was a pretty good run.

 

[PureFooty]

I thought Rodd was in for a huge autumn but geez he's ridden poor last few days.

 

[rideclutch]

Specced Nevis, decided not to bother with Foundry.

I think Shamexpress is likely to be poorly in at the weights.

I'd say so too. Probably the top weight but Snitzerland will cop a bit on today's win, doesn't run as well later in the prep and is over the extra 200m. Shamexpress had the rest of them pretty easily today, generally gets better after a run or two & rathers the 1200m.

 

[Aussie Assault]

I ended up $3 down from today's outlay. I'll take that.

[iluvparis]

Nitpicking but personally I don't think horses that run a place paying <$2.00 should be highlighted green.

 

[rideclutch]

When I bet EW it's usually 1 win/3 place, so I would've done alright on your selections today Falcons!

Shocking ride on Full Bore, real amateur hour stuff - can count yourself unlucky not to add him too

 

[PureFooty]

Worst ride of the day?

[rideclutch]

What was it that you didn't like?

 

[PureFooty]

What was it that you didn't like?

Should've sat 3 wide, instead tried to get the horse going, then slow it down, then get it going again, got locked in a speed battle, horse much better suited to not losing momentum, then around bend didn't even have control of the horse, probably fortunate to stay on the horse.

 

[Ricketts]

Wasn't a bad run by Scratchy Bottom

Was never a chance way race was run.

It finished off very well

I agree. Wasn't bad considering.

1400m first up, 1400m again on Saturday. Looking for further now?

Do Sebring's go past sprint distances?

 

[yaco55]

Think you will find that Twirl is outside Gai's best 5 two year olds. Tommy Berry wins another group one in Hong Kong. John Moore is desperate to have Berry as his stable jockey,and I suggest that its a matter of time before he moves. The conditions where you ride 8 times a month for 9 1/2 mths, attractive living conditions and the money is too good to refuse.

 

[HurlsMeister18]

What a run from PADRE PIO to set a course record at Grafton.

I see favouritism in the Blue Diamond has reversed with Rubick now outright from Earthquake

 

[Main Man]

I see favouritism in the Blue Diamond has reversed with Rubick now outright from Earthquake

Rubick drew perfect in 10, Eathquake has drawn 15 and whilst it's not as bigger issue as it might be at other tracks it certainly makes her task harder.

I will post my thoughts on Friday but I like the colt.

 

[RobbyRoy]

Look forward to your thoughts Main Man.

Personally I think Rubick deserves clear favouritism at this point. Wide barrier isn't a huge setback for Earthquake with the one-turn Caufield track, but 10 is excellent for Rubick and will allow him to run the race he needs to win. Of others, I like Jabali and Chivalry from inside gates.

 

[yaco55]

I am yet to be convinced that Rubick can run out a strong 1200m, and its incredibly difficult for Earthquake from 15. It's a wide open race.
