One of the best boat races you'll see this year in Sydney there with all the jocks looking around at the jump to make sure the well backed fave had time to get an easy lead. They never saw him again with the second fave who sat off him one of the first beaten finishing last.
Yuck
Yuck
Dodgy or incompetent?
Or both?

Surprised by the blows on Ava Express, been very firm and highly rated by market for a while. Still have it fave or very close to....
Just out of interest, has anyone ever won on a Sunday?

I stan for the Sunshine Coast. Used to be the fairest track in Australia but somehow they stuffed it. Still like betting there though, the track is usually jockey proof and thats what i like cos best horse usually wins

I feel like this but on public holiday mondays. Generally get torched, normally by a shade of unexpected track bias. Could also be the hangovers, that may be something to do with sundays too.
Sunday's and public holiday.mondays are shockers

heard a pro the other day say he loves betting on the Sunshine Coast as it has the most reliable track bias in Australia.

the last few years they have been playing around with the rail and some weeks you will get a horrible rail bias which i dont mind as long as i know its happening. Back in the day it was just fair, you could win from anywhere and even out wide without cover, it was magnificent. Its about 35 years old now so maybe its just falling apart but i still would rather bet there than any other track including Flemington
Personally I find Caulfield to be the most predictable of the Melbourne tracks
Have too many bad memories of awful leader bias at Flemington especially over the major spring days

Danny O’Brien must have been sniffing paint fumes ever since V&D crossed the line at Flemington last year.
he wants to set Russian Camelot for the Epsom derby

never mind, googled him. I remember him now. finished 2nd in the 1800m race at the carnival. I know the quality of the Aussie derbies have gone down the gurgler. Has the English derby regressed as well?

yeah But that’s largely because Aiden has such a monopoly over the staying blood with Galileo that the English have almost given up trying to compete.
Still he wouldn’t get anywhere near the first half of an Epsom derby field.

Really only a 2 start 2yo. Have seen worse prospects so it's hard to mark them against 2yo form if they want a derby trip. Really have no idea where his bottom is at. I mean you can make assumptions but horses improvement can be unpredictable. Might not improve at all!
As hard as picking derby performers before the golden slipper which is what we are playing with at the moment. I'd just take it as he's going well and has improved.

he is an english bred 3yo so will be the same age as the others. The fact that he is English bred might give him a better chance to compete. DOB does like using "special methods" to improve his horses but like Paris i cant see him finishing in the front half

I understand he will be the same age over there but over here he is not. If he runs in an Australian Derby he is 16lb out of what his true weight would be(surely can't win). All we've seen so far is 32month old horse over 1800m. i.e trying to say Criterion would win the derby after his canonbury. I can't even think of other comparisons
All the rest is just assuming off the strength of Australian racing and off pure chances of him making it as part of the population which is low I agree.

Yes - he might have improved over the summer to be the next Sea the Stars and can win the Epsom Derby but I am guessing he hasn't.
The lads would have 20 better Derby prospects than him alone.
