Pretty easy first 4 in hindsight the great game

chucked this on last night first time ever betting on races just to have a bit of a squiz before putting some real coin on today but why did i lose when i won lol shits a rort

No Third dividend on the no2, would have been a small field I’m guessing. Happens in dogs a bit

 

[Jugada]

Yeah I got that just seems like a dogs act when they could half the odds or something like they do on anything else that voids

Nah its not a void situation. You're typically getting a bigger price when there are only two place divs given and its just a case of knowing what you are betting on

Like Pappalino E/W in the next but worried about the dry track. Still having a nibble but not overly confident.

Yeah dry track a huge issue, he wants it wet

Agree. According to Archie on his website he is not as worried about us cause it is earlier rather than later in the day.

I like the horse so can’t let it go round with nothing on it E/W at 14-1.

For those following, Incentivise did a fart at 10:04:33am which turned into a poo at 10:04:39am. Standing along with eating either side of that so far. Will report back in when updates come through

First bet

Best of Days EW

Solid start to the day if Lord wins..

 

[Bostonian]

Nothing making any ground out wide if off the pace.

 

[Hawksboy72]

Not much making up ground from the back so far.

Trusting Willow never ends well

 

[year of the cat]

Time to jump off Skyman. Thing has cost me a bomb following the last 3 starts.

 

[Neale4brownlow]

What a ripper day, I’ve had 2 beers, egg and bacon roll and backed a winner..
It’s only a matter of time before it goes downhill

Having an early win is almost certainly the worst thing for your wallet on race day.

All rational thinking out the window.

 

[cruskits]

Ummm…. Is the rail a little hot at the moment??

 

[iluvparis]

Bit of on pace rails bias developing?

 

[Chism]

Certainly looks like leader bias is strong so far. Need to be up on pace to win as nothing is making ground from the 2nd half of the field.

 

[cruskits]

If I could just get my head around Delphi being 100% I would put another bet on him if rails are advantageous.

 

[Underarm]

This seems like a dumb question but does the sports bet promo have a minimum participant condition?

Not going to ride on speed anyways they said

Stiff, Incent probably wins by 10 now

 

[Chism]

Looking for value with on pace runners drawn in I am liking Fender in the next E\W at 21-1. NSW form has been solid all carnival and I hope it continues here with Fender.

3rd placing in the Ramornie reads well for this.

Nope. Next at randwick is a free hit
