The Spring Racing Thread

[andrew057]

Most of the nice types are back and that means its Spring.

Looking forward to one of Barts returning today at Rosehill in Griffon. He should be around 4/1. In the Group 2 Sebring Sprint I like More Joyous who was very impressive first up to beat Rothesay. Also Trim had a nice run the other week and should go close.

At Moonee Valley, Reward For Effort and Hay List looks like a great matchup, Im leaning towards RFE. In the Dato Tan I really want to back Typhoon Tracey, but think Shoot Out will beta her this time.

Gee how good were Hay list and More Joyous???? Whobe was pretty good too. Had a good day on the punt for a change, my horse to follow from the day is Sussuro. Outstanding win in the 3 yr old Fillies race, definately one to follow.

She's definately looking for longer, came home ok but never looked like winning.

Surely the VRC will move Turnbull Stakes day to the Sunday now.

Won't they?

 

[hineyrulz]

Why should have the VRC have to change because the AFL are to geniused to have extra time????

 

[lockyno1]

Turnbull Stakes has been "unofficially" moved to Sunday, will be confirmed at a press conference tomorrow.

What a frigging joke, one of the best racing days of the year has been ruined because some fumbling spastic couldn't kick one more behind :x

 

[lockyno1]

Ruined? How..it is on 24 hours later. No big deal. Yes it is a shame, but you would be insane to go head to head against the AFL Grand Final. You would lose by a LONG margin. I feel for you punters but the day will be on the next day.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

CBD will be chaos next weekend.

The cycling world champs start at Fed Square... the women's race kicks off at 1pm on Sat.

 

[Snoop Shark]

anyways get on firebolt for the epsom and herculian prince for the caulfield...if u want some value to a multi of both races and you can thank uncle snoop later!!!

From a $70 outlay the return is just under 12k

I feel for you punters??? So you don't even have a bet but you feel like you can comment on this situation???? Mate Epsom-Turnbull stakes days is one of the great racing days of the year. Ruined because Vlad and his cronies are stuck in the 19th century. Betting turn over will be down massively because of this, why does everyone bend over for the AFL???? Arrogant self serving wankers.

I do have a punt actually. Am I disappointed the Stakes has been delayed, yes. However, at the same time you would be insane to go against the AFL, the crowds would be down, the ratings would be a shocker. The AFL still has draws and frankly I agree, if two teams are tied at the end of full time, then a draw is a fair result.

No-one forced the VRC to move the meet.

 

[hineyrulz]

Nah f**k Vlad and the AFL.

 

[Nuffs]

SR 4 No 1 - Buffering
SR 8 No 18 - Bay Window (very rough chance)
SR 10 No 10 - Shannara

MR 5 No 3 - No Evidence Needed
MR 7 No 16 - Descarado

should be a couple of winners in there

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Black Caviar brained them first up today... can't wait for her and Haylist to clash in the coming weeks.

Agreed, her and Haylist will be as good as So you think and More Joyous.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

More Joyous is good, but I think SYT will kill it over 2000.

Wanna have a bet on the Caufield Cup tomorrow. But I dare say the wet track will play a big roll. Any time on some nags that go alright in the wet?

 

[andrew057]

Herculian Prince in the Cup and Soul in the 1100m race, not sure what its called.
