Call me stupid but I might have a dollar on Titanic Jack here

I think its too far for Yell. I can't get into the form of a lot of the others

someone tell beautiful gem that she's racing first up, over 1500m at sandown and she'll win by 5

i've almost backed her the last 2 starts but i think it's time to jump on now

and the $6.00 will do me fine, thankyou

I'm a fan of Beautiful Gem. However I'm not so sure she has come up this prep. I also have a rule of following mares when they are in form. She is going to need to run a good one before I can get on...

I think Raid The Royals is a good bet in this.

My numbers -
3 Raid The Royals
10 Zankel
5 Botero
2 Beautiful Gem
12 Peace Ruler

 

[steaming stormer]

I've been waiting for Zankel to run around again after its run Derby Day. might have a go at it here

 

[Tim Brasher]

Two horse race- Raid the Royals and Zankel

 

[Macca_]

Quinella or box exacta the only question hey?

 

[Nuffs]

I'm a fan of Beautiful Gem. However I'm not so sure she has come up this prep. I also have a rule of following mares when they are in form. She is going to need to run a good one before I can get on...

but her form at this distance and at this track is sensational.

she's been racing in unsuitable events - giving jet spur 2kg!!!! and finishing les than 3 behind, and only .5kg off glamour puss!!!!

she's up to the distance that she's more comfortable with and 3rd up should be getting real close near the end

 

[Macca_]

Yep, fair points.

I just like to see mares running well before I back them. Rule I try to stick too...

 

[Nuffs]

you're wrong, dammit!!!!!

it's going to win by 10 :lol:


DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility if it loses.

 

[Moffo]

Yell no chance?

 

[Macca_]

Danm horse! They backed it (Raid the Royals) from $9 into $5.90 over the final 10 minutes. Ran a shocker, the 1500m looked ideal for it. Never getting my cash again the clown!

Parlay, all up, daily double all in the can. Sod it :x

The Jack saved my day!

 

[Macca_]

Nice one Moffo. Forgot about that one back up the top of the thread.

Anyone see the race, I only heard it on the radio... I had Raid the Royals going for a fair bit (parlay, all up and daily double). Was it a sh*t round like it sounded?

 

[Moffo]

yeh petty much mate. It had its chances

 

[Macca_]

Poo horse :lol:

 

[Moffo]

like most horses i back!
