Rough tips and other bets...
-
Would be good to get this thread cranking as we head in to the summer carnival and share any hot tips or inside oil we come across. @Hooroo always has ear to the ground on the local stuff. I'm sure there are a few others too.
I probably have a wee punt most days, mainly on Aus races and saturdays I will have a good look at what is going on over there and try hit two or 3 of the meets. Usually Randwick or Rosehill and Caulfield or Flem plus maybe Mophetville or Doombden if there are runners there I like. Not usually a whole lot of focus for me on NZ as our tracks aren't so great (vs NZ) but hey winners are winners and some of our horses are bloody good.

Having said that re NZ tracks.....decent meet coming this saturday at Hastings.
Picking gingernuts to go back to back in the group 1s and win the livamol classic. Not seen any odds but expecting around $3 so not a lot of value.
Opie is also riding gingernuts brother Griffin in another race there. Tough race though with the likes of Bostonian involved.
Also at this meeting in race 7 is a prick of horse that has burnt me every time so far. Secret Squirrel. Has some wheels but never quite wins with a record of 2nd, 2nd, 2nd and 3rd from its 4 starts. Pretty sure its been fav (or very close to it) every time!
Another call out for @hooroo as Galaxy Miss is running in race 9........
-
@jk Nominated for Te Rapa too. Will be track dependant.
We now have 8 in work and had a first start winner at Taupo two weeks ago, Ricky Baker. He will hopefully be running this weekend too, Nominated at both Hastings and Te Rapa.
We have some nice fillies in work and also Tattyboglar back in action (Bred by full brother of Black Caviar, Moshe)
One of the fillies is a half sister to Peaky Blinders which we will race as a 'syndcate' of people as there has been plenty of interest. (If people I know on here are keen, send me a PM by friday and I will give you details)

Mates horse is running at Te Rapa today race 6. Hes reckons it needs further but at $20 to win and $6 place I'm having a crack.
Also, Lady Aurelia should win the Breeders Turf Sprint in the states sunday morning. Its short but could be a good win multi with gingernuts for about $4 return

@jk what's the damn name of the horse in Race 6? I searched "JK's Mate's Horse" but nothing came up
My guess from the odds he quoted is that it's either Bombard or Contessa Vanessa (if it's shortened since his quote).
-
@smudge I looked soon after he posted and Oriental Dragon was $20/$7.50...so looks like a fantastic tip

Your $500 each way must have crashed the odds in.

Some good feedback after Campari's run the other day.
Will be one to follow

So we have The Everest this weekend.
I have a fair bit of She Will Reign at $9 and $8.50 from back in March and May. Has come back from the spell well with a couple of nice trials and then a great win at moonee valley 10 days back. In to $4.60 now and favourite now so pretty happy with the bets I have on.
Will be interesting to see the draw once done but I think Deploy is a really big danger. The horse is a beast and the conditions may favour if rain comes as forecast.
Others to watch are Red Kirk Warrior and Vega Magic. Really not sure about Chautaqua. Hasnt looked great of late

Winx is $1:25 to win Cox Plate. That's a multi money print if other legs successful. I ended a reasonable two legged multi on her at $1:18 for Saturdays race which she blitzed.
She truly is a magical horse. Every time she racies I plan my day around making sure I get to see her live.
