@Hooroo That 16 barrier draw for Polly looks ominous, but looking at the course diagram it’s a straight 800 meters before the first turn so there shouldn’t be too much of a dogfight to get into position there. Bit trickier for Ricky in the 1400, but again, still has 550-or-so metres to find position. Good luck!!

Thanks mate. With the rain we have had overnight, I would expect a few scratchings for her to potentially jump from the 11 barrier.
So long as she runs well as this is her first real test against open class horses. Her last win was against open class but restricted to grey horses. Battletime is no mug though so was good to get past him

Really? $13 for last start winner in openclass (restricted) and having won this distance twice before
Polly Fucking Grey, Brother!

Nah mate small stakes for random shit like that.
There are two bets actually, both have the same 3 legs down and both have roosters to win as 4th leg. They both have different final legs which will discuss IF 4th leg gets up, along with possible hedge options to lock in a return. Oh and both can't win.
One is $50 to $16,037 so ony $321.75 to $1
The other is $25 to $22,095 so $884.81 to $1So the Roosters got up which means my multis are still live. Tense game!
One (the $50 one) has final leg as All Blacks to win world cup. The other ($25) has England to win.
Assuming England beat france and we both win quarters we should meet in the semis and then one progress to final and one live bet. Not sure would have the balls to ride it out so could hedge it with a big bet on the opposition.
I will be taking great interest in most gams from here on in!
I don't bet on much, but the bonus bet opportunity in the ABs vs Canada and Namibia looked too good to turn down.
I've invested the proceeds in insurance bets against two horrendous outcomes - England to win RWC and Canterbury to win the Mitre10 Cup.
Canterbury is quietly acquiring a bunch of ex-ABs for the play-offs!

Big day punting. Looks like their will be a lot of short price favourites that will take some knocking over. Be tough to find some value
-
Great tip. Put some of my free bets on it. Got it at $13. Boom

-
Up the Polly!!!

I ended up getting 7.44 fuck you Sportsbet

@chchfanatic I put 10 ew on it at $13 and $4 and got back $121.14. How does that work
-
Congrats @Hooroo a win for Polly and place for Ricky!
-
@JK how do the deductions work? Is that due to scratchings?

Yeah usually about 10% per each horse.
Wow I am rough today.
I think I shouted most of Matamata as I had $2k in my pocket from multi-ing Ricky into Polly and I only have $50 left and I didn’t have another bet.
Totally worth it as that was a sensational win. I knew she was a chance but I didn’t expect to thump them.
Big article on her in Sunday star times.
Very happy and hung over!

Still feeling a bit dusty.
Her final race for this prep will be the Group 3 Thompson Handicap in Trentham. Then out for a couple of months to come back for a go at the 3 mares races including the Group 1 Breeders Stakes.
Still over the moon on the way she won on Saturday.
