Rough tips and other bets...

JK

Yeah saw extravagant in there and even for a fairly uneducated punter like me, I know its a good horse.
 
Dont think a lot of rain is forecast unfortunately...

Hooroo

I think that is good as Barnaby looks better at the track when the footing is firmer.

Hooroo

I think he will run his quickest 1200 on a good track so the winning time will be quite tidy, I imagine

JK

Oh I read that wrongly from your previous (read as if he does better on a slow track).
 
Think quietly excited about this one

Hooroo

Spoke to a couple of trainers at Ellerslie and they said just get a filly near extravagant on the way to the barriers and he goes all stupid and colty. Same as his brother (He's Remarkable). In fact they used to put a barrier blanet with gelding poo and wees all over it to help mask any other smells. Didn't really work apparently

Jeez some big odds in this race, Barnaby at 2nd fave on $12.20 to win and Xtravagant very short odds and paying more to place than win!

Hooroo

Yeah. I'm as nervous as a piece of cheese in a mouse factory. 
Hank Marvin running on Wednesday. Race will be for experience purposes only as its a bit short we think. Then he and Park Lane will be off to Hawkes Bay in two weeks. Galaxy Miss heading to Rotorua and then Trentham.

I already got him at $26 for the win and $5 for the place

Hooroo

Just awful. Proof that you should never do three sprints in a row. He looked awful in parade ring too. Has dropped off in weight. He will spell now to ready himself for spring prep.

Smudge

His galloping action looked a bit odd at times, and I thought he didn't have all the luck with space on the turn. They've gone a track record (apparently) and he wasn't a mile away so don't get too disheartened!

Hooroo

He throws a leg (whole family does Dom Dimingo, Pasta Post etc) needed to be freshened that's for sure. Into paddock now for Spring Racing. He's a good horse

JK

Had a fair few bucks on Barnaby as odds so lucrative but still ended up about $60 up for the weekend thanks to the Storm, Cowboys, Blues and Eels. Like to bet on Sharks and Broncos too but since they were playing each other I didnt want a bar of it. Still apprehensive re putting $ on the blues. They were paying $1.35 at kickoff which isnt worth the risk but at 8 nil I think it got out to $1.65 which was a better return so jumped in then.

Hooroo

Hank Marvin is having his first start on Wednesday at Matamata. This is not a tip, just a heads-up. I expect it will be a bit too short but will be keen to see how he goes.

she had another win today, my account got a nice little top up.

JK

I had a TAB reminder come through that she was racing but never got round to putting the bet on.
 
Good odds?

taniwharugby

Was $3.60 for the win I think

JK

I see Galaxy Miss is running at Rotorua tommorow. Whats the downlow Hooroo?

Hooroo

SHe is the 5th ballot in races 7&8 and waiting on scratchings. Weather is turning for the worst whihc will help her make the feild and increase her chances.
 
She is paying $40 and $10 for the stakes races on fixed odds. Wirth a bet as if she doesn't make feild, you get money back

JK

long fixed odds! We like
