@JK they have started the try-scoring one like they did in the RWC again too (may have been doing it, but today is first time I saw it)
Bet of $30 or more for anyone to score a try, and get $5 BB for every try scored in match...although this week unsure any will be try-fests.

Yeah saw that. I always play the NBA first buckets bonus bet one. Yesterday got a $28 bonus bet which I turned in to just under $600. The fav lost tho so didnt get my $20 stake back. Was smashing the womens cricket supersixes one too. Free bonus bets even if they were only hitting 2 to 4 sixes a game.

my six bonus bets from saturday have dwindled to 2, as my country roughies just haven't come good for me...
For saturday i have early bets on Loving Gabby and Harlem, as i expect both to be in with a good chance, and both to come in
I also have a futures bet i had forgotten about with Melody Bell on the All Star Mile for $9

Some Do back at Alex Park tomorrow night in R2. Listed Sires Stakes race for mares. She's capable enough and has drawn inside the hot favourite, so hopefully we actually see some gate speed tomorrow night or at least lands reasonably handy. My good mate is in town so we'll watch together, but we've never watched a winning effort from one of our horses together (in a tote race at least) so that is overdue to change.

@Smudge haha i love "I'm due!"

We've only watched a race together maybe 10 times out of all of our horses' combined starts of about 80 starts over the last 15 years, so we haven't given ourselves a huge chance...

@Smudge Is it just me or has Some Do had a bit of a rough deal with wide draws in recent times?
Yes and no. The last couple of races have been under Preferential Barrier Draw conditions, which means the higher-rated runners are given the worst draws. It's another form of handicapping.
But yeah, she hasn't had a lot of love on the draw front outside of that.

Debacle.
Bostonian at $10s is the only reason it's not the worst day ever
-
Looking back at the day so far and...
32 runners on the short list
12 winners - best Bostonian, sangria, fifty stars
11 places (but not all runners backed to place)
3 trifectasMissed a 4 leg multi on nonpaer at morphetville meaning it’s was a non payer
8 out of 9 on my place multi and fingers crossed for the last -
The guaranteed Empire 6 jackpot today (Sunday) is a million dollars. Were these robbers a day early? Did they know the cash for the jackpot was being delivered?? I see movie possibilities. Love this New York Post headline.
Armed gunmen swipe ‘a lot of money’ in Aqueduct Racetrack heist
Two guys cleaned up big at Aqueduct Saturday night — robbing the Queens racetrack at gunpoint and making off with as much as a quarter-million dollars.
The brazen bandits, who were being sought Sunday morning, pulled the heist at around 10 p.m. Saturday, some four hours after the tenth and last race of the day, swiping “a lot of money,” according to an Aqueduct employee.

And how’s this for opportunism, using a Covid-19 panic for cover:
“A police spokeswoman told The Post that the two robbers wore surgical masks and that the robbery occurred at the racetrack, not at the adjacent Resorts World Casino, which was open at the time.“

@Salacious-Crumb When I first left school (in the days when everyone used cash), I worked for a bank in Christchurch.
After Show Weekend, we got the takes from both Riccarton and Addington (possibly two days at each). The Head Teller told me there was a million dollars on the table and it certainly looked that way. I always thought that if I was going to do a heist that would be my target.

I really hope USA racing cleans up this crap. It’s done state-by-state, but should have ripple effects. Some big name heads could roll...
NBC News: Federal prosecutors and the FBI in New York to hold a press conference at 11am today to announce charges against 27 people in the professional horse racing industry (including vets and trainers) in a scheme to allegedly illegally dope racehorses.
I’ll be watching the presser live later this hour...

Melody Bell draws gate 5 for the All Star Mile, and m4l's futures bet at $9 looks okay.
Alligator Blood draws wide, but who cares because he was heading for the front anyway.
