Heading into Benalla today. If anyone likes anything there, any punting advice would be more than welcome. The rain has seen most of my 'homework' go out the window, with 27 horses coming out so far. Its gonna be a tough day at the office.....
With not a lot to do on Good Friday, I was flicking through the footy mag that came with the Sunday Age last week. Thought I'd kill some time and play selector for the AFL's "biggest game in 150 years", Victoria vs Dream Team. Not an easy task, but FWIW, here we go......

Markets are up on who will be the last team to lose. I reckon Brisbane is pretty good value here @ $26... First few rounds are:
1.WCE @ S
2.COLL @ G
3.SYD @ G
4.PA @ AAMI
5. HAW @ G
6.MEL @ G
7.GEEL @ SS
Not an easy run, but gettable and good value @ $26.

1-Starfish
2-Victory Chant
3-Burgeis(1400m will suit)
4-Zarita from Absolut Glam. Not much between them. Picked Zarita to get the better run.
5-Coniston Gem
6-Weekend Hussler. Threw Miss Judgement into multiples
7-Largo Lad
8-Princess Coup
9-Described this as the most open race of the...
Has anyone had a look at the gig guide for '08? Any advice on shows to go to or stay away from would be greatly appreciated....
Having a quick glance at the internationals, I think I'll look at Dave O'Doherty and John Moloney. I have seen Arj Barker and Daniel Kitson and recommend these.
Anyone having/had any success on the tennis? Putting a multi on today...
Roddick
Gasquet
Santoro
Kuznetsova
Grosjean
By my math, that gets you $8.30. The more you put on, the more you get back.....
Does anyone know how Zac is coming along? I didn't see much VFL this year, but saw his name in the best often. Is he ready for '08? Cos really, another tall key position defender is probably the only area of the ground where we're found wanting.
Let Go Thommo must be as close to a cert as you could get in this game?? Can't get keen on anything else on the card and seeing as LTG and Zipping are going to be extremely short, I may just let the phone account rest until next spring. Unless anyone can point me in the direction of a winner...
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anyone can help. Looking for the artist and title of a piece of music. I think it plays during the opening credits of Jackass the movie, and was also the theme for Carlton Draught's "Big Ad" campaign.
Thanks in advance.....
..has any other race thrown up such huge results in recent times??? Tears I Cry today, Valedictum and Sky Cuddle were others. Coincidence?? Or is there something behind it?
Could it be that much of the field are at the end of there campaigns, some thrown in the race as an afterthought?
Is it...
If anyones going to these meetings on the 17th and 18th respectively, I have a few double passes you could use.
If you're happy to PM me with a postal address, I'm happy to get them in the mail this week. Someone may as well get something out of them.
Matty Cosgriff(SEN)'s tips and thoughts for tomorrow...
R1- Spectacular Saint...2nd to Kaphero last start. good form for this
R2- Oh Eight Hundred... Impressive last start. strong run-on
R3- Extend...
R4- Simplest...up to 1400m should suit. also mentioned El Mandon who finished 2nd to...
Can anyone summarise what he said in his Melb Cup acceptance speech, which has got Des's knickers in a knot? Or a script, or footage???
And if someone could help on a bit of trivia thats been annoying me for 2 days.... who was Lloyd Williams stable trainer before GR??
Matty Cosgriff's(SEN) tips and thoughts for today...
R1- Whitehaven Girl.... well supported last start, caught wide. Good value.
R2- Sunburnt Lad.... way too good last start, on the up
R3- All About Annie... liked its 3rd behind Kibbutz last start. Described bottom half of field as 'below...
as heard on SEN. (is it Matt Cosgriff, or something like that). Anyways here are his thoughts, what he likes and why, tomorrow. And on another note, poor form by KB giving this bloke 5-7 mins to get through the "worlds greatest form analysis". Its Spring Carnival time KB, FFS! Less Mark...
Does anyone have a preference as to what form guides they use? Used to be a 'Best Bets' man, but have tossed that and am now content to use the one in the Herald-Sun. Luck has changed for the better since I gave the BB the skids. Coincidence??? What does everyone else use?
Ran 2nd to Stanzout by a 1/2 neck. Ollie lodges a protest for alleged interference, and it gets dismissed.
Now, I read that Nash Rawiller(rider of Stanzout), has been suspended for 7 days for causing interference in the race?!?!? WTF?
Surely Shadoways wins without interference????
Gentry,
Could someone direct me to a site that'll provide free online form?? and how early does it come out? getting primed for a big day @ Flemington this Saturday... any help appreciated.
Cheers
Just after the general consensus as to who's betting on what on GF day. Have planned a few bets already, those being Cats by 20-39($3.85) into Milburn($35), Ling(26), Chapman(14) or Mooney(15) for Norm Smith.
did anyone else see these two at the brownlow? i'm still scratching my head as to the way they wrapped up their 'interview' with Jezza and Francis Bourke. and what is an 'archer barbecue'?

I can understand why people were upset, disappointed, and even angry towards the end of the game on Saturday night. Fair enough. But theres wearing your heart on your sleeve, and then theres being a dill.
To that young, fat disgrace that was sitting behind the point post, wearing a grey and...
Just heard on SEN that the Sp(h)inkter is umpiring on Saturday arv. But I'm sure I've seen the names of the umps doing our game somewhere else, and can't remember seeing DGs name. Can anyone confirm/deny?
