Gold Coast

Race 1 - Mister Chequebook - 2 starts ago led the 3 wide line, home in 29.0. Last sstart circled around into the death and got nailed right on the line by the horse trailing him Scarecrow in 30.0. Good enough to go very close here. Nothings running any better on form.

Race 2 - Seymour Blue Jean - Fascinating race! I went into detail, then deleted it, changed my selection to Zane Patrick then deleted it and now i'm back to Jeremiah Shannon and now i'm not. This race i have put a heap of thought into. Mainly thinking about horses who run fast mile rates, but slower last halves. The best horses can do it, like I Am Sam for example, poured the speed on the whole way, beaten in a 30.0 final split not long ago in unreal time. Anyway Jeremiah Shannon 3 starts ago, rated 1.57.3, out in 27.5, home in 29.5 beaten 1m. Then led the 3 wide line beaten 10m in a 27.8, so about 28.5? Then again rated a fast mile rate 1.56.8 never stopping for air, home in 28.6 beaten 6m. Now his closing sectionals are not the best when leading but i'm not going on that, i'm going on the overall mile rate which is very quick. Zane Patrick and Aussie Patch both rated around 28.4 last start on the way home, Zane Patrick had no luck last start, went to the line untouched. Seymour Blue Jean which might go right under the rader beaten 32m in 28.4, sounds bad right? The mile rate was 1.58.4, home 28.4 over the 2100 and he was first up. Very quick run throughout, including the lead time. Entitled to drop out first up, no other horse in this race would have finished much closer! Previous form before the spell has him breaking 29 on the run home fequently. When he resumed from a spell last time in work, he was running home in 28s.

So it's hard to know what to do here so i'm going to go for the value. I could go Jeremiah Shannon, Zane Patrick, Aussie Patch or Seymour Blue Jean very easily. Throw a dart at the 4!

Seymour Blue Jean because i believe he will be skipped by most people. Besides he should pay huge! Is he a good thing? Certainly not but he will be value, the key to making money!

Race 3 - Jimmy Ultimate/Redfern Boy - I hate this race, very, very even field. Jimmy Ultimate is the best of them and Redfern Boy could be a big blowout if he gets a trail into the race which is very likely as he'll ease back and hopefully follow Jimmy Ultimate everywhere.

Race 4 - Shandor Beach - Sat 4 back on the rails, leader was home in 28.7. Was spotting him a good 20m, beaten 14m, made some ground. Not overly confident but he could pay 50.00 :D ... The Victorian runner, Tommy Knocker is prolly the one to beat.

Race 5 - Maid Easy - Sat 3 back on the fence, got out, stormed home, 28.8. Ran around say 28? Good enough for me! Runs her best races driven freezing cold, won't be overly excited if shes hunted out of the gate. Just has to slot in and take a sit on whoever wants the death which will put her in great striking distance with her whirlwind finish.

Race 6 - Ta Nova Scotia - Led, went very quickly in front, only home in 31.7 but the mile rate was good. If he finds the front the front again he'll give a great site. Count Charmez ran a good last half when leading last start, todays hes off the 30m, i'll wait and see him do it from behind before i commit to him.

Race 7 - Mountain Rainbow - Sat last, swept over the top of Miss Bulle in 28.9. I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooo confident he can reel these in. Only 7 horse field which really suits him right down to the ground, you know he'll be thundering home! If he pays at least 2.00, i reckon it's value. I really believe hes an odds on shot here. Needs to be driven cold, no death seat for the love of god! Just sit back, then unleash hell on them at the 400m! Okay i'm getting ahead of myself again! Further looking at the field. Miss Bulle should slot in right behind the leader and sprint lane! Hmmm, damn it! There goes my nearly good thing! Oh well, he'll still go mighty close anyway, besides i'm not betting on draws!

Race 8 - Monty Rules looks a certainty but yes i know there are no certainties! Last 2 runs in far, far harder class. 3 runs back against similar crap, sat last, Pulled 4 wide spotting the leaders 16m, won in 29.6. Ran around 28.3? I expect this to win and win well.
 
You know on Monty Rules in the last. Was looking at his run 2 starts back. Sat 3 back on the pegs, following Woodlea Glen. Held his ground and finished alongside Benny Mac in a 27.4 final split. That run is huge for this. That was a 3MAO and hes dropping to a C0 tonight. Bring it on!
 
Harold Park

Race 1 - Alfeido - Sat in the death, beaten 5m in 27.9 split. Run before in a quick mile rate on a slow track, split The Maelstrom and Abercrombie Dexter from the death. mmmmmmmm!
Race 2 - Abercrombie Dexter - Made a run 3 wide from the 700, beaten 4m in a 27.9 split. Hell yeah! Thats what i'm talking about!
Race 3 - Gotashotaway - sat 1-1, 3 wide around the corner beaten 2m in 28.5, was safely holding Tulhurst Kiss.
Race 4 - Special Opera/Governor Art - I'm just not keen on most of these. First up to but has run some quick quarters in Victoria when he hasn't been punished by the driver. Governor Art sat 3 back on the pegs, beaten 8m in 27.9 but he was flat, held his ground.
Race 5 - Cosmic Under Fire/Endeared - Cosmic Under Fire beaten 10m in a 1.57.4 mile rate 56.5, 28.4 showing gate speed and sitting wide. Thats as good as it gets. How far? I reckon Endeared is worth a saver. She made ground beaten a lip in 28.0, then held her ground in a fast mile rate, fast half, 28.1. Shes so hard to catch and shes prolly outclassed by Cosmic Under Fire but one of these days she'll bob up and pay huge.
Race 6 - Vikishalo - Beaten 7m in 57.8, 28.2 leading the 3 wide line. Made good ground on the winner. What a sick run off the track. Just Rachael couldnt even keep her back! I think shes got loadssssssssss of ability, i wish she'd show it and stop being hot and cold!

www.harness.org.au/video/nsw/PDC21080801.wmv - Sick run imo!

Race 7 - Too Bad - Sat 1-3, beaten 2m in a 27.9 split. On that run, should blow these out of the water and then some.

Race 8 - The Upper Crust - Hes got stamina, hes got speed, a more agressive drive and he should win. Not under 4.00. Sat miles out of his ground, beaten 4m in 30.8...
 
Im not just putting this on here cos i tipped her...but if anyone saw flash teena...you would have seen the greatest trotting performace moonee valley has seen since i can remember...home in 57.6 and broke the moonee valley track record at 2100...and amazing win by 25 meters...led from gate 12 like i said she would...i cant beleive what i just saw

Mooney Valley

Race 7 - Decorated Jasper. Last, spotting the leaders 16-20m, home in 28.6. Ran home in say 27.4? mmmmmm! Not like its a bet though, prolly be ******* odds against a horse like Cincinatti Kid? No thanks! ... but it's still a good test regardless! :)
 
Yeah omg ive backed that horse nearly every start this season and im not on it tonight and it shits it...they only try when its like 10 bucks or over ur right...and what was he doing on broadway play...ill never no...put webster back on!!!

cincinati kid is scratched mate....DJ is 1.28 fixed odds...advance attack might be a good little place bet at big oods..
 
Some thoughts on tonight so far

Special Opera first up, dud run. How many times have i gone on about horses first up, kick self!
Gotashotaway and Tullhurst kiss ran the same. TK was the value, kick self!
Seymour Blue Jean - Should have waited till he actually did something!

Generally selecting in races where theres no advantage is like a raffle. Few of those races tonight at the GC! Oh well!

BB - I gues DJ bolts in but you wouldnt seriously take 1.28 would you?
 
This bog track at Harold Park is a killer, nothings been making ground all night. Going to be interesting to see if Too Bad can win cos if the first 6 races are anything to go by, hes got no hope. The Upper Crust is off 40m, even worse! If the driver doesnt circle to the death, i cant see how that could possibly win or even place. I'll bet anyone 20 cents Drumfire leads throughout, any takers!? :)
 
lol that seems to be the pattern....i reckon is hairy macleary jumps to the front like usual they may not catch him on the bog track at massive odds

no i wont take that 1.28 i might take the big double figure odds on advance attack which i think will end up behind either DJ or larado


DID ANYONE JUST SEE SUNDONS GIFT...as i work with acacia ridge ive never givin SG any credit but when they were going down the back i said if this horse wins acacia ridge has some big worries when he comes back....another track record goes down...what a freak
 
Just having a shocker, one of those nights, that no matter which way i choose, it will go the opposite! Bennett to smart, around to to the death seat on Too Bad. Thank god i'm not betting, haha.....

I'm thinking the same the same thing Brooklyn, i think HMD will be a mighty bet. Castel Gandolfo might not be to bad either. You know what will happen now though, they'll both gallop out and MK and TUP will circle early and take up the first 2 spots! :)

far out, you got to be kidding me. Wobbly Archer who i best bet earlier in the week with the perfect trail last start couldnt even pass Art of Pefection in SLOW time, shocking run. Now he leads throughout? What the hell times 2!! Mountain Rainbow with the perfect trail couldnt get near him? I'm lost and confused!!

Well my best for the night and last selection, Monty Rules surely can beat this lot. These are all freaking hacks! I will literally headbutt the wall if he loses!
 
We never knocked Glencadm, you came out saying how hes a far better horse then Just Jasper.... We all know hes a good horse, did we ever say otherwise? It's funny, you knock Just Jasper for beating Hilton Adonis yet Glencadm does the same thing! :)
 
Well maybe you should consider that he would give Just Jasper windburn?
Thats three from three in open class ranks, did all the work in the race, gave every other horse a chance and was just far too good.
