Wasn't really looking too closely at tonight - small field for the Black Caviar (Lankan Rupee) and no odds on Catkins, etc. BUT I noticed Dig a Pony is at 11/1 on the m/l in the 8th (Flemington) so will keep an eye on those odds and am also thinking maybe Better Land in the pretty wide opened C.S. Hayes (r6) and - having a moment of temporary insanity here but, as old habits die hard, my boy Thumbtacks is at 40/1 in the 5th.

I believe in miracles. :D :wf

edit - :rolleyes: :wf

Lankan Rupee, how easy was that...

He's amazing... and Catkins was really good as well. :)

The Cleaner runs tonight in the George Adams Plate (9A) on Launceston Cup Day against the young gun Admiral.

Ah well...

Some great racing coming up this weekend!

Try to watch Subbie and jockey Chris Symons without getting tears in your eyes...

$20 Win #4

Just noted an exciting 3yo (so hemi) filly campaigning down under named Delicacy. Has won 4 races in 6 weeks, including G1 SA Derby over the weekend, beating colts.

The Australian Treve? At the very least, a promising talent to follow.

Cheers,

Otis

Agree, Otis she is the real deal!

Some really nice fields at Doomben tonight.

Don't know if Bring Me the Maid can beat Catkins, always happy to see Thump (in the 1st) and Moriarity (in the final and he only wins when I don't play him so will stay away from him tonight :D ) (thought Jetset Lad had been retired?) so will just do a win bet on Hot Snitzel in the 8th (Stradbroke Hcp and only a small one as I'd be happy enough seeing Temple of Boom or Boban winning) and will look at the Queensland Derby and Guineas and edit in picks.

Good luck if you're playing.
.
edit - Not understanding these odds... Hot Snitzel is at 20/1, Temple of Boom 33/1 and Boban 13/1 so will throw these three together, win on HS and call it a night. Not feeling confident about anything else but some really nice fields and it will be interesting to see who wins. Good luck!
