Scarf is entered in Dubai tomorrow...

When did Godolphin get him?

my miss storm cat 02-17-2012 01:48 PM

I'm looking at Warwick and not understanding the odds in a few of the races...

Hot Snitzel at 6/1?

I realize Steps in Time and Beaded are in the field but Paprika at10/1?

Maybe it's me...

Riot 02-17-2012 07:45 PM

Black Caviar tonight, right! ???

Arletta 02-17-2012 08:05 PM

Yes... Race #6 @ Flemington.

Congrats to the beautiful Ms. Caviar on another spectacular run.

Now about these nice horsies above... I'm sorry but the odds on Steps in Time were crazy and yes had her, had the exacta with Beaded and had Hot Snitzel. (Okay Paprika didn't make my tri work but that's fine).

On this lovely girl... (she's becoming like an atm!)... :D

Poor Descarado. Hope he'll be okay.

my miss storm cat 02-24-2012 08:28 PM

Caulfield R4, Anabandana with Soft Sand, Twilighting and possibly Shopoholic underneath

R5, this will sound too idiotic but I've decided I cannot play it. TOO sentimental and I can't be objective, period. Great, great field and good luck Mufhasa (and Wall Street). The more I think about it I can see pinker Pinker and Playing God hitting the board but like I said no way... I don't want to touch this!

R6, Bel Sprinter to win and will play it a few ways using Sepoy, Satin Shoes, Yosei, and African Pulse underneath.

R7, Armed for Action

R8, Jesus good luck to Efficient who I love so much but will go with Glass Harmonium with Precedence, Illo and Southern Speed underneath. Maybe Lucas too but sorry am not using Manighar. Maybe that's stupid but whatever.

***

Rosehill 3, Potions

R4, Thumbtacks

R5, Triple Elegance

R6, great field!

Not sure but am thinking Centennial Park and Hawk Island on top... must ponder some more.

Good luck if you're playing!

Oh and if anyone can explain to me how Bel Sprinter is NOT the favorite? Go ahead!

_ed_ 02-24-2012 10:16 PM

Mufhasa! Thrilled.

my miss storm cat 02-25-2012 01:25 PM

I still can't get over it, ed. So happy.

As far as my handicapping or rather "handicapping" I need to just say I am both horrified and amazed at how truly bad I can be at times.

Awww, on Woorim...

Lucas Cranach injured and out...

http://www.thoroughbrednews.com.au/a....aspx?id=58488

It's a shame but even without him (and of course I hope to see him back) some amazing fields this weekend.

Can't wait.

I'm thinking I'll probably set a new high for what I lose in a single night but whatever. Exciting all the same.

Here's the thing. I hate redbaorders as much as the next person.

I have to edit this part because while I did try to beat Hay List (he was in the 2nd spot. Ugh.) it was the Chipping Norton I had in reverse... Rangirangdoo, Trusting, Danleigh Shootout.

Everything and I mean everything I did was wrong except for this one race I didn't handicap, I just made sure that this was the first one I played when I logged onto my tvg account. So yes, redboarding but I had said she's like an atm so maybe that helps and admitting I had NOTHING else...

Odds sucked but she did help me to recover part of the night so thank you Ms. Steps.

Such a good girl.

I hope anyone who played last night did better than I did. :wf

my miss storm cat 03-21-2012 07:50 PM

If anyone wants free :$: Steps in Time is in the Coolmore Classicat Rosehill.

http://www.racingandsports.com.au/fo...&meeting=22544

Love King's Rose too but this girl can't stop winning. :)

my miss storm cat 03-23-2012 05:43 PM

I'm going to be nice and bump this. :D

Steps in Time at Rosehill tonight.

I'd imagine she'd be the 3rd favorite (?).

My longshot for the night is Precedence* but this one... well take a look at her and decide for yourself.

Some really exciting fields tonight...good luck to anyone playing.

(* My personal current record-holder for amount of $ lost. :rolleyes: He'll pay me back some day. This could be it).

my miss storm cat 04-27-2012 12:15 PM

Besides watching Ms. Black Caviar win yet again is anyone playing tonight?

Randwick...

I think I'm going to try to beat Pierro with Flying Snitzel...

I like Miss Keepsake but might go with Divorces (R4)...

Good luck to (King) Mufhasa even though it's pretty tough to beat Ms. Atlantic Jewel...(crazy odds on Centennial Park by the way)...

Maybe I'm stupid but Permit is the favorite in the 6th because of what now? Nice nice field... money to be made there...

More Joyous should be the favorite, not Americain but good luck to Jimmy and my old man Rangirangdoo...

Boxing Pinwheel, Triple Elegence and Neeson in the last one.

The 6th is the one I want to focus on... will edit in my stellar picks latah. :D

(Sorry for being lazy and not using the proper names of the races).

(CNN) --

http://edition.cnn.com/2012/04/27/sp...iar/index.html

When Black Caviar lines up at Morphetville, Adelaide, on Sunday in front of an anticipated crowd of 30,000, the Australian wonder horse will carry the weight not only of jockey Luke Nolen but the expectations of an entire nation.

The superstar mare will be bidding for her 20th win from 20 races. If she succeeds, she will have gone one better than the great Zenyatta, who faltered at the 20th attempt.

Black Caviar has already overhauled the marks of such racing legends as Eclipse (undefeated in 18 races) and Nearco (14). Indeed, one has to go all the way back to Kincsem, a 19th century Hungarian racehorse, to find a more impressive streak (although her barely creditable record of 54 wins and no defeats seems safe for the time being).

The Black Caviar phenomenon has gripped a sports-mad Australian public. Of the capacity crowd expected to turn out on Sunday, a good proportion will be wearing her trademark salmon and black silks. The appetite for all things Black Caviar is so great that the state government has arranged free public transport for all those heading to the track.

She will face only a small number of rivals on Sunday. Such is the aura of invincibility surrounding Black Caviar, she typically races against just a handful of other runners. She is currently being quoted by some bookmakers at odds of 1-20 (and no, that's not a misprint) for the Group 1 clash, ahead of last year's Goodwood winner Lone Rock at 14-1.

But despite having beaten the best Australian racehorses of her generation -- including Hay List and Foxwedge, both classy runners in their own right -- Black Caviar remains unproven on the global stage. That is set to change, however. In June, Black Caviar will get the chance to test herself against the best in the world when she travels to England for the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.

For Australians, Black Caviar's English endeavor is something of a national cause. But if she has little left to prove to an adoring public back home, a question mark remains over Black Caviar's claims to greatness on the world stage, and that question mark comes in the not-insubstantial shape of a four-year-old bay colt called Frankel.

The only horse in the world with a higher rating than Black Caviar, the inevitable clamor for a showdown between the two best horses in the world is likely to reach deafening pitch should Black Caviar win again on Sunday.

A match race seems unlikely since the two horses prefer to race over different distances: sprints of 1,000 -1,200 meters for Black Caviar; the mile and upwards for Frankel. That hasn't prevented billionaire owner Sheikh Fahad al Thani from sponsoring a £1 million purse should the two horses line up for the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Gooodwood in August.

It would mean a step up in trip for Black Caviar to the mile, over undulating ground that is likely to favor the defending champion Frankel with his huge, all-devouring stride. But with 20 million Australians backing her every furlong of the way, you wouldn't bet against her.

Comparing champions: Black Caviar vs. Zenyatta

The similarities between the two great race mares are evident. Both horses are huge (Black Caviar stands at 16.2 HH while Zenyatta stood at a carthorse-like 17.2 HH), and their hulking frames meant they were each only lightly raced in their early years (larger horses usually take longer to develop).

Zenyatta became a racing -- and sporting -- phenomenon in America, finishing runner-up twice in the Associated Press's Female Athlete of the Year award (once to Serena Williams and once to Lindsay Vonn). Black Caviar's following in Australia is so huge that Channel 7 interrupted the Australian Open tennis semifinal between Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray to televise one of her races.

Zenyatta was named after the album "Zenyatta Mondatta" by British band the Police, who were signed to the record label of her owner, Jerry Moss. Black Caviar was named by one of her owners, Pam Hawkes, who has a taste for the delicacy. It also refers back to the mare's grandmother, Scandanavia.

Some nice fields tonight at Eagle Farm, especially the 7th (and 8th).

I usually put in my plays and then post them (I mean when I do play) but this time not sure... might just play Races 7 and 8 since there will be like no odds on Sizzling and Brambles, right?

R2, Firebolt
R3, Mental
R4 Griffon :eek: (sentimental fav though is Paprika)
R5, Sizzling
R6, Branbles

edit - R8... 6/1,9,17/1-4,7,9,10,15,17,18 for $1 ($27) and a saver on Wealth Princess just because (atb)

Okay good luck if you're playing!

I'm so glad I got home in time for Brambles...will have to watch the Sizzling replay. I knew the odds were going to be nonexistent for both but played Brambles anyway and left Sizzling alone.

I'm having a good night!

You will on the next two Coachie. Thoose are the ones that will pay huge.

On and off but will check back to make sure you nailed both!
