Co-Founder of The Mock Sports Head of Horse Racing Love to throw a punting tip out or three, as well as telling my opinion on sports to anybody who will listen!

You know what the say, if you’re winning early, you aren’t winning late and that is exactly what happened last week. Crushed the first half of the card and then the rails fell off a little bit there in the back half. But you can’t complain with a handful of wins. Let’s keep it going this week! Track Report: Track should be bone dry and with the rail out six metres from the 900m-Winning Post; Out five metres for the remainder, which is where Rosehill really starts to trend towards those horses who are forward in the run. Watch the…

Another close but no cigar sort of day for us last weekend. Plenty of horses that ran well, some that ran terribly and a couple that got up. WHY OH WHY DIDN’T I STICK WITH ZARDOZI?!?!? Ok, little freak out aside, we come to one of the best racing weekend’s of the calendar. Arguably the best racing card of the year, with 5 Group 1’s taking place, including the time-honoured Golden Slipper. Very keen to get stuck in. Track Report: Track is currently a Soft 7 and the rail is out 2 metre the entire circuit. It was hard to…

Light on winners last week, but at least it was a big one with Celestial Legend paying off that Futures tip of $11 in the Randwick Guineas given a few weeks back. We enjoy those spoils, but we need to get that hit rate up. Looking for a bounce back here. Track Report: Track is currently a Good 4 and that shouldn’t change with very hot days scheduled all the way in the lead up to race day. The rail is in the true position so racing should be as fair as fair can be. Race 1 – 1200M Midway…

We went for a feast or famine last week and it was famine. We started off well with Mad Darcey, but the wheels began falling off the wagon pretty quickly. We are going to bounce back this weekend though! Let’s get stuck in. Track Report: Track is currently a Good 4 and that shouldn’t change with very hot days scheduled all the way in the lead up to race day. The rail is out 3 metres the entire circuit, this however, shouldn’t affect bias too much. Race 1 – 1600M Midway (Bm72) Straight to the point – Mahagoni. He has dropped…

A tidy profit last weekend with a few wins and some strong showings for some horses we have been following quite keenly in these articles. Let’s keep that momentum rolling into this weekend where we take a look at quite a sombre card with Verry Elleegant’s tribute taking centre stage. Fingers crossed we can snag a few wins on the day! Track Report: Track should be completely bone dry come race day, however, there is rain predicted on the day, which could tip us into the Soft range. The rail is in the true position and the racing should be…

Last week, might just have been the most frustrated I have ever been at the races. Went into Randwick full of confidence in my tips and walked out with a wallet full of bonus bets. Why? Because 5 of my tips ran 2nd. 5! You’ve got to be joking! But, the luck surely has to turn, it is a long carnival and we can turn those 2nds in to wins soon enough. Let’s go! Track Report: Track is currently a Soft 7 and it has been quite hot today so the track can dry out, but with rain scheduled both…

Well wasn’t that a return back to reality? One win on the day, the best bet loses by a bob of the head in the last for the 2nd week straight. But as they say, the great game aye. It has been our curse the last few weeks, being on the losing side of so many photo finishes, it has been painful, but let’s hope we can turn it around this weekend! Track Report: Track is currently a Good 4, but throw in a bit of rain expected to fall before raceday kicks off we could tip into the Soft…

Oh yes, the good horses are well and truly back and we celebrated with a solid 4 wins on the card last week and we were only a couple photo finishes away from 6/10 card as well. I am confident we can keep that momentum going here and right through the Autumn. The Carnival is finally here! Track Report: Track is currently a Soft 6 and I would think with no more rain we’ll see the track start on either a Soft 5 or Good 4 and be upgraded throughout the day. If more rain falls, expect it to be…

Last week was another one of those oh so close days. Managed to snag a nice win in the Highway, every other race ended up being placings central. This week, however, we tick over to February, you know what that means – Stakes racing is back, Golden Slipper season is heating up and the strong horses are almost ready to step out. Let’s get into it! Track Report: Track should be a genuine Good 4 by the jump of the first race and with the rail out 6 metres for the entire circuit, horses will want to be in the…

Well that was a crash back down to earth. Could only manage 2nd placings all day in what was the first nudie run of the year, hopefully, we got it out of the way early and don’t have to see another for a very long time. Keen to crack into this week’s Saturday Racing card. Track Report: The track should be bone dry thanks to some scorching hot weather and the rail is out nine metres from the 1000m-Winning Post; Out six metres for the remainder. So, I would think that leaders will have a massive advantage on the day,…
