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!

Another day last weekend where things didn’t quite go our way. But we have arrived at Golden Eagle day, one of my favourite days on the calendar, so I am very keen to get stuck in, tip some winners and get back in the green. Track Report: Rain is expected on Friday night and all throughout race day, so expect it to be soft conditions at least. Rail goes in the true position, so racing should be as fair as fair can be. Race 1 – 1200M Tab Highway Hcp (C3) Dollar Magic For Me. Yes, he has to carry…

Had a couple of solid wins last weekend but boy oh boy didn’t Zac Lloyd have a stinker? The Marquess ride was mind boggling, Commemorative’s a little more forgivable, but either way both resulted in my two most confident plays going down and thus, after a couple of weeks without profit, we need to get back in the green ASAP. A lot of value on this card I feel, let’s get stuck in. Track Report: The weather is fine, the track is Good 5 currently but with sun expected we should have a Good 4 on race day with some…

Well, last week didn’t go to plan did it? Went to war at The Everest and came out with very little to show for it. However, we don’t give up, we forge on and we look to make up for that this week and hopefully get back in the green. Track Report: The track should be just as hard, dry and fast as last week , starting Good 4 and potentially Good 3 by the end of the day. The rail goes out 5 metres the entire circuit which means the leaders could have an even bigger day out than…

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Punting Christmas has come! Everest week in Sydney, Guineas week in Melbourne, countless big races to punt on, as well as the world pool coming to town. Everything comes to a head this week and I am very keen to get stuck into the races, let’s crack on! Track Report: The track will be dry and rock hard come the weekend. There has not been really any rain for a couple of weeks, constant 30 degree days, the only reason we won’t get a Hard 2 is the use of extensive irrigation and a…

Racing returns to Rosehill for a quiet week of racing before the big day next week, of course, Everest day! Get keen for that, but for now, it is time to build the bank and land some winners. Track Report: Rain on Wednesday had the track at a Soft 6, but with the sun since it should be a Good 4 or at worst Soft 5 tipping into Good 4. Rail is in the true position, so racing should be as fair as fair can be. Race 1 – 1500M Tab Highway Hcp (C3) I wish Atmospheric Rock wasn’t the…

Nice to bounce back last week, snagged a few winners, as well as lading the best bet. How good is Ozzmosis?! Racing is back at Randwick for what was once the biggest day of the Spring before The Everest came around – Epsom day. Stacked fields across the card and plenty of value to be found, let’s have a crack! Track Report: Some rain fell on Wednesday night, but the track remains in the Good 4 range. With a smoking hot Friday and Saturday as well you would expect the track to be rock hard all day. Rail is in…

Well, I called my shot last week and I came up short. I was ready to look silly and I did, I will be the first to admit it. Hopefully, we can bounce back this weekend! Enough chit chat, let’s get straight into it! Track Report: The weather is going to be hot hot hot, rock hard deck, don’t be surprised if we get to Good 3 territory by the feature races, rail out 2 metres the entire circuit, with the weather and the rail the ideal spot will be up and in near the front, but I think backmarkers…

Since the multi-coloured reboot of Cricket Australia’s T20 Big Bash League in 2011 the annual tournament has delivered plenty of iconic moments. From legends of the game coming out of retirement to give the league some instant credibility to gravity-defying catches, to world-class batting displays with balls soaring to the greatest heights possible the action has been non-stop. So I decided to go through the history books and sort through all the big moments and see which one’s can be considered the very best. Keep in mind, I kept this list to strictly cricketing moments, so while they deserve honourable…

Another decent day last weekend, hopefully, this momentum continues to grow and the winners continue to flow. A beautiful day of racing has been organised for what was once George Main Stakes Day. So while that race has been moved and renamed, all the good horses are still here for its replacement so they don’t stuff up their prep. I am confident I have found at least 3 winners on the day if not half the card. That’s right, I am calling my shot, I look forward to the deserved abuse I will cop if I fall flat on my…

Another weekend and another 4 wins for my loyal readers! I feel like I am really starting to hit my stride at the right time of the year. Last week would have had you well in the profit, especially after Just Fine trotted in at $12! Hopefully, more winners to come this week! Track Report: Back to Rosehill this weekend, we are set to have mostly strong weather all week long apart form some potential showers on Friday, if they hit, can’t imagine anything worse than Soft 6 and if they don’t we will be on a good 4 all…
