Last weekend was a nice return to form as we snagged almost half the card with 4 wins on the day at Rosehill. This week we look towards what is one of the quieter days of the Spring Racing Carnival for Sydney with no big races to talk about, however, there are plenty of stars making their way to Randwick this weekend which should make for some phenomenal contests. Let’s get stuck in! Track Report: Currently a Soft track but with the sun shining today and on raceday I wouldn’t be surprised if we get back to Good 4. Rail…

Managed to snag Fangirl last weekend, but the rest of the card went by the wayside thanks to some heavy off-the-fence bias. I am keen to get stuck into a very open card of racing at Rosehill where hopefully we can find a bit of value. Track Report: Currently Soft 5 but the weather looks clear going into race day so we should be in the good range. Rail is out six metres from the 1500m-Winning Post and out four metres for the remainder so the leaders should be slightly advantaged but as always monitor any bias on the day.…

Finally, Spring is back! Group 1 Racing is finally back! The best horses are back at the races and many of them will step out for the first time this weekend at Randwick. The Winx Stakes field is choccas and will likely produce a thrilling finish with the likes of Zaaki, Mo’Unga, Think It Over and Fangirl all hitting the line hard, very exciting indeed! Hopefully, plenty of wins to be had as well this weekend, let’s jump in! Track Report: The Randwick track is currently listed as a Heavy 8 and the rain that poured down on Thursday night…

We are back for another week and personally, I have still not recovered from the sickness that came from Fawkner Park losing the way he did. Can somebody please explain why Gibbons was taken off!? Rumours have it Lloyd is still waiting to get going and press the button. Track Report: The weather is fine, the track is a Good 4 and the rail is out three metres for the entire circuit which means we should get a rock-hard deck with a slight bias potentially headed in the on-pace types. Race 1 – 1300M Inglis Pink Bonus (Bm72) The Little…

Backstreet’s back alright! That is right, I have returned from my humble 4-week trip overseas in one piece and boy have I missed The Mock community and providing my tips for all of my readers. I was especially keen to get back into it since the last time you saw me I managed to tip half of the card! Let’s keep that sort of form going into the Spring! Track Report: The track will be as fair as fair can be with a rock-hard Good 4 expected with the potential to move into a Good 3 range by the end…

Well, last week didn’t prove as successful as I thought it would, however, we did strike a $10 winner which was good to see. Would I have liked more of my horses to finish in first place instead of second? Of course! But we move on. I am headed off to Europe for the month of July so this is like my swansong before I return and attack Spring with a vengeance. I am very confident that we will be walking out of my final day with at least 3 wins, if not half the card, that’s right, I am…

We continued our strong form last weekend with another few wins, including my Best Bet. We haven’t been on such a consistent run in a while and I am feeling confident we can keep that going here. Let’s get stuck right in. Track Report: Randwick is currently rated a Soft 5, but with the drying conditions I can see it as a Good 4 by the end of the day.  The rail is out six metres for the entire circuit, which means the leaders could be in for a strong day, but I can see backmarkers getting a good chance…

Hey, Legends! I said I was confident I would find a few winners last week and I managed to salute a few and get extremely close on a couple of others as well. Nowhere near as much confidence this week as the racing quality dips a bit so stake accordingly. Track: Not much to report here. Very sunny, and very dry Good 4, rail goes in the true position and the racing should be as fair as it gets. Race 1 – 1400M The Agency Real Estate Hcp Tutta La Vita has to be the bet here. He is short,…

Last week was so close to being a mammoth day! We escaped with 3 solid wins, but boy oh boy were we inches off taking a few more wins, including our best bet. But I am the most confident I have been in a while for my tips for this upcoming race day at Randwick. Could they be famous last words? Only time will tell! Let’s get stuck in. Track Report: Currently a Soft 5 with scattered showers expected in the lead-up to Saturday, can’t imagine we find ourselves any worse than Soft 5/ Soft 6. Rail goes out 3…

We are back for another week of Dabbling and it never felt so good! Plenty of bets to have around the country, let’s jump in! Sydney Best Bet Rosehill Race 7 – KIpsbay – $4.80 Big fan of the way Kipsbay goes about his business and he goes in as a narrow second selection. He has been racing up in QLD lately and perhaps a little above his pay grade as well, but back to a more familiar track and easier grade should put him in good stead. He will be towards the front and should sit behind a moderate tempo and…
