What a difference a day can make! Slipper day was quite successful here with a stack of winners and the best bet lobbing easily. The ROI is almost back in the positive, let’s hit it today with a great day of racing set to take place at Rosehill! Track Report: A Group 1 double card has been organised for Rosehill this weekend on Stakes Day and for the first time in a while, we will have a genuinely wet track if this forecast is correct. Meant to rain in Sydney all week and with the 5-metre rail, it could even…

Well, footy is back and it’s a great time to be alive! We now get 6 and a half months of pure footballing bliss and no longer have to twiddle our thumbs on a Sunday afternoon, as we can crack a beer on the couch and watch the AFL. What have we learnt from the first round back? Nick Daicos is still a star, Harry Sheezel could genuinely be a generational talent and Jason Horne-Francis is finally a man, and that’s just the young guns. Elsewhere, we saw the reigning premiers get bested by a gallant Pies outfit, as well…

The big day has finally arrived – Slipper Day! 6 massive feature races around the country, with 5 huge Group 1’s at Rosehill alone to unpack! Who wins the Slipper? Is Anamoe unbeatable? Will we see Michael Dee dominate the Group 1 scene yet again? Let’s answer some of those questions, shall we? Track Report: A fantastic ten-race program has been put together for Rosehill on Saturday where it is Golden Slipper Day, highlighted by five massive Group 1 races. The weather is going to be super sunny all week in the leadup, the track is Good 4 currently and…

The time-honoured Golden Slipper is the main event this weekend and it is as open as ever. So many factors going into this one including the fact that it is the first in a while where there will be 0 juice in the track and the deck will be playing hard and fast. If you aren’t in the first 6 or so in the final stages, it could be game over for you. Let’s go runner-by-runner and see who stands out from the crowd. Speed Map: Red Resistance and Steel City will be the ones to go forward from the…

We are back for another week of trying to hack the Autumn Carnival with some Futures Bets. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything for you this week As we approach Super Saturday this weekend we have 5 Group 1’s and 1 big bet on Anamoe in the George Ryder at $2.40 running – how good!? But we have had quite a few of the bets refunded due to them either not nominating or nomming and not running and thanks to Sportsbet’s refund policy we get the money back. So, this week we will watch, learn, take notes and then attack the…

Last week was embarrassing. The 2nd nudie run of the year as I went 0/10. I won’t shy away from my losses and it certainly put a dent in my ROI, but I am determined that we can find some winners this week with a lot of open races which means plenty of value. Let’s crack on! Track Report: The weather has been hot all week in Sydney so the track will need plenty of irrigation to get to a Good 4. We will start on a Good 4 no doubt and it would shock me if we aren’t at…

Don’t book those ski trips yet Melbourne fans, as we expect that you will still be playing footy deep into this year’s AFL season. In the last two years, the Demons have completely gotten past their years of lower-table squalor and risen to become one of the benchmark clubs within the competition. They are going to be a consistent presence within the Top 8 for years to come, especially if they manage to hold on to the core of the list that they have done so well in the building. Petracca, Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Fritsch and May are the star…

With the NRL expanding to a 17-team competition this year by adding the Redcliffe Dolphins or just ‘The Dolphins’ as the league is hell-bent on calling them, it got me thinking about all the previous clubs that have come and gone in this great league of ours. Some are still kicking as we know, come on the mighty Newtown Jets! Whereas others died a very abrupt and hopefully painless death and haven’t been seen since their departure from the comp. So let’s take a look at all 17 of them and see where they did indeed end up! For our…

We are back for another week of trying to hack the Autumn Carnival with some Futures Bets. Last week we made a few bets which I think will be good in the long run and I am keen to look at just one horse today. If you’re new here, essentially whenever we see a price we like for a horse we think has the goods, we will jump on it and post about it in this weekly column! AlenQuer – All-Star Mile – $15 (ALL IN) On Sportsbet I will admit, I think the All-Star mile is Alligator Blood’s to…

Back for another weekend of racing after snagging 3 wins last week, especially the $9 Lazzago. But what to do with the Randwick Guineas? Is it Aft Cabin’s race to lose? Or is there value to be had? We’ll unpack that and more in this rundown, let’s hope the wins keep flowing! Track Report: The weather is fine in Sydney, a couple of drizzles here and there but the track is Good 4 and shouldn’t be getting any worse than Soft 5 if that. The rail is out six metres for the entire circuit, so leaders will have a slight advantage.…
