More like he should have used the word JMac said after the Queen Elizabeth.... Embarrassing.

Official GPS data from Racing NSW showed Pride Of Jenni was 91m in front of Mr Brightside with 700m to go, which is the equivalent of 38 lengths.

2 amazing 2000 metre WFA horses to contest the Premiership final..

1. Randwick R2: 9, 11 2. Randwick R3: 4, 6 BB 3. Randwick R4: 3, 8 4. Randwick R5: 2, 8 5. Randwick R7: 6, 15 6. Randwick R8: 2, 8 7. Randwick R9: 6, 14 8. Morphettville R4: 2, 5 9. Morphettville R5: 10, 11 10. Morphettville R6: 2, 3 11. Morphettville R7: 6, 7 12. Morphettville R8: 2, 14 BB Tough again today so no single bets for me.. Had a look back to see how Veandercross went against McGinty in the round-robin. we were pretty well trailing them the whole way 3-2 and a couple of hundred $$ behind in the aggregrate, but then I got a BB quinella in the last race for over $1k collect and we won it 5-1.... would be nice to do that again today but not too hopeful, but in saying that I have saved a BB for the last race at Morphettville and have included one of the same horses from that big collect. Up against Pogo today so he's likely to pull out a big roughie somewhere...again. Good luck to everyone still alive in the comp and thanks John and Leigh...

Bit worried about the races at Woodville today.. I understand they don't have any irrigation there and the track is currently shown as a Good 4. But if they're now getting the rain/drizzle that has started here in the Hawkes Bay then you have to wonder whether they end up with a slippery surface and the the dreaded A word..

Xcellent too...

oh okay, didn't realise that Pete. Definitely makes sense now you've mentioned it. Thanks for that.

.

Interesting that there's 7 races at Ellerslie on Wednesday... 5 Maiden races, a R60 and a R65. So are they making these lesser horses (if you know what I mean) "crash test dummies" to give the track more racing and bed it in further.??

Veandercross vs Horlicks 3-2 Melody Belle vs Avantage 1-4 Rough Habit vs Mr Tiz 2-3 Imperatriz vs Showgate 2-3 No reasoning at all behind my picks...

1. Trentham R7: 1, 9 2. Randwick R2: 2, 13 3. Randwick R3: 10, 18 4. Randwick R4: 13, 18 BB 5. Randwick R5: 6, 10 6. Randwick R6: 1 7. Randwick R7: 5, 6 8. Randwick R8: 3, 13 BB 9. Randwick R9: 1, 7 10. Caulfield R4: 1, 3 11. Caulfield R8: 5, 10 12. Caulfield R9: 3 Tough today, so many chances for roughies to turn up at Randwick... just hope I can get a couple of them and help Veandercross make it to the next round. Thanks John and Scooby

Yeah do it... but just on this side of the fence, don't go jumping the fence and join in the race.!!!

Don't like the look of the example you used in the Veandercross vs Horlicks match.... but hey no pressure Horlicks.!!

Sorry just to clarify further... If you watch TV on a TV that is NOT connected to Sky, it means you're probably watching via Digital Satellite TV. So all you do is go the Channel 23 and 24 and there is it, there is no need to tune anything in at all.. it is free to view. Don't go into your Smart TV (if you have one) and then go to the Freeview app (its not there).

UPDATE: Just did some checking... there isn't the 30 second delay as against Chromecasting..

Yeah Trackside 1 working on Channel 23 on Freeview (Satellite).. Trackside 2 on Channel 24. No sign of Trackside Premier yet.

Looking forward to it on Freeview... just hope there isn't much of a "delay" between the race and the streaming. Currently on Saturday afternoon when I am relegated to a different area of the house to watch the races, I chromecast from Sky Go Trackside to the the larger TV, but there is something like a 30 second delay, and of course when you think you've got time for a last second wager the race is already closed and often running.

"McDonald left the meeting with a short suspension, which he has delayed until Sunday, April 7 through to Thursday, April 11." That was from Racing.com.. didn't mention anything what race it was from etc... Wonder why he delayed it.. surely it wouldn't have mattered if he took it from Sunday 31 March until Thursday 4 April.. perhaps he's booked for something next Wednesday that he really wants to ride.?? Any other thoughts.??

Exactly what I was thinking.. looking at his stride/action over the last 50 metres or so was identical. check it out.

So Veandercross goes again vs Horlicks in the first Play Off round.??

Bottom 2 in the table are pretty close in $$$ terms.!!

1. Ellerslie R6: 3, 6 2. Rosehill R2: 6, 7 3. Rosehill R3: 1, 2 4. Rosehill R4: 3, 8 5. Rosehill R5: 13, 14 BB 6. Rosehill R6: 3, 7 7. Rosehill R7: 1, 2 8. Rosehill R9: 7, 19 BB 9. Flemington R4: 3, 9 10. Flemington R7: 3, 6 11. Flemington R8: 1, 8 12. Flemington R9: 3, 7 Finished 47th of 48th last week... so can only improve and hopefully ensure Veandercross stays in the top 6. Good Luck everyone and thanks John and Leigh

J-Mac is booked to ride him in the TJ.

We would slow it down if our Saturday "standard" races were worth A$170k (NZ$ equivalent) and the Group and Listed races worth even more. Then more horses would stay here and NZ trainers would (probably) buy the better horses at Karaka and the like knowing that they're racing for the same amount as on offer in Australia. And keeping the better horses in NZ should mean the feast for one or two horses should increase to heaps more horses each season (in theory). Yes I know my answer is really stupid because races worth that much here aren't going to happen.... so sorry I don't really have an answer..

Hard to turn down a 7 figure sum irrespective of the stakes increases here.
