    Koriokaramea reacted to Pure Steel in SHOWDAY at Addington Friday   
    Blair Orange drove well Cup day with wins in the Group races with The Big Lebowski and Treacherous Baby,
    and very narrow defeats with Don't Stop Dreaming in the Cup and Rubira in the Sires Stakes features. They were both in front 100m out but just rolled late by handy horses Swayzee and Marketplace. Blair did 4 Perfect drives to be fair. couldn't fault any of them. 
    Only missing with Mystic Max in the Dominion in the group races , (but did sail to victory with Max at Kaikoura without a 'Just Believe' to deal with )  
    TODAY , there are 7 Group Races . How many can Blair take out ? 
    race 3/ 2 year old trot Championship  HABIBTI PAT at  $3. a big chance with great form for the Hope team. drawn very wide though
    race 6/ the NZ Trotting FFA    OSCAR B at $12  .probably 3rd to Just Believe again like he was Tuesday? drawn very wide.
    race 7/ Sires Stakes Final for 2 yearold Fillies Blair has NO DRIVE , they're mad the Buggers. He could of won on a number of these.
    race 8/ The ASCENT slot trot LOOK TO DE STARS at $50.  will be chasing Keayang Zahara like all the others in this. drawn 2nd row.
    race 9/  Southern Mares Classic MR KAPLAN at $8 . seems a solid show but drawn wide. will take a Blair Special.
    race 10/ The VELOCITY Slot pace for 3 year olds. CHASE A DREAM at $2.30 . Big chance here in the $1/2 mill  race. 2nd row draw though.
    race 12/ The NZ FFA THE BIG LEBOWSKI at $14 . drawn wide too, but won Cup day well. will need another Blair Special. 
    So ALL 6 of Blair Oranges drives in the features have drawn Awkwardly . so you are getting quite good odds .
    He'll have to be driving at his Very Best to get any of these home today .  best of luck to him against the 8 Aussies running today. A Fabulous days racing.

    Was gunna say , Get on the Stable-mate of that one .
    Olivia will be Coming out of the gate from the 1 Alley, with All she's got to keep the lead in that ,   RACE 7. It's a Group 1 worth 200k , so they won't muck around , 
    and she'll give a perfect Sit to the Cullen stable-mate (same owner too)  GENERAL JEN , drawn directly behind her.
    General Jen will come through the inside up the home straight and take the Victory at  9-1 . Get in the queue !!! (either to collect or for next bet if plan doesn't work lol 🤣)

    I'm looking forward to the Slot races and seeing Keayang Zahara -- see if she lives up to the hype. Chase A Dream looks unbeatable as rest of the field not as good as him. Personally, Show Day is a poor punting day for me, so I won't bet much. I had two bets, Bettor Be Sharp and Winelight, driven by the lovely Olivia Thornley from the in form Cullen stable.
    Good luck punting everyone,

    Creating this thread early this week to give you plenty of time to study and decide on your betting strategy ahead of a fantastic day of racing on Saturday.  Please read the rules carefully and in particular take note of the rules around scratchings, maximum number of bets and amount invested.
    You have $1,000 to spend on win, place or each way bets at three meetings (Ellerslie, Caulfield & Randwick).  You will have a maximum of 5 bets but you can make less than 5 bets if you like.  You can even bet the full $1,000 on a single bet if you like.   An each way bet (eg. 50W/150P will count as one bet) so for example you could spend your $1,000 by placing 5 bets of 50W/150P.  There are no single bet minimums.
    Collects will be determined using tote dividends - no fixed odds bets.
    Here is an example of how you might spend your $1,000 – this is also an example of how I’d prefer you to post your bets – meeting, race, horse # (not name), bet amount.
    Ellerslie R3, #12, 200W/300P
    Caulfield R4, #7, 50W/50P
    Caulfield R7, #1, 10W/10P
    Randwick R3, #4, 150W
    Randwick R8, #2, 50W/180P
    Posting deadline:  1.00pm
    Key points to note – I won’t have time on Saturday morning to follow up on posting anomalies so take careful note and double check your post:
    Win, place and each way bets only, and no all-ups or multis.  If you post all-ups or multis or exotic bets they will be disregarded. Regular scratchings – you can’t guarantee a return by betting on a regular scratching.  If you have a regular scratching it is up to you to replace it.  You won’t get your money back – you will just have a zero collect off that selection.   Late scratchings – you can replace prior to the posting deadline otherwise you will get your money back on these. Maximum number of bets – 5 bets maximum.  If you post more than 5 bets I will accept the first 5 bets listed and disregard the rest.  You will forego the money on the bets beyond the first 5. An each way bet on one horse counts as one bet.  If you bet on two horses in the same race (which you can) that will count as two bets. Amount invested – if your bets add up to more than $1,000 I will accept the bets listed in order that total less than $1,000. The bet that takes you over $1,000 and any subsequent bet will be disregarded. if you don't clearly mark your bet as win, place or each way I will score it as a Win bet.  If it was meant to be each way you will miss out on the place component. Final standings for this round will be decided by total dollars collected.  Like every other round, points earned will be decided by the number of entrants who you finish ahead of (ie. who you collect more than).
