The thoroughbred racing thread

Why bother?

 

When there is such a short price favourite ill try snag a trifecta. Go straight out for first and second and 5 or 6 for third, if not just the field.

$20 gives you 5x the div and if you're lucky and jag it you'll usually pull $200 easy.

 

Thought i posted any chance at cannington last night in here. threw $200 on its nose at $2 crushed my odds to $1.50 still reasonable.

 

3 horses in Adelaide today that are trained by stokes and ridden by tourneur.

on all of them and multid them.

 

Coffs Harbour; Race 6, #3 Villamill.

Comes back to the North Coast from races at Doomben and the Gold Coast. Last two starts after mid stint mini spells (like it has here) have been a 1st at Grafton and a 2nd at Eagle Farm. Ran 3rd at Doomben over this distance about 4 weeks ago. I don't know much about the apprentice jockey though, treichel normally rides it.

 

Just looked Adkins is a port mac kid who's been mentored to an extent by Peter Graham who is much preferable to being around Alan chau the dodgy cunt

 

Graham is as good as you get up here ftr.

 

Yeah absolutely 'last race Pete' ftw

Always back the Schmidt sisters if they are on anything half short back home also - Samantha clenton another gun female jockey imo

Like Spriggs' and obviously Robert Thompson too
