I doubt the bookies would have birdcage watchers. However there does seem a considerable reaction by punters to the paddock. Go back 20 years and there was virtually no comment or importance placed on paddock tips. It even took the million dollar betting syndicates in Hong Kong quite sometime and testing before they accepted paddock information into their pricing. -

With back testing say 2 years you will always come up with a system/strategy that has been successful. If testing a particular strategy is showing big loss most people quickly forget about it. Just because something has been successful over the past 2 years does not mean it will successful over the next 2. Thats the problem most people don't realize. Far better to have a sound strategy and do testing to make slight improvements. -

What 2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic Where Gold Coast Turf Club – Gold Coast, Queensland When Saturday, January 11, 2025 Prizemoney $3,000,000 Distance 1200m Conditions Restricted Listed 2024 winner Storm Boy (9) | T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | J: Adam Hyeronimus (57kg) Visit Dabble The Magic Millions 2YO Classic will headline the 10-race card at the Gold Coast Turf Club this Saturday afternoon, with a full field of 16 expected to contest the $3 million feature. There is substantial rain forecast on each of the days leading up to Saturday’s meeting, which will keep the track in the Soft range after being rated as a Soft 5 on Wednesday. Due to the ongoing turf renovations at the Gold Coast, Eagle Farm has been placed on standby to hold the massive Magic Millions meeting should the new turf not be suitable for racing. 2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic odds Horse racing bookmakers have opened their Magic Millions 2YO Classic market with only six runners marked under $10. The Lloyd Kennewell & Lucy Yeomans-trained Invincible Woman leads the betting at $5, slightly ahead of Gallo Nero ($6), who sits on the second line of betting. First emergency, Space Rider, shares the third line of betting with Memo at $7, while Icarian Dream ($8) and La Bella Boom ($8) round out the horses in single figures. 2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic speed map The speed for the 2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic will be very fast, with the likes of Invincible Woman, The Playwright, Space Rider, and Hi Barbie expected to fight for the lead. Vein Girl, Gallo Nero, Don’tdoubthelady and O’Ole will push forward from inside to middle barriers and settle behind the speed. Meanwhile, Quietly Arrogant, Memo, and Icarian Dream are likely to settle worse than midfield and enjoy the hot tempo. Continue reading for HorseBetting’s top selections and $100 betting strategy for the 2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic. Magic Millions 2YO Classic 2025 preview & form With so many speed influences engaged in this year’s edition of the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, Icarian Dream will go on top in the 1200m contest. The Ciaron Maher-trained filly was way too good for her rivals in the Group 3 B.J. McLachlan Stakes at Eagle Farm last start, as she sailed down the middle of the track and recorded a 1.5-length win. The daughter of Blue Point has been to the races four times so far, with each of her performances showing that she is only getting better with the experience. If Jason Collett can settle Icarian Dream in a good position from barrier 21, she will prove very hard to hold out late. Gallo Nero was very good when taking out a 2YO Handicap at Rosehill last start, and the Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes-trained colt will get the run of the race from barrier five. Invincible Woman and Space Rider have been impressive in their debut victories and must be given a chance if they can finish off after racing on speed.

Photo provided by X. Travis Bird, 51, has been charged with arson and trespass after allegedly setting fire to Melbourne’s iconic Caulfield Racecourse, causing significant damage to the Norman Robinson Stand. Speaking in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, Mr. Bird, wearing a grey shirt, did not speak but nodded to confirm he understood his remand into custody. Police allege Mr. Bird ignited four fires across Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs on Tuesday morning, beginning with the blaze at Caulfield Racecourse at 6:20 am. The fire tore through the historic stand, severely damaging its wooden structure and the adjacent 1876 bar. Fire Rescue Victoria commander Dennis Smith noted that while the fire caused extensive damage, it was swiftly contained. “This had a lot of potential to extend and be a much more significant fire and really impact the racecourse,” he said. Mr. Bird’s lawyer confirmed he would not seek bail, citing his schizophrenia diagnosis and overdue medication. “His depot injection is overdue,” she told the court. “I ask his mental health be monitored while he is in custody.” The alleged arson spree continued later in the day with small fires reported in Arnott Street, Caulfield, and grassfires near Attenborough Park and the Nepean Highway in Mordialloc around 12:30 pm. Police arrested Mr. Bird at Mordialloc railway station shortly after 1:45 p.m. following a report from a member of the public. Melbourne Racing Club chairman John Kanga expressed dismay at the damage but assured the public of the club’s resilience. “We will rebuild the Norman Robinson Stand,” he said. As a result of the incident, Wednesday evening’s twilight races were relocated to Mornington Racecourse. Detective Sergeant Stuart Hough told reporters there was no indication Mr. Bird had any connection to the racing industry. Mr. Bird faces nine charges, including four counts of arson, two counts of trespass, and single counts of burglary, criminal damage, and theft. He has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to reappear in court on April 1. Horse racing news View the full article -
I suppose the question is now whether the patch is consistent enough with the rest of the track to be safe to race on.
