She did in fact start last Friday . AardieByThe Seaside won first up easy enough in a $75,000 Fillies and mares open . she had brilliant New Zealand form last year I see as well. 8 wins from 13 runs. Any idea of the Sale price for a good mare like that ? (The million dollar plus Nullibor slot-race was run last Friday too in WA. Minstrel part owned by Robin and jackie Butt ran 2nd and picked up $200,000. ) winner was Kate Gath with last years Miracle Mile winner Catch A Wave. -

I don't think the TAB gonna pour money/advertising into place pools. I suspect they going on Aussie history/experience and challenging people to back winners ...or take the various other options around 'losers' which folk can build into their multis which growing in popularity by the week ! Field sizes in NZ overall seem to be shrinking so paying out 3 x dividends per race seems a bit 'boring'. And possibly not showing place prices on TV screen immediate before a race is surely a huge hint. Challenge yourself to pick winners or a a decent multi with a few first 3 ,4 or 5 options . No ,if Brodie wants a challenge to show his skill and do better than the rest of us he should back on the nose , or throw his astute place chances into multis. Better advice would be to bet on the tote ,become a VIP and negotiate a Rebate and some nice trips and fancy functions. Or take up bridge ! At least he should discuss his 'wants' and 'needs' with TAB bosses and develop a working relationship with them. The TAB & BGP ,have developed a WIN/WIN relationship ...a term you often use....they even have helped the TAB get new people [thousands] to open accounts but they have to negotiate their big bets with the Ma and Pa bets small stakes...the TAB often says NO cos they want and need to make a profit off BGP , and they do ! They certainly not going to endorse big bets on small place pools ......not so long ago they used to pay out what the weight of bets on a race justified....and place prices were less than a $. They starting giving money back ! -

Of course grass tracks are the preferred surface for racing/trials etc for 8 months of year but the synthetics viewed by many as having their place to fill a void during the wetter months. Certainly the Cambridge track getting a lot of use at handling the huge demand for trackwork etc The recent cancellation of CD trials no great surprise as there was a big day of trials at Foxton plus well attended jumpouts at Waipuk the week prior . IMO ,too many trials anyway , back in the day the likes of Grey Way and Show Gate rarely if ever went to trials...they very rare anyway....In recent years many connections get more excited at trials on grass than they do on raceday cos they looking for a 'good offer'. And the banging on about low numbers at Cambrdge synthetic trials conveniently overlook the fact that most weeks that venue holds jumpouts which many prefer.......so far in April ...4/4 24 heats at jumpouts , 11/4 15 heats, 18/4 17 heats. These heats tend to be small in numbers but many love em and the horses are bouncing off all surfaces with a lot of success ! -
Thats right Paleface, absolutely NIL! Tell the blokes at Entain to wipe my restrictions so they can clean up! -

The Robert Sangster Stakes Day card at Morphettville this Saturday features another exciting Group 1 contest: the Australasian Oaks 2024 for three-year-old fillies. Wings Of Song is narrow favourite to keep the wins coming in Saturday’s Australasian Oaks 2024. Photo: Jenny Barnes. This 2000m staying test promises to be a wide-open affair, with the bookmakers struggling to pick a clear favourite. Currently leading the charge at $5.50 through Ladbrokes is Wings Of Song. Trained by Patrick Payne, this daughter of Mendelssohn has been on a tear, winning her last six races in a row. She dominated her Tasmanian counterparts throughout the summer, capturing the Tasmanian Guineas, Thousand Guineas, Strutt Stakes, and Tasmanian Oaks. Following a powerful victory in the Group 3 Auraria Stakes here at Morphettville last start, she looks to become the first filly since Sopressa (2018) to complete the Auraria Stakes – Australasian Oaks double. Concello ($6) and Vibrant Sun ($6) are the closest challengers in the Australasian Oaks field. Chris Waller‘s Trapeze Artist filly Concello ran a credible third in the Group 3 Adrian Knox Stakes at Randwick on softer ground. She’ll appreciate the firmer track conditions this time and could return to winning form under ace jockey James McDonald. Mark Zahra will be in the saddle for Vibrant Sun, a Group 3-winning daughter of The Autumn Sun. This talented filly comes off a victory in the Alexandra Stakes and is expected to handle the step up in distance. Several other runners offer value in this open race. Pulchritudinous ($8.50), the Group 1 NZ Oaks winner, is now under the care of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott down under. Tony and Calvin McEvoy‘s Coco Sun ($9) is in top form with back-to-back wins, while Queen Of Dragons ($10) and Quickster ($10) are both proven performers with the potential to cause an upset. With a capacity field and plenty of contenders in the mix, the 2024 Australasian Oaks promises to be a thrilling race. 2024 Australasian Oaks Field No Last 10 Horse Trainer Jockey Barrier Weight Penalty Hcp Rating 1 517×0311 PULCHRITUDINOUS (NZ) Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Tim Clark 7 56kg 98 2 1292111111 WINGS OF SONG Patrick Payne Jake Noonan 9 56kg 86 3 417812 POSITIVITY (NZ) Andrew Forsman Michael Dee 8 56kg 84 4 4x3841x385 SERASANA Robbie Griffiths & Mathew de Kock John Allen 3 56kg 80 5 x51972x614 QUEEN OF DRAGONS Peter & Paul Snowden Damian Lane 2 56kg 80 6 6210×41 VIBRANT SUN Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) Mark Zahra 12 56kg 80 7 x1144x3353 MOLLYNICKERS Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman Ms Carleen Hefel 15 56kg 79 8 1x96055x11 COCO SUN Tony & Calvin McEvoy Ms Jamie Kah 4 56kg 78 9 4×223123 QALI AL FARRASHA (NZ) Mark Walker Billy Egan 19 56kg 76 10 247×2112 QUICKSTER Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman Blake Shinn 14 56kg 75 11 613×513 CONCELLO Chris Waller James McDonald 6 56kg 72 12 28067×2146 PRIVATE LEGACY Gregory Hickman Craig Williams 10 56kg 70 13 311672 INTO YOU Shay Keating Ms Alana Kelly 11 56kg 68 14 3×311227 THE AUTUMN BELLE Henry Dwyer Beau Mertens 16 56kg 67 15 5x4160x729 BON MISTRESS Ken & Kasey Keys Daniel Stackhouse 5 56kg 64 16 821 INFINITY IMPERIAL Liam Howley 17 56kg 62 17e 218×374 HARVEST MOON Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Ms Winona Costin 18 56kg 61 18e 006×92816 SEEKING STARDOM Andrew Gluyas 13 56kg 60 19e 85×2 SHUT THAT D’OR Garret Lynch Sairyn Fawke 1 56kg 56 Table Credit: Racing Australia.
