    • What Flemington Races Where Flemington Racecourse – Melbourne, Victoria When Saturday, January 18, 2025 First Race 12:15pm AEDT Visit Dabble For a second straight Saturday, metropolitan racing in Melbourne heads to Flemington, where a 10-race meeting is set down for decision. Despite their being no black-type races on the program, plenty of key runners are set to grace the track with autumn Group races on the horizon. The rail comes out 9m the entire circuit on a track rated a Good 4, with the first race set to jump at 12:15pm AEDT. Best Bet at Flemington: Samangu Samangu has strung together three smart victories to begin this campaign, including last time at Pakenham when falling in over 1200m. The trip clearly saw her out late, so the step back to the 1100m looks ideal for the Written By mare. This is her first look up the Flemington straight, but in a sprint that lacks any other speed influences, the race looks perfectly set up for Craig Williams to dictate terms and have Samangu’s rivals chasing her from barrier to box. Best Bet Race 4 – #5 Samangu (5) 4yo Mare | T: Grahame Begg | J: Craig Williams (58kg) +190 with Neds Next Best at Flemington: Wiggum There is no doubt that Wiggum should have won over the 1200m at this track last Saturday, and on the quick backup, should be going one better in similar company. The son of Rich Enuff was crucially held up for a run until the 200m mark, but once clear, exploded late, only to go down by a head to Shesallshenanigans. Blake Shinn takes over from apprentice Taylor Johnstone, and from barrier four looks to gain an ideal run in transit behind the lead. With even luck this time around, Wiggum should be winning. Next Best Race 6 – #8 Wiggum (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Travis Doudle | J: Blake Shinn (57kg) +340 with BlondeBet Best Value at Flemington: The Western Front The Western Front simply got too far back to feature in the finish over 1800m at his first look at Flemington, but with that experience under his belt, he looks a great each-way play with Picklebet in the last. The son of War Decree had strung together a couple of nice victories at Geelong and is poised to bounce back to form. If Daniel Stackhouse can have this guy settled midfield with a touch of cover, The Western Front should be close enough to unleash a winning burst down the heart of the track. Best Value Race 10 – #17 The Western Front (9) 4yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Daniel Stackhouse (58kg) +1200 with Picklebet Saturday’s quaddie tips for Flemington Flemington quadrella selections Saturday, January 18, 2025 1-2-3-7 3-10-13-15 4-6-7-8-12 5-8-12-14-16-17 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
    • What Rosehill Races Where Rosehill Gardens Racecourse – James Ruse Dr, Rosehill NSW 2142 When Saturday, January 18, 2025 First Race 12:30pm AEDT Visit Dabble Metro racing returns to Rosehill on Saturday afternoon, with the Listed January Cup (2000m) headlining a bumper 10-race program. The rail moves out +3m the entire circuit for the meeting, and with significant rainfall forecast leading into the weekend, punters can expect a worsening Soft 7 circuit for race-day. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 12:30pm local time. January Cup Tip: Osipenko Osipenko appeared the winner last time out in the Group 3 Summer Cup (2000m) at Randwick on Boxing Day, only to be denied in a head-bobbing finish alongside Tavi Time. It was the best run of the preparation by the son of Pierro, suited by the drop in grade and stepping out to the 2000m for the first time in the campaign. He needs to peak again heading into this Listed contest, and although he needs to lug the top weight of 59kg to victory, Osipenko should have the class to put away this lot. January Cup Race 7 – #1 Osipenko (2) 5yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (59kg) +180 with Neds Best Bet at Rosehill: Wodeton We could have a new Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) favourite with horse racing bookmakers after the opening event, with the Chris Waller-trained Wodeton set to make his debut. The Wootton Bassett colt has oozed class in his two official barrier trials, with his latest piece of work at Warwick Farm on January 3 particularly catching the eye as James McDonald had the two-year-old under a stranglehold throughout. Watch for McDonald to slot in somewhere mid-field with cover, and provided Wodeton can replicate his trial form on race-day, this guy should justify the short price with BlondeBet. Best Bet Race 1 – #6 Wodeton (7) 2yo Colt | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (57kg) -111.11 with BlondeBet Next Best at Rosehill: Cigar Flick Cigar Flick looks supremely placed in this BM88 contest after back-to-back luckless performances in Queensland. The daughter of Churchill has figured consistently in much tougher assignments, including a runner-up placing behind Danny’s St Darci in the Listed Just Now Stakes (1300m) at Eagle Farm two starts back. James McDonald should get the perfect run from barrier four, and although Cigar Flick has been a costly commodity for punters this time in, this talented mare should finally repay the faith. Next Best Race 8 – #5 Cigar Flick (4) 4yo Mare | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (58.5kg) +320 with Picklebet Best Value at Rosehill: Lethal Thoughts Lethal Thoughts impressed returning from a 105-day spell at Geelong on January 4 and should strip fitter heading into this second-up assignment. The five-year-old was slow away first-up, with Saffie Osborne forced to drift back towards the rear of the field, leaving the son of So You Think too much work to do in the concluding stages. Anna Roper gets the chance to hold a position from stall one this time around, and provided he can handle the testing conditions, Lethal Thoughts must be considered a major player at the each-way price with Dabble. Best Value Race 9 – #4 Lethal Thoughts (1) 5yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Anna Roper (a3kg) (59.5kg) +800 with Dabble Saturday quaddie tips for Rosehill Rosehill quadrella selections January 18, 2025 1-5-6 2-3-4-5-6-11 1-3-4-7-12 2-5-7-9-13 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
    • Mr Brightside and Craig Williams return to scale after winning the Group 1 CF Orr Stakes. Photo: Bruno Cannatelli Melbourne Racing Club chairman John Kanga has announced plans to have Caulfield ready for CF Orr Stakes Day on February 8, following last Tuesday’s fire in the Norman Robinson Stand. “At the moment, we are still under emergency orders from the local council, so we haven’t been able to get access to the building other than for restoration works,” Kanga told Racing.com. “As soon as that is handed over—and we anticipate that should take about seven days—it wasn’t a difficult decision to move the two meetings.” The January meetings, including the Blue Diamond Previews and three other black-type races on January 25, have been transferred to Sandown. Kanga also provided updates on the longer-term plans for the venue. “The two bars will definitely be out until spring at this stage from what we can tell, and that’s the safest way to do it to allow us to rebuild them to get them as good as they were, if not better,” he explained. In the interim, the club will create new experiences for members. “We will improvise and have some beautiful marquees out the front and temporary installations for our Medallion Bar. “What that will mean is getting our members closer to the track, as we anticipate having marquees right up to the fence.” The club’s main focus will be restoring key facilities. “Our priority is to get the Norman Robinson Stand up and away and to refurbish the Rupert Clarke Stand,” Kanga said. “What we are going to do is still bring the mounting yard back for the Blue Diamond, and the bigger works we anticipate undertaking post-Spring Carnival.” Horse racing news View the full article
