    • Are you with One (ex Vodafone). I suggest Call Roaming (daily charge) would solve your problem. USA $9 & Bali $7. Naturally Brodie would recoup weeks worth of charges with single Place Bet.
    • Now come on Brodie, me old mate TAB 4 EVER will be after you for Auckland bashing.
    • What Morphettville Races Where Morphettville Racecourse – 79 Morphett Rd, Morphettville SA 5043 When Saturday, August 30, 2025 First Race 12:17pm ACST Visit Dabble Morphettville is the destination for metropolitan racing on Saturday afternoon in South Australia, with a nine-race meeting set down for decision. Showers are forecast for Adelaide on Friday, and with the track already a Soft 6, the track will likely be a Soft 7/Heavy 8 come race day. The rail will be out 7m from the 1200m mark to the winning post and out 6m for the remainder. The first event is set to jump at 12:17pm ACST. Best Bet at Morphettville: Anthracite Anthracite is a lightly raced five-year-old who surged through the line to break his maiden over the mile last start, and this Class 2 sets up to suit again. From gate six Todd Pannell can park him midfield with cover, blend into it from the 600m and use his sustained build-up to grind past the on-pace brigade late. He’s already ticked the 1600m box on soft going, carries a manageable 56.5kg, and meets several rivals who either map awkwardly or are looking for further. With natural second-up improvement, Anthracite can go on with it. Best Bet Race 5 – #4 Anthracite (6) 5yo Gelding | T: Gary Boyce | J: Todd Pannell (56.5kg) Next Best at Morphettville: Karavas Karavas returned in terrific order here on August 16, stalking a strong speed before putting the race to bed late. The Jolly yard has placed her perfectly second-up at 1200m, and from barrier eight Jake Toeroek should get the same stalking run—one off, just behind the leaders—before exposing her on the bend. She’s bombproof on the firmer side of soft, and her profile says there’s still a rating or two to come. With several rivals resuming or giving weight, Karavas looks to hold all the aces and can go back-to-back. Next Best Race 6 – #4 Karavas (8) 4yo Mare | T: Richard & Chantelle Jolly | J: Jake Toeroek (57kg) Best Value at Morphettville: Nostryia Fresh off a tough 1050m win here on August 9, Nostryia looks the right each-way play in the last. The chestnut was forced to circle from the second half of the field and still put them away late, and his 1050m/track record stacks up for a BM66. From barrier 10, Jason Holder can tag the three-wide train, blend from the 600m and use his sustained build rather than a sharp sprint. He handles give in the ground, gets in with 59.5kg, and recent form around Halliwell/Bristler reads well. Best Value Race 9 – #7 Nostryia (10) 6yo Gelding | T: Kate Halliday | J: Jason Holder (59.5kg) Morphettville Race-By-Race Tips – August 30, 2025 Race 1 – 3-13-12-7 Race 2 – 6-3-2-8 Race 3 – 5-8-1-3 Race 4 – 2-1-3-4 Race 5 – 4-10-1-3 Race 6 – 4-7-5-6 Race 7 – 7-5-8-10 Race 8 – 4-14-15-5 Race 9 – 7-17-4-10 Saturday quaddie tips for Morphettville Morphettville quadrella selections Saturday, August 30, 2025 4-5-7 5-7-8-10 4-14-15 4-7-10-17-19 Horse racing tips View the full article
    • It was another maiden special weight winner at Saratoga for Todd Pletcher and Repole Stable as MISS PICKY (f, 2, Uncle Mo–Always Shopping, by Awesome Again) had little trouble with this group and spurted clear at the furlong pole to graduate second out. Third in her debut behind Wednesday's P.G. Johnson Stakes runner up Scratch It (Tapit), the 3-1 shot sat a comfy trip on the lead, let the field come to her around the turn and exploded home to win in style over Connect the Stars (Connect). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1. O/B-Repole Stable; T-Todd Pletcher.   The post Another Pletcher/Repole Winner As Miss Picky Rolls Second Out appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • 8th-SAR, $100k, Msw, 2yo, 7f, post time: 3:52 p.m. ET DRAGONES (Gun Runner) is the latest highly coveted produce out of Lady Godiva (Unbridled's Song) and the Apr. 17 foal is closely related to Leofric (Candy Ride {Arg}), whose eight victories from 14 starts included the 2018 GI Clark Handicap. Out of a half-sister to MGSW & GISP Multiple Choice (Mt. Livermore) and to the dam of the stakes winners Inspired (Unbridled's Song), Silver City (Unbridled's Song), Elope (Gone West) and Initiation (Deputy Minister), the gray was hammered down to Resolute Racing for $1.7 million at last year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale. The colt is raced in partnership with Winchell Thoroughbreds. The competition includes Akkadian (Good Magic), a full-brother to 2024 GI Pacific Classic upsetter and 2025 G1 Dubai World Cup runner-up Mixto, who cost Gary Broad's Walmac Farm $550,000 at Keeneland September last year. The chestnut's dam is a sister to GISW Rigoletta, the dam of the ill-fated GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile hero Battle of Midway (Smart Strike). Also in the mix is $400,000 KEESEP purchase Relevance (Tapit), whose half-brother Get Her Number (Dialed In) won the GI American Pharoah Stakes in 2020. TJCIS PPs 6th-SAR, $100k, Msw, 2yo, 7f, 2:45 p.m. ET TALKIN (Good Magic) is a half-brother to five winners, including the Grade II-placed Royal Obsession (Tapit), the dam of this year's GIII Indiana Oaks heroine Clicquot (Quality Road), amd MSP Jumby Bay. A$600,000 KEESEP purchase, the bay is out of a winning half-sister to Grade I-winning turfer Magnificent Song (Unbridled's Song), MGSP Galileo's Song (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and MGSP Great Barrier Reef (Mr. Greeley). TJCIS PPs 2nd-KD, $170k, Msw, 2yo, f, 1mT, 12:57 p.m. ET Juddmonte homebred CONCEIT (Not This Time) has drawn gate 12 for this first trip to the races. The Feb. 23 produce is set to become the latest starter out of Pachinko (Tapit), whose two previous winners include her year-older full-brother Final Gambit, this year's GIII Jeff Ruby Steaks hero who takes his chance in the GIII Nashville Derby later in the afternoon. This is the deeper female family of Zafonic and Zamindar. Tracy Farmer gave $400,000 for Secretly Delighted (Constitution) at KEESEP last year and her stakes-winning and Grade II-placed dam is already responsible for MGSW & GISP Sweet Melania (American Pharoah) and stakes-winning 'TDN Rising Star' Sweet Rebecca (American Pharoah). TJCIS PPs 4th-DMR, $100k, Msw, 2yo, f, 6f, 6:05 p.m. ET MOLLY E (Liam's Map) was knocked down for $400,000 at Keeneland September in 2024, but was led out unsold on a bid of $385,000 at this year's OBS April Sale. The filly's dam Mo Dean (Uncle Mo), a half-sister to GSW & MGISP Crupi (Curlin), was purchased by Susan Casner for $170,000 with the filly in utero at the 2023 Keeneland January Sale. Third dam Caroni (Rubiano) produced GSW Mo Tom (Uncle Mo) and Beautician (Dehere), a stakes winner whose two Grade I placings as a juvenile included the 2009 Spinaway Stakes and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.
