What Cranbourne Cup Day 2024 Where Southside Racing Cranbourne – 50 Grant St, Cranbourne VIC 3977 When Saturday, November 23, 2024 First Race 12:20pm AEDT Visit Dabble Cranbourne Cup Day headlines the metro racing action in Melbourne this Saturday afternoon, with 10 quality races lined up. A scorcher is forecast, meaning we should get a hard and fast deck that moves to a Good 3 rating at some stage. The rail will be out 3m for the entire circuit, with the action at Cranbourne commencing at 12:20pm AEDT. Cranbourne Cup Tip: Cadmus Cadmus was hitting the line nicely over the mile first-up from a spell, and considering he tends to improve after his fresh run in each campaign, he can cause a boilover in the Cranbourne Cup. The six-year-old has two wins and a second from three second-up runs and loves a firm surface, while he has four wins and two minor placings from seven attempts on Good tracks. If Jye McNeil can find a back to follow into the race, Cadmus looks over the odds at $26 with BlondeBet. Cranbourne Cup Race 9 – #13 Cadmus (9) 6yo Gelding | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Jye McNeil (54kg) Bet with BlondeBet The Meteorite Top Tip: Baraqiel Baraqiel is a completely different animal when racing around a bend, and following a respectable effort in Group 1 company down the Flemington straight, he looks primed for the inaugural running of The Meteorite. Ben Allen will go forward from barrier eight and likely settle outside the lead or be in the one-one throughout. From there, Baraqiel should prove a touch too classy over the 1200m trip in the $1 million co-feature. The Meteorite Race 8 – #2 Baraqiel (8) 6yo Gelding | T: Leon & Troy Corstens & Will Larkin | J: Ben Allen (59kg) Bet with Bet365 Best Bet at Cranbourne: Nation’s Call Nation’s Call hardly runs a poor race, and following a gritty performance at Flemington, the son of Frankel can find his way back into the winner’s stall. The five-year-old gelding just couldn’t go with the progressive Angland over 1600m, but the step up to the 2025m should suit perfectly. He is a natural frontrunner, and in a race where he should gain a relatively easy lead, Nation’s Call can lead from barrier to box. Best Bet Race 6 – #4 Nation’s Call (5) 5yo Gelding | T: Robbie Griffiths & Mathew de Kock | J: Blake Shinn (58.5kg) Bet with Neds Next Best at Cranbourne: Romani Ite Domum Romani Ite Domum has begun his career in style, winning his last two after finishing an unlucky second on debut. Drawn perfectly in barrier one as a natural on-speed galloper, Blake Shinn should not have to work too hard to take up the running. Leaders are traditionally hard to run down in the first couple of races at Cranbourne, which bodes well for Romani Ite Domum if he can get a cheap sectional and can kick off the bend, Next Best Race 1 – #3 Romani Ite Domum (1) 3yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Blake Shinn (57.5kg) Bet with PlayUp Best Value at Cranbourne: Vienna Vixen Vienna Vixen was beaten by the barest of margins at Bendigo on October 30 and presents great value with horse racing bookmakers. The five-year-old mare consistently runs into one better, but in a race where a few of these struggle to win themselves, the Foxwedge mare just needs to hold her form to be prominent. Ethan Brown will need a touch of luck from barrier 13, but with a stack of speed in the race, the pair will likely head towards midfield before charging home. Best Value Race 4 – #11 Vienna Vixen (13) 5yo Mare | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Ethan Brown (57.5kg) Bet with Picklebet Saturday quaddie tips for Cranbourne Cranbourne quadrella selections Saturday, November 23, 2024 1-3-4-8-10 2-12 1-2-7-9-10-11-13 8 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk With typical modesty Bruce Negus brushes off his role in turning around his $700 bargain buy Mouton Cadet. On Wednesday at Rangiora the Sir Lincoln gelding had his fourth career win and his third for Negus since he bought him in July. It was a Team Negus special with Bruce training the seven-year-old and wife Colleen doing the steering on the short-priced favourite in the Remembering OK Oskar Amateur Drivers’ Mobile Pace. After being last turning for home Mouton Cadet was brushed four and five wide before just getting home by a half neck after a dogged battle with the second-placed Kowhai Nugget. “We read that race correctly, there was a lot of speed inside him and Colleen had to wait and wait and wait,” says Bruce Negus, “it was a very competitive race and a great drive. It was a bit of change for Mouton Cadet – his two previous starts had been two sixths during Cup week at Addington. Since Negus bought the horse off Gavelhouse for $700 Mouton Cadet has since won $23,000 in stakes. “I’ve just capitalised on other people’s hard work,” says Negus. Among the people he credits for the horse’s turnaround is his farrier Paul Howlett. “The blacksmith I’ve got has got some pretty good skills and some good ideas and he fixed them in one hit – cross-firing and brushing a knee.” “It’s down to centimetres and he got it right … that remedial shoeing was very effective.” Negus says he knew the horse had a “big engine” after watching his race footage. “I saw the replay at Westport (March 2024), he was last at the 400 and got up to win,” says Negus, “so I thought he was worth the risk.” “He’s got a lot of speed but he does have some characteristics that make him very unlikeable.” “He has little respect for humans.” And a decent appetite, by all accounts. “He eats everything in sight so I work him 50 per cent harder than the average horse and being a seven-year-old he can cope with that.” “He’s a good do-er .. an old style horse but a nice horse to drive.” While Mouton Cadet has been a great earner in the last four or so months Negus says it’s very much a case of win some, lose some. “He’s been a good buy alright but he just offsets the ones that weren’t and they have been a few of those over the years!” Footnote : Mouton Cadet is an iconic French wine produced in Bordeaux.
