    • What Parkes Cup Day Where Parkes Jockey Club – 7126 Eugowra Rd, Parkes NSW 2870 When Sunday, May 19, 2024 First Race 12:05pm AEST Visit Dabble Country racing heads to the Central West region of NSW on Sunday afternoon for Parkes Cup Day (1600m). The rail is in the true position for the entire circuit, and with nothing but sunny skies predicted in the lead-up, participants should be racing on a pristine Good 4 surface. The first of eight races at Parkes is set to get underway at 12:05pm local time. Parkes Cup Tip: Toretto Toretto has steadily improved with every outing this preparation and appears ready to find his best fourth-up. The son of Press Statement was rattling home in his most recent start at Canberra on April 19, peaking on the run due to the unsuitable Soft surface. Getting back on top of the ground should be ideal for the six-year-old, and with gate one allowing Nick Heywood to hold a stalking position throughout, watch for Toretto launching late to claim the Parkes Cup. Best Bet Race 7 – #5 Toretto (1) 6yo Gelding | T: Matthew Dale | J: Nick Heywood (58kg) +270 with Bet365 Best Bet at Parkes: Cruizingdafield Cruizingdafield got a pass mark when returning at Wagga on May 3, fading out of the contest due to a lack of fitness after a 653-day spell. She was attempting to make every post a winner, and despite the lengthy layoff, the daughter of Deep Field never shirked the task. She’ll strip fitter second-up, and the Class 2 placement looks ideal, so expect Cruizingdafield to give a bold sight in the Parkes finale. Next Best Race 8 – #13 Cruizingdafield (12) 4yo Mare | T: Scott Collings | J: Matthew Cahill (55kg) +200 with Neds Best Value at Parkes: I’m Independent I’m Independent was no match for I’m Brazilian at Wellington on May 7, but the filly by Outreach powered home into a clear runner-up. The 900m proved too sharp after missing the start, with the three-year-old doing her best work once it was all over. The step up in trip should be a positive, and with a genuine tempo expected in this maiden contest, watch for I’m Independent to storm over the top in the opener. Best Value Race 1 – #6 I’m Independent (3) 3yo Filly | T: Brett Thompson | J: Matthew Cahill (57kg) +750 with PlayUp Parkes Cup Day quaddie picks – 19/5/2024 Parkes quadrella selections Sunday, May 19, 2024 2-3-4-12-16 1-4-5-6-8 5-8 13 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips

    • the All Stars are losing top billing?  We know Mark rules the roost but now has other ventures etc on his radar. Nathan is a good trainer but he's light years away from being in the same league as his dad.  Just lately the All Stars no longer look invincible in races they usually dominate season after season. Brother Barry, the Dunn's and the Telfer's have been snapping at the heels of the All Stars for a few seasons and even poking their noses in front. Are we about to see them put more than just their noses in front? 
    • so they had an inquiry,but how come they didn't late scratch the 2 horses taken out of the race before they even started. no way did they get a fair start. The starter only had 4 on the 10m mark to look at,yet he let them go when kango was impeding the 2 inside horses and moving in even more . That race was a bit of a joke from the start . There was a reason american me was so far in front after 100m . The starter up there needs to go to spec savers. 
    • Well I was only jesting that if we could magically get rid of Pokies that he betting dollar would return in large amounts to horse racing. (of course impossible with our governments enjoying billions each year from the pokie gambling taxes kindly donated by Pokie addicts. In harness racing they have run slot races at Cambridge the past 3 years , so things are looking up and some great racing , with the very best horses from both Nations, and owners and Win a large amount in one go , like they do at the metro Oz gallops , the Everest is fantastic each year. Real progress as the Aussie states start up their own 'Slot' races too. Perhaps Nz gallops could join in and try and attract some 'High Flyers' and public interest in the racing again. Aussies might visit and stables like Te Akau, Marsh, Rogerson could all have stables in both countries and the racing improve with it. The Nz Racing has been great this season. It is still going to be ok. I enjoyed seeing Ellerslie back in action. You need the biggest City to set the 'Tone of improvement.
    • What Sha Tin Races Where Sha Tin Racecourse – Tai Po Rd, Sha Tin District, Hong Kong When Sunday, May 19, 2024 First Race 12:45pm HKT (2:45pm AEST) Visit Dabble Hong Kong racing returns to Sha Tin on Sunday, with a bumper 10-race program set for decision. The rail is in the C+3 position, and although sunny skies are predicted in the lead-up, some scattered showers throughout the afternoon could leave participants racing on a yielding surface at some stage. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 12:45pm local time. Best Bet: Sky Trust Sky Trust is on the one-week backup after a luckless effort at this course and distance on May 11. He was crowded for room when shifting clear under Hugh Bowman, with the son of So You Think hitting his stride in the final furlong. He’s hit the frame in three of his six starts to date, and with a bit more urgency to hold a position from the inside draw (2), Sky Trust appears set to add one to the win column. Best Bet Race 6 – #10 Sky Trust (2) 3yo Gelding | T: Caspar Fownes | J: Hugh Bowman (56.5kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best: Super Infinity Super Infinity has looked outstanding at the barrier trials heading into his debut for the Mark Newnham barn. His Happy Valley jump-out on April 19 particularly caught the eye, with the gelding by Star Witness attacking the wire under minimal riding by leading hoop Zac Purton. He elects to stick for race-day, and although barrier 11 could prove tricky to overcome, leave it to Hong Kong’s best to slot in for cover before exposing Super Infinity down the centre of the course. Next Best Race 2 – #5 Super Infinity (11) 3yo Gelding | T: Mark Newnham | J: Zac Purton (59.5kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best Again: Lucy In The Sky It was hard not to be impressed with Lucy In The Sky as he demolished his rivals at Sha Tin on April 28. He sat outside the leader before exploding clear in the concluding stages, putting significant margins back to second and third. He still has plenty of upside for the Me Tsui barn, and provided Karis Teetan can produce another front-running masterclass with the rail in a favourable position, Lucy In The Sky will take a power of beating. Next Best Again Race 4 – #1 Lucy In The Sky (1) 3yo Gelding | T: Me Tsui | Karis Teetan (61kg) Bet with Bet365 Hong Kong Sunday quaddie tips – 19/5/2024 Sha Tin quadrella selections Sunday, May 19, 2024 1-3-4-5-8-14 1-7-8 2-4-5-6 1-3-4-7-8 Horse racing tips
