ff prices

[the galah]

its hard to find horses paying reasonable prices these days.

the bookies have the best chances too short,then the tote just follows the prices of the favorites in. Then if you get matt cross tipping the same horse,they end up paying even less.

been following my wingman,only paying $1.85 to win today. should win,but $1.85.

the best value always seems to come at methven.

my tips for methven are race 2. Mithali for aplace at $4.80,race 4 hes a loch at $41 w $8 p,race 5 just easy$26 w and $6 p and race 11 jrtoilen at $2.90 p.

so i will tip a multi of my wingman/win,mithali/p,hes a loch p,just easy w  and jr tolilken p. For a $1  investment i expect to get $5356.  Maybe i will do just easy for a place multi as well and collect $1236.or throw in hes a loch to win in that first multi to win and get $27,451 for my $1.

don't say i didn't tell you beforehand.

Looks quite the winner after good Addington run . is hard taking $1.85 though when could get $2.00 about Leap To Fame last week for your multi's lol. 🤣

Am loving your idea of some multi's though. a good way to get a few runners in the action. 

Have no odds for Sunday Methven available to the day in these parts 🙄 , but good luck with your big price multi 👍💰. Might look at taking yours Sunday but will probably drop the trotter in race 5  (as they make me nervous galloping about the place lol 😅)

For today though its your pick My Wingman $1.80 into my fav Grass track driver *Sam Ottley on Stormy Vista R3 $12 into BAZOOKA in the Amberley Cup at $7.00 to 'Blast em' apart  lol 😉😅   .   $150-1 for the treble.

*Sarah O'Reilly , another Grass track whiz too so have a $6-1 place double for her too . ( to supply the weekend beer all going well 😁🍻  lol ) with a tenner on R3 My Shatjie into R8 Flyaway to both run a place . 

At Albion Park today , our very best driver **Pete McMullen has 3 very nice New Zealand bred horses to drive to score a $40-1 treble. in  Chezzdale R1- La Sabina R3- Brian Chris R5 , so might go a tenner on that at 40-1. 👍💰 sure to go close.

it will be interesting to see how sam ottley gets bazzoka away from the stand.

Ottley one of the best drivers in nz for getting horses to begin in standing starts.

bazooka by bettors delight. I always think they tend to go away as well but still may be a shade slow.

its interesting to watch ottley. She generally gives her horses a quick stand start practice in the preliminary.

also if you watch her and b orange,they always try and have there horses in positions at the start where they are not lagging behind the others on ths same line. Theres nothing worse than having a horse start 3/4 length behind the others in the middle of a full line of horses.

otlley and the likes of orange win so many  races at the start through their skills at getting horses positioned to their best advantage behind the tape,as they line up.

i'm not so sure about the late start. I'm getting rather bored waiting for the races to start as not much else to do today.

looking at trackside i see its raining hard at the townsville dogs today.Thats queensland isn't it. Just looked it up, a 15 hour drive from brisbane.thats a long way. that would be like driving  from dunedin to auckland. Without the water along the way.Australia a big country.

any news on the kangaroo that crashed into the cyclists in the tour down under even last week. Looked like the kangaroo came off the worst.I see the bloke that won sustained a broken wrist in the incident. Keep an eye out for kangaroos when driving gammalite.

it is huge mate. Queensland had some monster Summer floods up North all through January. We usually get some down here in Brisvegas , with the odd summer storm and that.  BUT we have had ZERO rainfall so far for weeks in the southeast corner . I'm watering every day 🙄 as do gardening one hour a day( in between watching races ) as the place is getting brown as the grass starts to die off and plants still in 30 degrees days every day mid summer. 

so even in the Same state we Can have flood and drought at the same time lol. Feb usually our wet season. 

Happy NZ Day to you ! 🇳🇿 🍻  , and hope for a winner( to break the drought 😉 ⛈️) Australia Day was Jan 26th public holiday so has been and gone already. Like the idea today of NZ grass day trots as can enjoy while doing my weekend Gallops study picks 🙂🏇

alas the roos a dime a dozen i'm afraid, and many get culled for pet food all the time . A disruptive one at the Tour Down Under cycle race is a Not going to get any sympathy unfortunately. Yes the rider Jay Vine had successful surgery after . He's a top rider in Europe too , so am glad he repaired ok. He said in an interview straight after that final leg of the race there were 2 Kangaroos and they decided to jump out of the bushes as the Pelaton came past at 50kph. Can only imagine the carnage with that. some kiwi raiders performed very well in the racing too .🇳🇿 👍

Alas most of the Wallaby's around my home area , which has lovely bushland not far away on 3 sides  ( and one of our local  kookaburras too ) and plenty of possums have been depleted on the road kill list. People are shocking drivers. I'm always watching closely for them,  as worked with animals nearly all my life and would feel terrible if hit one.

australia really does sound a wonderful  place the way you descibe it and its animals and other nature things .

i once came across a wallaby in the middle of the night about 10 years ago,when just out of town.

Spotted him just in time in my headlights to slam on the brakes,still hit him,not hard. He was knocked forward a wee bit. Got up and hopped off. Hopefully he was ok and learnt not to sit in middle of a country road.

Agree divs very hard to find, wingman terrible short, but won well, thought country gold be worth a wee look, good draw no world beater but honest, did take hes a loch on the coast circuit, was very honest races, 1st day at blenheim was terrible, but big run 2nd day, will watch an see how adelphi storm goes at methven, change of trainer, formerly trained on the coast
