Happy Sunrise Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 An each way day for me. Odds were up at 9.40 when I first checked. Off N Gone in race 2 at 4.60 and 1.80 is a sound price, especially the place price if you are that way inclined. She should get a decent run through and not have to do it too tough. Le Tissier is an ok horse at 4.20 and 1.80 in a weak field. Mighty Reactor is drawn inside of him but it has no gate speed so Robbie Holmes will go to the front and that might just give him the edge. He might have to win leading and not like his previous races wait a touch long to get into the finish!. Also need to carry on with Mossdale Mac at 2.90. Short but another weak field with only a few live shots in it. Not that I will back it but Major Mac, the northerner, opened at 9.50 so we will see if it gets backed in heavily again like it did last week....maybe with a few lazy 20 dollar bets. I am off out now the betting is complete. Thanks TAB. Methven in 2 weeks so less of Addington. The outlook is improving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Race 2 Deja Blue. I think she is going well enough of late and has to be one of the better 20+ start maidens going around. $2.90 FF Place seems ok to me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 What do you think? Is the money for this horse because it is going to win on ability (plus the McRae factor) or because its multiple owners (4 syndicates +) have had a punt and weight of this money has brought it in?

One person put a fiver on the nose. Enough to crunch the odds. And at the same time, not lengthen anything else out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Where's our man Dougie? Dougie! Come in and give us a few picks for today please.

Mardy Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hopefully i don't jinx them,but here's a couple. R4-2 Mighty Reactor. Race not run to suit last time out,tho got home ok. Does come into the draw for this which is a big help,and on his good runs off the unruly lately,he does look tough to beat. Currently at 3.5 on the book,which i thought was a little 'short',but still worth a crack. R6-1 Forgone Conclusion. Been going solid races for a while,and just got nabbed last time out. Drawn the pole for this,which i think will be a big help.Comes against a couple of nice sorts,but i think his book price of 2.9 is way to short. R8-3 Cardinal Sin. Dead unlucky when pushing them over the line last week. First stand start here,but if he handles that then i think he wins. Currently at 2.1 on the book. R11-1 Look Sharp. Not happy when sitting parked last time out. Drawn to get the run here and can go close.Currently at 5.5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 R7 Hattie has impressive trial form, Top stable,top driver,top draw,top price $3.50 fixed R9 Girls let Loose has ability and can do some work.Eachway $7.50/$2.40 fixed R11 Minelli Smile was good first up,should take a lot of improvement and way over odds $31/$6.50 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Geez lads nothing getting me excited with these fields, some average horses paying terribly short place prices, so no multi's today but Roman might be onto something with Arnies Army, can't recall Ricky driving for Purvis before but garbage field, you're getting $8 for the place for a reason, no standing starts in its 4 races, 4 trials or 1 workout... sometimes you've got to trust a trainer so a small investment on the place is a good risk. Place bets: Smudgee $5 draw will either cause a gallop or a gain a soft run Champagneandwine $4.80 good stand start horse off a 2 week break Minnelli Smile $7 can run ok, drawn 2 on second row after scratchings hopefully Sam can weave some magic for her mum, toss up between it and Spicy Girl Becqui $4.20. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodie Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Correct Happy. They gave it to My Eyre! Robbie Holmes hooks out on the home bend and it wins, but only running for a place today, clearly!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like she has lost her heart...or her legs. I more week of double Addington thank god. I have had enough of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Yea i think i'm done with Look Sharp,looks like she hasn't strengthened up this campaign. Apart from her it wasn't a bad day on the punt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Good work from Mardy today, some very strange races and questionable drives today ( yes you Sam in the last) , like others can't wait for Methven, Oamaru and Banks Peninsula all in September. A 3.15 time run today from a standing start maiden race was absolutely crazy, Arnies Army actually went quite well, struggled to find his gait the first 200m and I'd be happy to back again, races were either run super fast or walk/sprint. Most of us punters have out own systems or style of betting we like but you must question how on earth some horses are backed into favouritism etc, He's Fast And Furious 1/1 in the betting, zero wins from 24 standing starts and and only 5 placings yet sent out fav over 2000m stand.... did run on nicely from well back but surely not a winning chance in that race. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Thanks Dougie,would of been nice if Look Sharp went better to finish the day off nicely,but not meant to be. As much as i love Addington,it will be good to get to some other tracks,especially Methven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Thanks everyone for putting their picks up today. It always adds some interest to the racing throughout the day. And a thank you too, from my whanau. With a few collects today, I managed to buy a 2L bottle of Meadow Fresh Farmgate Silvertop milk, instead of a 2L dairy dale bottle! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have had a bonanza of a day on multibets if Skippys Delight won or placed in the junior driver race. Locked wheels when going to win. No milk for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
