Premier Nite Alex $1 game - it's on


Karrots

Recommended Posts

Was thinking of a new game we could do, this being the $1 game.

This Fri Alex Park is on, might have a few short priced favs. Also might have some great races and entertainment to be watched.

Thinking for a change how about anyone that wants to participate, these are rules:

You all have $1 only

You can use this $1 only on any horse you want on nite & can bet however Eg win, place, multi, quinella, trifecta etc.

The person with the highest amount at end of nite is the winner. And will take my selections crown. To be the new reigning champ.

Ill do a reminder closer to time, when TAB info is out. And put up a post on the Harness Punting Page for people to make their selection.

This thread could be if anyone wants to talk about the Fri meeting.

* I see Aladdin is nom-ed for Derby and Telfers have a big hand in noms for the other races that make up the card.

* Who will win the Derby, Krug, American Dealer, Its all About Faith or another runner?

* Will Spirit of St Lou strip fitter & give Copy That more of a run for his money this week?

Yes, Spirit of St Louis will be improved. Copy That should still win.

I think they should have put Bettor Twist in the Derby ($200,000) instead of Oaks ($125,000). Why the difference in stakes? I think she is good enough to beat the colts/geldings. She was tough the other night and will be fitter this time. 

Alladin is a good horse, but no disrespect he has gone backwards since going up north. The Blanchards heyday was around the same time as Barron/Lischner NAHCO3 experiment. Alladin will win plenty in Australia.

Yeah I was surprised that Havtime was not nom-ed for the Listed Mares race, instead nom-ed for the FFA against the boys and likes of CT. But they obviously have their reasons. 

Forgot to mention too, it’s the final of the Young Guns. Wonder who is on the winner from our 2y-o Jewels list.

Thought Spirit of St Lou, run fresh up had merit.

An article on Lincoln Farms stated that they think he is even better this year now (Copy That). Yikes watch out to his competition.

Wonder if the Telfers will end up with 10 or more in a race …

I think Havtime has won a race worth more than 100k so not eligible for mares race.

Oh yes, that will be it. Makes sense & makes it fair to give others the chance to get the goodies 👍

Saw an article on Harness Link that said Spirit of St Lou "battled into 3rd". Hmm me thinks, fresh up, 4 months since last race, they ran final 400 in 26. 4

Don’t think I would of worded it "battled".

But I do have my favourites 🤗

Maybe throw in the "battler" Spirit of St Lou for a place too.

There goes Karrots $1 down the gurgler . Check out the ONE draw in that race? Do you have faith in it?  sitting Pat on the favourites back?

Not sure what you mean, but there are 3 horses to run a place. Or do you mean it might get past CT? Hmm

I'd have to wait and see what the fixed odds are paying before deciding what current selections reigning Champ decides hehe.

Haha!  yes you could run 3rd if luck on your side but from the draws you would think Copy That and Christianshavtime would be filling two of the three place spots

Yes true, but what if Spirit of St Lou comes blasting out too with CT, & CT decides not to kamikazi against him, instead, lets him cross, then whips back around to take the lead. Then Spirit is in the trail and CT main competitor is 3 back the fence. 

Read an article very recently that the Oz Lincoln Farms trainer did exactly that as a race plan strategy with another Sweet Lou horse ex kiwi called Larry Lincoln planting the main rival (drawn 1) 3 back the fence & Larry got the win.

Who knows exactly what will happen ... we will have to wait and see. And don't forget to get your $1 bet selection in, when the TAB odds are out peeps 😁
