She is a tough horse!!!
She sure is!!! She brought the field up to the breakaways with the other horse getting a sweet trip in behind on the track that shouldn’t suit her and she outclassed them!!
Super super stoked.

@hooroo thanks mate. Thrill to be there (actually the first time I've been on course when a horse of mine has won). Slightly dusty today but well worth it.

Very much so. We were right down on the fence about 50m from the finish so were screaming our lungs out. I'd like to think that helped...

To be fair, he's been on course for a lot more of the starts!

A multi of the 5 kiwi teams playing this weekend will earn you a $1.95 return.
What the fuck?!
5x games of rugby predicted correctly, and you can't even get 2x returns?
That's pretty sad.

Horrific eh!
I mainly just play the margins, same for NRL and that will get you around $1.80 to $1.95 per leg depending who you are investing with. Managed 5/5 first two rounds of transtasman super rugby but only just profited with 3/5 in the last two.

I hit one of my best wagers ever a few days back at Eagle Farm, early quaddie on Bet365.
Played a short ticket, a 20-cent quaddie selecting the logical and throwing in (as-is my habit) a darkhorse Kiwi in every leg.
One of those logicals — a local-bred, Jumbo Goal — takes out the first leg at 5/2.
Nothing to get too terribly excited about. But I have no idea the ride I’m about to be taken on…
2nd leg KIANDRA GOLD (NZ) wins at 15-1. Sweet.
3rd leg THATFRIDAYFEELING (NZ) shocks at 25-1. I’m levitating.
4th & final leg LETHAL WARNING (NZ) knocks me delirious at 20-1.
Total wager — $19.20
Payout: $3,482.90Love. Those. Kiwi. Darkhorses!!!!

The SARATOGA race meet in upperstate New York starts today. Opening Day! It is America’s oldest & most prestigious race meet. The track is often called “The Graveyard Of Champions,” as Man O War suffered his only defeat here, and Secretariat lost a couple times. Which gives me upside and hope!
Paying extra-special attention here to RACE 3 — a $103K mile on the turf for horses that have never won more than a maiden. Goes in 3-1/2 hours…
There is a 6yo gelding by Denman (Aus) (Lonhro (Aus)) — very rare to see Aussie bloodlines running through Saratoga runners, and the last one I remember two years ago (by Lonhro) won and cashed big. So, if that’s an angle with the smallest possible sample size, I’ll grab onto it.
The six-year-old I’m staring at has only had six starts — his only win was his 2nd start, over 28 months ago (yikes!) — and his most recent start at Gulfstream in January he was beaten 13 lengths.
He’s a lousy selection. But this plodder is named LOMU and has drawn gate and saddlecloth No. 11 in his Saratoga debut.
No. 11. Lomu is listed morning-line at 50-1. Daily Racing Form Formulator predicts a Beyer (speed rating) of 90 is required to win this race. and Lomu has never come close. Still,
I can’t help myself. $10 E/W.
This is a huge step in class. Trainer is a nobody against some of America’s best (Brown, Mott, Clemente), but is also co-owner. They’ve likely been targetting this race for a year — possibly the race of their lifetime. A pipe-dream fantasy?? He’ll be worth every penny of that fifty dollars.
But-but-but (grasping at straws here…), note his strong turf workouts at Saratoga, including his last run bullet.
UPDATE: Went off at 90-1. He was giving a thrill holding 2nd at the 3/4 pole, then died in the straight and walked home in last place. Was fun for a minute and a half.
