Post Your Blackbookers Here
 

Hi All,

not sure if anyone is interested in a thread like this, but given that we quite often forget other peoples tips / selections or the close 4th of 5th place getters that are tipped, why not place them here with a comment after the days racing. I rarely have the time to review taped races, and can sometimes miss the good mid-week runs. Would be great reference and could take a lot of the workload off those of us who keep individual records, and quick to key into a online blackbook such as the racenet one. We are then alerted by email

Other than thoroughbreds, I especially like to black book on the dogs. I dont know how many times I've backed a dog at $8, it gets checked while charging home, and then wins next start at $30. Of course it will be racing at Dapto race 12 at 11pm and I havent seen it!.

So if your willing to tip, or see a great run, post it here!

For today, I liked:

Ideal Ben:

Should have been in the top two today, but a wet track would be preferred next start also

Matthew's Pick:

Huge run giving the second last runner 5 lengths at start! Beaten a head in the end.

Nobragnow:

won easily as it should of. Was a big top rater and could continue to go through its grades.

Nowayhosai:

made up ground to finish just behind the placegetters. Likely to be double figure odds again next time.

Look forward to seeing some others

Deranged.
travelled well in the run 2 back on the fence..Jockey tried to get alittle wider but was boxed in ..Jock had no choice but to stay along the rail in unsuitable ground..still in it along way down the straight ..only beaten a length..fantastic run..
Fuji Kid.
Alot like the above comment..battled hard along the rail ..finished close up..
only 3rd run back and will be fitter..maybe over alittle more ground will suit nicely..

I thought alot of runs of the winners are a bit flatering ..winners came down the middle or wider all day ..anyone caught to close to the fence had the disadvantage..

Same race as Matthews Pick,

Boys of Summer sweated up badly before the race and was trapped 3 deep the whole way, he was jumping 2 classes and had a big weight, he did a great job to finish less then a length away 3rd, after looking gone around turn.

Vatana - Finished strongly on slow track (Bendigo 11/8 1600m)

Superficial - Needs a touch longer than last start (Taree 9/8 1004m)

Stepping - Flew home along inside, got too far back (E/Farm 13/8 1000m)

Red Hannigan (1300m Belmont) strong run for 4th on slow track carrying 58kgs in second run up. Will be better for it and prefers a good track and loves the 1300m distance.

Hey Stix, noticed Vatana is racing today in R7 Bendigo...how do you think it will go...I actually have Bodecker blackbooked 'good run Cl 1 1600m slow track' same race as Vatana...S Vella has the ride on Bodecker this time around.

Confident
 

Hi Desi

I think Vatana is a very good chance today although he does come up against some horse who have been running up in class and drop back down to the CL1 today (Sacred Secret, Boys Of Summer), but with Captain Zero scratched, she comes in nicley especially when had 65.5 in the Jumpers Weight race last start and has 53.5 today.....

Don't recall Bodeckers run, was too busy watchin Vatana.

Hope to get at least 10's..... Good luck Desi

Stix

Desi...

Vantana was a good run, disappointed she couldn't finish it off.

Adios Dapper - Was drawn very wide and after getting back Flew home @ $36. (had him 1x3 = happy ;^)

Toowomba on saturday. Loughnan. The horse sat wide the trip and still won well. Looked pretty damn good to me but i had had a few ales by then.
