NRL Odds: The Roosters Meet The Rabbitohs Again
September 24th, 2014 by TJ DilferWhat a pair of semi-finals! We’ve been saying that this season’s NRL could go right down to the wire, and games just don’t get much closer than either of the two semi-finals we saw this weekend gone. With both games in the same weekend, there will have been some strained hearts all around the country, and two sets of fans still walking on air after the weekend. They’ll be looking ahead to the preliminary finals, too, and sizing up the NRL odds for another pair of games that could go to the wire…
First off is Read the rest of this entry »

September 24th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIn the last week or so, we’ve reported on a couple of differing views on whether Gai Waterhouse can make it two Melbourne Cup wins in two years, following her success with Fiorente in 2013 with a win for The Offer in 2014. The Racing odds certainly have The Offer well placed to do Waterhouse proud, but there’s a bit of a feeling that he might be a less obvious prospect than he appears in the 2014 Melbourne Cup.
So, can Waterhouse claim a second Melbourne Cup win? She will certainly be Read the rest of this entry »

September 24th, 2014 by Pom de TurfMuch will be made of the overseas raiders in the 2014 Melbourne Spring – and it’s fair to say that there will be plenty of classy prospects making their way to Australia this year, and that you’ll see lots of them featuring heavily in the Racing odds for big races throughout the Spring Festival. So what we thought we’d do is Read the rest of this entry »

September 23rd, 2014 by TJ DilferSo it’s going to be a showdown between the Swans and the Hawks in Saturday’s Grand Final – and we can hardly think of two more worthy or deserving teams that these two to contest the last game of the 2014 season. It’s the very best attack over the course of the season against the very strongest defence, and when you look at the AFL odds for the Grand Final, you can see that the bookies have the Swans as the stronger chance of the two.
But that could easily be because Read the rest of this entry »

September 23rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfAn Irish import with some genuine class, and a horse we’ve already seen in in the Melbourne Cup, when she ran tenth behind Fiorente in last year’s race, Voleuse De Coeurs was set to kick off her 2014 Melbourne Spring with a run in the Underwood Stakes. But news that she has come down with an infection of some sort has possibly meant that she won’t be appearing in the Racing odds for this year’s Spring Festival at all… Read the rest of this entry »
Read more »Melbourne Spring Racing Odds: Sweynesse Still Unbeaten
September 23rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfAn impressive run of three wins from three starts continues for Sweynesse, and he looked good in action in the Spring Stakes as he held off a fast finish by Pounamu to claim the prize. With the sort of record he’s gathering, he’s going to be a real fixture of the Racing odds for the 2014 Melbourne Spring.
Sweynesse is obviously something of a prospect, and Read the rest of this entry »
Read more »Melbourne Cup Racing Odds: Waterhouse Talking The Talk
September 19th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThere are some rumbles going on at the moment about Gai Waterhouse’s best hope for a repeat Melbourne Cup win in the 2014 edition of the race, and whilst The Offer is the favourite in the early Racing odds for The Race That Stops A Nation, there are a strong crop of overseas raiders on their way, and some talk about movement to come on The Offer’s odds.
But don’t tell that to Gai Waterhouse – we don’t think she’s going to agree with the punters out there who have The Offer pegged as a false early favourite. He has had an overwhelming number of backers early on, it has to be said, and there’s a theory that Read the rest of this entry »

September 19th, 2014 by Pom de TurfYou’ll see the name Rich Enuff again before the Melbourne Spring is out, especially if you’re looking at the Racing odds for the Caulfield Guineas on October 11th. He’s an emerging talent who has made quite a name for himself with a couple of strong wins at Moonee Valley last month and again at Flemington this week.
But don’t just take our word for it. Trainer Ken Keys was pretty happy after the win in the McKenzie Stakes at Moonee Valley in August, and we reckon he’s going to be Read the rest of this entry »
Read more »Melbourne Cup Racing Odds: Pale Mimosa Out?
September 19th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe’ve been seeing conflicting news reports over the past couple of weeks about a 2014 Melbourne Cup start for Pale Mimosa, and the bottom of the story has still to be reached, it looks like, with her camp assessing their options and Racing Victoria still keen for her to make the trip if she can. Certainly, she’s likely to be a player in the Racing odds at the end of that there link if she does go into quarantine, but this might be a case of wait and see, given some mixed messages from Read the rest of this entry »

September 19th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt’s one of the first big races of the Spring Season, and the 2014 Golden Rose Stakes was eagerly anticipated, with a field full of stars and classy prospects competing for a rich prize of a million dollars. There will be a few of these horses making repeat appearances in the Racing odds we’ve got for you in the Melbourne Spring Festival this year, so this is a significant race for form, too.
And it was Hallowed Crown who came home in a fast-run race to claim the prize, maintaining in the process an eye-catching run of wins that leaves him with Read the rest of this entry »
