Caulfield Cup Racing Odds: Text’n Hurley Getting Back On Track
September 3rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfHere’s a horse who has had more than her fair share of difficulties already: we’re right at the start of the Melbourne Spring Festival and already plans for Text’n Hurley have had to be changed. A sore ankle forced a change of plans two weeks ago, and a return at the weekend wasn’t a successful as perhaps her team could have hoped. All of this might mean that she’ll see some Racing odds that flatter her on the way to the Caulfileld Cup, though – and that’s Read the rest of this entry »

August 29th, 2014 by Pom de TurfSertorius is a tough 7-year-old who’s going to have his say over the course of the Melbourne Spring – most likely there’s a run in the Caulfield Cup on the cards for him in 2014 – but he’s coming off a pretty intense Autumn campaign this year, and that will be reflected in the Racing odds ahead of the Memsie Stakes this weekend.
But Sertorius’ trainer Jamie Edwards is taking a realistic approach to the Memsie Stakes this year, in the knowledge that Read the rest of this entry »

August 20th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThis year’s Melbourne Spring Racing Festival could be the first and last chance that More Than Sacred has of finding glory in the Caulfield Cup or the Melbourne Cup. The 4-year-old mare out of New Zealand will most likely be retired after this Spring Season, but she has the opportunity to make the most of her last season, and she’ll be featuring in the Racing odds for both Read the rest of this entry »

August 20th, 2014 by Pom de TurfSilent Achiever is a horse that comes to the 2014 Melbourne Spring with a great Autumn campaign behind her, and trainer Roger James has already confirmed that she will be aimed at the Melbourne Cup this year. But he faces a choice of how the emerging star gets to the Melbourne Cup – the Cox Plate and the Caulfield Cup are both options, and you’d expect Silent Achiever to feature in the early Racing odds for both…
James is pleased with where Silent Achiever has ended up after a very successful Autumn, he told Racing Ahead: ‘she did have a nice hit-out this morning and it was Read the rest of this entry »

August 19th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe’re a long way out from the Melbourne Spring, and the big races that will be the focus of attention for the press and for most punters. There are already some great stories shaping up, though, and one of them is Gai Waterhouse’s The Offer, who’s a chance to bring Australia’s first lady of Racing a second Melbourne Cup win. But the Melbourne Cup isn’t the only race where the Racing odds feature The Offer prominently: could the talented gelding bring Waterhouse an incredible double by winning both the Melbourne Cup and the Caulfield Cup?
Well, things can Read the rest of this entry »

In fact, she’s a fixture of the early Caulfield Cup odds, and drawing her fair share of media interest…

August 12th, 2014 by Pom de TurfAfter a good win in March in the Group 2 Sportingbet Sunline Stakes over 1600m, there would have been plenty of optimism surrounding Text’n Hurley, and trainer Colin Little was looking forward to giving her a run in the Turnbull Stakes at Flemington via the Aurie’s Star Handicap. She’ll have to produce better, though, to please the trainer and to feature more strongly in the Racing odds as October rolls around…

August 9th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe’ve recently drawn attention to the Caulfield Cup as the most likely destination for Green Moon (see that post here), and the worthy veteran will hopefully get the chance to show his class on October 18th. But the reality is that there will be rising talent out to make his owners and trainers regret the decision to aim him at the Caulfield Cup, and one of those will likely be promising filly Lucia Valentina: check out the Racing odds for the Caulfield Cup by following the link!

August 9th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThe Melbourne Spring is as big a stage as any in international racing, and it’s a big step for a horse (and for a trainer) when they make a first appearance at the Festival. That’s what this year’s Spring Season has in store for lightly-raced prospect Martian, but he won’t likely make an appearance in the bigger races, so don’t expect to see his name in those Racing odds.
Trainer Tony McEvoy purchased Martian last year, most likely on the back of Read the rest of this entry »
