Caulfield Classic Odds: Magicool Looking Ahead To Victoria Derby
October 16th, 2014 by Pom de TurfAfter an eye-catching UCI Stakes win, Magicool has the VRC Derby firmly in his sights, and he’s shaping up to be a major player in that race – certainly a glance at the Racing odds will tell you that he’s going to be popular with punters.
Magicool is at odds of $8.00 on Sportsbet today for the VRC Derby on November 1st, but that has time to change again before the race – Magicool is in action again at the weekend in the Caulfield Classic, for which there are odds of $7.00 next to his name. He’s proving to be Read the rest of this entry »

August 7th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIn some ways, last year was a disappointing and frustrating year for Star Rolling and his trainers and owners, with the Casino Prince gelding failing to make the Caulfield Cup. His spring form was far from disappointing, though, and he carried himself through the season very nicely – with the result that he will again feature in the Racing odds for the Melbourne Spring.
Trainer Peter Morgan is Read the rest of this entry »

August 6th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe likely won’t know what’s on the horizon for Sertorius in terms of the Cox Plate and the Caulfield Cup until after the Turnbull Stakes at the beginning of October, but we’re certain of this: he’s a real prospect who will be in the Racing odds for both of those races as we get closer to the Spring Season.
Sertorius has a pretty gruelling Autumn campaign behind him, but it sounds to us like Read the rest of this entry »

July 31st, 2014 by Pom de TurfIrish import Voleuse De Coeurs has been stealing hearts (see what we did there?) in Australia for a while now, and her preparations for another attempt at the biggest race of the year will begin with the Makybe Diva Stakes in September. She’s already appearing in the Racing odds for the Melbourne Cup, too: Voleuse De Coeurs is a $51.00 bet for the Race That Stops A Nation as of today, but there’s plenty of time for Read the rest of this entry »

July 29th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThe half-brother of Australia (who’s the horse of the moment in Europe), Our Voodoo Prince will be looking to make a step up in class and challenge for both the Caulfield Cup and the Melbourne Cup in the Spring. And Our Voodoo Prince is already a feature in the Racing Odds for both big races: he’s currently the joint $13.00 favourite for the Caulfield Cup, and a $21.00 bet in the Melbourne Cup field as of today.

July 28th, 2014 by Pom de TurfKirramosa was robbed of the chance to confirm her staying credentials in the Autumn, but trainer John Sargent will be very pleased indeed to see her back to full health and back out on the track again. And Kirramosa is a name we’ll be keeping in mind as the Spring Season comes closer, and it’s one we expect to see featuring heavily in the Racing odds on sites like Sportsbet…

October 21st, 2013 by Pom de TurfCraig Williams might have won the previous two runnings of the Caulfield Cup (on Southern Speed and Dunaden) but he certainly wasn’t the toast of punters at Caulfield on Saturday.
On any other day, Dandino would have won by two lengths Read the rest of this entry »

October 15th, 2013 by Pom de TurfFirst past the post and demoted in the stewards room at Flemington last week, Sea Moon showed great determination to win the 2400m Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes at Caulfield over the weekend.

October 14th, 2009 by adminWhen galloper Predatory Pricer got up off his considerable backside this morning and blinked open his big brown eyes, he was at best third favourite in the betting markets for Saturday’s Caulfield Cup.
By the time he’d relieved himself, been led out the stable and had a little run out, he was heading for the top of the betting after Speed Gifted was dropped out of the 2400m race to instead head off to the Cox Plate in the direction of the Melbourne Cup.
Punters keen on the half brother of Takeover Target will be hoping the bookmakers’ crown does not lie too heavy. He seemed to stubbornly wheel away in the wrong direction at one point this morning and didn’t look terribly chuffed to be up and out on the grass, but then again neither would I at that time of day. Jockey Steven King told the Herald Sun: “His form’s been outstanding even though he’s doing a lot wrong”. Outstanding and imperfect, much like me.
You can currently get 7.60 for him at Betfair, ahead of Vigor on 8.00, with the two joint favourites in other markets. Next in line is Cima De Triomphe at 9.00 and Daffodil completes the top pack at 13.00.
Ergo, Saturday is becoming a bit of a bear trap, but Vigor and Predatory Pricer do at least look in the right place at the top of the tree. More on his throughout the week.
Back to tomorrow’s diversion of the Thousand Guineas now. Irish Lights is still way out in front at 2.55 but Melito, trained by Gerald Ryan, is perhaps a bit on the high side at 10.00 in some markets earlier this week, now at 8.00 with Centrebet.
Betfair has her at a better 9.00 though, and she attracted a spike in punters cash with the bookmaker when easing up to 10.00 earlier in the week. She looks like more fun than a punt on Irish Lights if you are after something a bit more sexy, but if you’d rather play it safe with Melito go with a placings if you can find decent value.
Tomorrow’s race can act as a wind test for Saturday. Hopefully it’s blowing in my favour for what could be a gripping Caulfield Cup. Turf’s up.

October 13th, 2009 by adminIt’s Sunday and whether or not you had any luck at Caulfield yesterday, there’s no time to waste; the racing is coming thick and fast now.
Wednesday sees Australia’s top fillies line up for the Thousand Guineas, again at Caulfield, with Irish lights leading the betting, on 3.00 with IASbet. On to Saturday and we’re at Caulfield again for the Caulfield Cup, where Metropolitan winner Speed Gifted is the current favourite, on odds of 5.00 with Centrebet.
As with the Thousand Guineas, I’ll be spending the next few days picking through the hype and gripes surrounding these two races in the hope of steering you in the right direction.
As it’s Sunday today, however, I decided it was time for some light reading in the shape of a scan around the soccer betting markets for World Cup 2010.
Next year’s tournament is in South Africa and a number of big names have already qualified with room to spare, this includes Brazil, who have already won it five times in the past, and Spain, who dazzled with their passing game in winning Euro 2008.
England have also already qualified, as of course have Australia. Also already in the mix are Holland, who had a decent showing themselves at Euro 2008 before being surprisingly knocked out by Russia.
Pretty much everywhere you look at this early stage you find Spain and Brazil rightly out in front. Both have a very good chance next year, with Brazil winning the warm-up Confederations Cup in South Africa early this year. They are on 5.50, level with Spain, at IASbet, for next year.
Bafflingly, behind these two, come England as the 7.00 third favourites. Granted, they did have a good qualification campaign but their win against Croatia to seal the deal last month was against an under-strength side lacking the talents of Luca Modric. As such they have not faced a true test in a competitive match for a while and it’s bizarre that they are rated as more likely to win than Holland, on 12.00 with the same bookmaker.
A word for Russia here. Ok, they do have the odd strange performance but going forward they can be exhilarating and they were unlucky to go out to Spain in the Euro 2008 semi-finals after a very good tournament which saw them beat Holland. 26.00 therefore looks good for them at this stage with IASbet.
Until tomorrow, when I’ll be counting the mental cost of the weekend’s racing.
