November 3rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe’ve getting excited. The barrier draw for Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup is in, and it’s just another little hurdle between us and jump-off – one of those little milestones that gets us just a bit more excited as we see each of them pass.

November 3rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfSignoff’s connections knew the task ahead of him going into Saturday’s Lexus Stakes, and they knew the rewards that were potentially on offer if he could do the job for them and come home as a winner in the Group 3 event.

November 2nd, 2014 by Pom de TurfBad news for the mudlarks in the 2014 Melbourne Cup. And if you’ve been looking at those Racing odds and have backed a horse that favours a softer track it might be bad news for you, too: the weather looks to be set fair for the weekend, and crucially for Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup.

November 1st, 2014 by Pom de TurfHe’s no guarantee to make the final field just at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped the odds for Signoff in Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup shortening and shortening over the course of the last week. A glance at the Racing odds as the stand at the moment will tell you that he’s at odds of $15.00 just at the moment, and he’s getting plenty of backing at that price, too.

November 1st, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt’s a well-documented and long-lasting love affair that the McCarthy stables have with Harness Racing in Queensland, and with the Queensland Pacing Cup in particular. Looking at the Racing odds before the race at the weekend, it looked like there would be a strong challenge in 2014 to their historical dominance of the race, and so it proved, but there was more than enough talent on show in McCarthy colours to make the night a roaring success for them – one that showcased an exceptional talent at the same time that it signalled a rising talent for the future.
The strongest challenge came from local hero Avonnova, who was Read the rest of this entry »
