Melbourne Spring Racing Odds: Terravista Too Good
September 25th, 2014 by Pom de TurfTerravista is always a horse to watch in the sprints, and he came into The Shorts at Royal Randwick last week with five wins from his five starts at distances shorter than 1300m – which gives you an idea of the things that are expected from him. One of those expectations is that he will challenge Lankan Rupee at some point over the 2014 Spring Season, and it’ll be worth looking out for him in the Racing odds as that ‘Showdown of the Sprinters’ looms…
And Terravista looked to be building some good form at the weekend as he demolished the field in The Shorts to claim a good win. Trainer Joseph Pride was a happy man after his charge came home so strongly, and he was happy to call him the best horse he has had the pleasure of training: ‘he has Read the rest of this entry »

September 24th, 2014 by Pom de TurfRacing Victoria’s Chief Handicapper Greg Carpenter faces a difficult task – by his own admission – to find the right top weight for the 2014 Melbourne Cup, and we might see a little bit of movement on the weights between now and the start of November. We’re likely to see a little bit of movement in the Racing odds, too, you would think, before the start of the The Race That Stops A Nation, so make sure you Read the rest of this entry »

September 24th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThe Tea Rose Stakes at Royal Randwick last weekend was always going to be a good opportunity to see some key horses in action ahead of some big races in the 2014 Melbourne Spring, and it proved to be that and more. We’re going to need to check back in with the Racing odds for those races to see if there have been any big changes, and we’ve included a link there for you to do the same!
The race was won by Read the rest of this entry »

September 24th, 2014 by Pom de TurfSometimes you see a horse with a notable owner that struggles to come out of the shadow of their owner’s fame a little bit, and last year you could possibly have said that about Brown Panther, who is owned in part by ex England International footballer Michael Owen. But it’s probably less true now after Brown Panther registered his first Group 1 win a couple of weekends ago – and in some style, too!
Brown Panther made the trip to Australia for the Melbourne Spring last year, and it may well be that you see him in amongst the Racing odds for the 2014 Melbourne Cup, too. Especially after 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 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 »

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 »
