Melbourne Spring Odds: Nozomi Shortens For The Derby
October 29th, 2014 by Pom de TurfNozomi has been right in amongst the Racing odds for the VRC Derby for a while, but last week saw some real movement in the odds beside his name at Sportsbet, and punters who had him backed before his odds shortened dramatically will be very pleased with themselves right about now.

October 29th, 2014 by Pom de TurfTempting Melbourne Cup prospect Renew won’t be making an appearance in the 2014 race, we’re hearing this week – the European stayer’s connections have settled on a tilt at the Sandown Cup just a little bit less than two weeks later instead – so you can rule Renew out of your calculations when you’re assessing those Racing odds for The Race That Stops A Nation.
It was OTI Director Terry Henderson who Read the rest of this entry »

October 29th, 2014 by Pom de TurfCraig Newitt, the jockey who was on board Lankan Rupee in the 2014 Manikato Stakes last week, was under some real pressure going into the race: Lankan Rupee had turned in a brace of sub-par performances to this point in the Melbourne Spring, and he was losing ground in the Racing odds for the race. But the Manikato Stakes that we saw is a contender for the most thrilling of recent times, let alone of this Melbourne Spring, and it was Lankan Rupee who Read the rest of this entry »

October 23rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfThere are teams of busy folk at Racing Victoria who work all year round to make sure that the Melbourne Spring sees a glittering array of international stars making the trip to Australian shores to make bids for the biggest races in the Festival. And looking at the Racing odds at the other end of that link will show you that this year there’s a fair chance that the three biggest accolades in the calendar – the Cox Plate, the Caulfield Cup and the Melbourne Cup – could all be claimed by overseas raiders in Read the rest of this entry »

October 23rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfTrainer Joe Pride has been living up to his name this week: he clearly feels confident that his boy Terravista can live up to whatever hype is attached to him ahead of the Manikato Stakes at the weekend – and he’s been taking to the old social media to share his good opinion of Terravista with anyone who’ll listen.
Lots of punters have been listening, it seems like, and plenty are agreeing with him, a look at the Racing odds for the race at the weekend will tell you. Pride is of the opinion that Read the rest of this entry »

October 23rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfGai Waterhouse, Australia’s First Lady of Racing, has come close to a Cox Plate win a couple of times in the past, only to see worthy runners from her stable beaten by genuine champions. You can see from the Racing odds we’ve got for you ahead of the 2014 Cox Plate at the weekend that she faces some long odds to score a winner this time out, but neither of her runners, Almalad and Wandjina, should be written off by any means.

October 23rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfTemple Of Boom is a horse that’s a headline-writer’s dream, but he’s more than just a snappy headline in the making – this is a horse who could have a real say in the Manikato Stakes on Friday night, and he’s rightly in amongst the Racing odds that you’ll see at the end of the link there.
