Melbourne Cup Odds: La Amistad In Last Chance Saloon?
October 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt’s crunch time for La Amistad as far as the Melbourne Cup is concerned – she needs to perform this weekend or she’ll likely be out of those Racing odds for The Race That Stops A Nation.
It seems like a shame for a horse who has been so highly rated to be flirting with failure at this stage of the Melbourne Spring, but La Amistad has been steadily falling out of favour with punters, and needs to turn in a performance to get things back on track. So look out for Read the rest of this entry »

October 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfPreparing a racehorse for a huge marquee event like the Caulfield Cup is hard work and there’s more than a little bit of luck required in getting to the start line in peak condition. The rub of the green looks to have been against a few Caulfield Cup hopefuls this week, though, and there will be some names missing from the Racing odds when you check them today by clicking that link…
First of all, there’s Dandino, whose Read the rest of this entry »

October 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThere’s a new favourite in the Racing odds for the 2014 Melbourne Cup this week, as German import Protectionist’s odds have shortened to the point where he’s the horse to beat.
Taking the mantle from Gai Waterhouse’s The Offer, Protectionist now has odds of $7.00 beside his name. The Offer has slipped to $13.00, and between them you’ll find Japanese stayers Bande and Admire Rakti, and classy prospect Lucia Valentina. Protectionist finds himself Read the rest of this entry »

October 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt’s amazing to think that Chris Waller, with all his success, has yet to claim one of the big four ‘Grand Slam’ races here in Australia. He has yet to have a touch of a trophy from the Caulfield Cup, the Cox Plate, the Melbourne Cup or the Golden Slipper. And he won’t want to be reminded of that, particularly – those are some high-profile gaps in his huge trophy cabinet. With four runners right in amongst the horses with the shortest odds in the Racing odds for the Caulfield Cup at the weekend, though, it could be that Chris Waller is about to Read the rest of this entry »

October 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt doesn’t seem all that long ago that we were talking about the possibility of Gai Waterhouse claiming a second Melbourne Cup in two years, and pointing to her runner The Offer’s early favouritism as her best chance. But things have changed over the course of the Melbourne Spring, and things have certainly changed in the Racing odds you’ll see at the end of the link there.
Not that The Offer is out of the picture by any means. He’s a $12.00 bet on Sportsbet as of today, but there are Read the rest of this entry »

October 16th, 2014 by Pom de TurfPunters aren’t just looking at Japanese stayer Bande for the Melbourne Cup on November 4th, but also to win the Caulfield Cup this weekend. He’s right up there amongst the horses with the shortest odds, too, if you have a look at the Racing odds we’ve got for you at the end of that link. He’ll have a check over by the stewards to get through, but once he gets a clean bill of health he’ll be looking to Read the rest of this entry »
Read more »Melbourne Spring Odds: No Caulfield Cup For Red Cadeaux
October 16th, 2014 by Pom de TurfHe’s probably one of the most popular horses around, Red Cadeaux, and he’s incredibly likeable – he has a combination of bravery and talent that has cemented him in the hearts of punters here in Australia, and also staked out his place close to the top of the Racing odds, too. A couple of very close defeats in the Melbourne Cup to date haven’t hurt his profile at all, of course, and he’ll be back for another shot at the trophy in the 2014 edition of the race.
But punters won’t have Read the rest of this entry »

October 16th, 2014 by Pom de TurfOurs won’t be the only eyes fixed on Bachman on Saturday when he turns out in the Caulfield Classic – all the signs are that he’s expected to run a big race, and all the signs are that he will, too. He’s right up there in the Racing odds for the race at Caulfield on Saturday, too, and getting lots of attention from punters, as well.
According to Sportsbet, there has been Read the rest of this entry »

October 16th, 2014 by Pom de TurfMutual Regard will make his bid for the 2014 Melbourne Cup without a preparatory run on Australian soil, it looks like. Trainer Johnny Murtagh is happy to send him into The Race That Stops A Nation on the back of a great run that saw him come home ahead of the rest of the field in the Ebor at York, and he’ll be hoping that fresh legs will see him have a say in the big race. The Racing odds suggest he’s on the right track, too – Mutual Regard is a $21.00 bet on Sportsbet right now…
Obviously, without the benefit of Read the rest of this entry »

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 »
