Racing Odds: Pale Mimosa No Certainty For The Melbourne Cup
September 3rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfPale Mimosa, a classy 5-year-old mare trained by Dermot Weld, recorded an eye-catching win at York last week in the Lonsdale Cup – the sort of win that has pundits filling up column inches, that makes punters sit up and pay attention, and that means that Pale Mimosa is a name you’ll see featuring in the Racing odds we’ve got for you as the Melbourne Spring looms.

August 27th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIn a run-out ahead of the Memsie Stakes this weekend, Silent Achiever didn’t put a foot wrong, and trainer Roger James can afford to be well pleased with his prospect’s progress ahead of a Melbourne Spring Season in which she could have a big impact on the Racing odds.
On the course proper at Cambridge in New Zealand, Silent Achiever put in a good 1200m, and James was pleased to talk to the press about her chances in the Spring: ‘the main aim is the Melbourne Cup and we have set our sights on Read the rest of this entry »

August 20th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThis year’s Melbourne Spring Racing Festival could be the first and last chance that More Than Sacred has of finding glory in the Caulfield Cup or the Melbourne Cup.

August 20th, 2014 by Pom de TurfOTI Racing purchased Van Percy back in June with the Melbourne Spring very much in mind, and he returned them a first win in their colours at Goodwood in the UK last month.

August 20th, 2014 by Pom de TurfSilent Achiever is a horse that comes to the 2014 Melbourne Spring with a great Autumn campaign behind her, and trainer Roger James has already confirmed that she will be aimed at the Melbourne Cup this year. But he faces a choice of how the emerging star gets to the Melbourne Cup – the Cox Plate and the Caulfield Cup are both options, and you’d expect Silent Achiever to feature in the early Racing odds for both…
James is pleased with where Silent Achiever has ended up after a very successful Autumn, he told Racing Ahead: ‘she did have a nice hit-out this morning and it was Read the rest of this entry »

August 19th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe’re a long way out from the Melbourne Spring, and the big races that will be the focus of attention for the press and for most punters. There are already some great stories shaping up, though, and one of them is Gai Waterhouse’s The Offer, who’s a chance to bring Australia’s first lady of Racing a second Melbourne Cup win. But the Melbourne Cup isn’t the only race where the Racing odds feature The Offer prominently: could the talented gelding bring Waterhouse an incredible double by winning both the Melbourne Cup and the Caulfield Cup?

August 14th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThere aren’t that many folk who get the chance to lift the Melbourne Cup. Owning and training thoroughbreds is an expensive business, though we suppose the rewards on offer are commensurate with the investment. To lift the Melbourne Cup, though, must be worth about as much to the owners and trainers who win it as the cheque is. And with sponsors Emirates taking the Cup itself on tour around Australia and New Zealand, now’s your chance to get a little sliver of what it feels like to lift the famous trophy, and get a photo of yourself with it for good measure!
Not that any more effort is needed to promote The Race That Stops A Nation – if only judging by the early activity on those Melbourne Cup odds – but we think it’s a great idea by Read the rest of this entry »
